this might as well be his concession speech

Wrote about *that* Dana Bash segment on CNN, which is simply one of the most shameful pieces of propaganda I have ever seen on cable news discourseblog.com/p/cnns-disgrac…

Police are shooting rubber bullets at UCLA student kids: 'I can tell you from doing stories about rubber bullets, they are extremely painful. If they hit your leg, your arm, they could break your arm.'

I just had my disciplinary meeting with Cornell Admin regarding my temporary suspension. They have given me until 12 pm tomorrow to make a decision. They have offered “incompletes” for this spring semester (make up coursework later), which means this last semester doesn’t count…

My colleague & friend, the great labor historian Prof. Annelise Orleck. Annelise is out & ok, but was told that a condition of her release is being banned from campus, despite currently teaching two courses.
