Still more about adjuncts (though from now on I will

good to see that the discussion of ntt faculty is spreading far and wide in the blogosphere. ok, let’s see what people are saying. outside the beltway, james joyner doesn’t think much of the mla recommendations for per-course wages for ntt faculty.

Mitt Romney and the Fallacy of Political “Authentic

i think all you pretty much need to know about the alternative directions mitt romney’s possible presidency might take can be distilled into four words:? “democratic party”, uttered in an interview with fox’s chris wallace from december of last year, and “democrat party” spoken just a couple of weeks ago on cnn to soledad o’brien as part of his a...
