I feel like ...Mazel Tov on your new old residence.<br /><br />I feel like the theme here could be "Just tell it to me straight", headlines about people who need to stop spinning and lying:<br />1. Ole Miss - I saw the headline about Ole Miss, but I hadn't traced far enough to see the specific details of his position, so "tenure-track" is helpful context. The pretense from the school is that he wasn't "communicating face to face" with his Dept Chair, or something; what an insulting prevarication. <br />2. Rep Buck - he's trying to spin it as a criticism of jumping the line ("should prioritize elderly and front-line workers..."). But that's obviously not consistent with the statement. He didn't say "I'm not going to get this yet because other people need it more." He said 'I think this is unsafe and I am not going to get it [at all].' <br />3. The Cow - sets people straight on their antisemitism<br />4. U Dallas - obviously.<br /><br />The Bowman interview doesn't quite fit that theme, but is very well-spoken and so pretty much just what I expect from him (residing in NY-17).Benjamin Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04115050650579749235noreply@blogger.com
