Ever since the whole Ward Churchill thing, a really important question has been plaguing me. It is -- why can't I have one of those jobs? I mean, really, why not? I have a doctorate degree-- okay a juris doctor-- which makes me more qualified than Ward Churchill to talk about law and history and stuff. And you know, the pay is pretty good for, so far as I can tell-- not much work. I have to say after 30 plus years as a litigator that Ward Churchill gig is looking pretty good to me. Spout off a bunch of punk talk and get paid $100,000 plus a year.
When I talk, which is mostly to a jury and a judge, the judges are, well, somewhat harsh on occasion and certainly demand more from me in terms of facts and accuracy and research than is apparently ever demanded from Ward Churchill.
So I have adopted a plan that will combine both of my interests-- law and getting a sweet sinecure like Churchill apparently has ( I mean, he's still employed so far as I can tell). I am going to put together a resume showing my qualifications to teach hmmmm== I think I'll pick agesim and sexism === and then I am going to apply to a bunch of universities for a job, and when I don't get it, I am going to sue them. I think this is a very good way to spend my golden years. Unless, of course, some University is willing to buy me off with a job like Churchill has where I can just show up and spout off to a bunch of intimidated students. Any suggestions as to where I should apply would be welcom.
