Now you are misreading me too. I said I was amazed that I couldn't get a tenured job when someone like like Brad could. I certainly come up to his standards. As for illiteracy, he's repeatedly done this before. I assume, I hope, he's better in his professional work. And yoiu know as well as I the mechansims that alert people to defects of positions they oppose more than to those they support, that's whyw e have an adversary system of justice. But me, I plead not guilty. I'm pretty ruthless on my side too, as you have had ample opportunity to see. jks

I don't think that's evidence enough that he's an illiterate piece of excrement that doesn't deserve tenure from a decent school. 2) One of the things I've observed in my relatively short (about a decade long) politically aware life is that, oddly enough, it almost always seems to be one's political opponents (and not one's allies) that engage in all the shady practices you outlined. -- Luke
