and he now teaches law at regents – a nice fit with the reassurances from their damage control spokesman that less than half of those initially admitted would not meet the more rigorous standards in place at regents today.

have yet to hear an explanation as to how this is reassuring…

I’d like something more my style – maybe a DJ on some kind of moveable platform? I think I can talk DJDPPPP into it!

I think my main beef with her stems from my main beef with most desis I dislike at a gut level: they seem totally unable to laugh at themselves, and thus are very unlikely to engage in any serious attempt at self-critical examination.

Hence Ms. Paulose’s befuddlement at her initiation being described as “a coronation.” And I conjecture that this feeds into her “style,” and that’s already led to her top aides voluntarily TAKING A DEMOTION (seriously, who does that without good reason? Even in the incredibly charged world of federal politics, no one’s jeopardizing their career growth just to make a point), and that’s already getting her in trouble.

I think she’s part of the administration’s / Gonzales’ amazing but stealthy plan to combat pornography, which is getting kind of absurd.

Maisnon, you HAVE TO GRILL HER IN PERSON!

Also, I think you should show up to the NASABA event with a choir and a Marine Color Guard, and just say that’s how you roll.

I still don’t understand the particular reference to christian Indians being able to find common ground with Coulter in particular(which was what the comment i was responding to stated) – what is it about Coulter in particular that christian browns would identify with? if the commenter meant conservatives, generally, I could understand, but if it is Coulter in particular, I would be interested in hearing more.
