Pirate modeUh-oh. Michael Bérubé has just been awarded a page of his own on Horowitz's Discover the Network. Now he's going to be insufferable.

Comments:
Students, for their part, are expected to devote themselves to the manufacture of critical theory. For instance, a class called "Materials and Methods of Research," taught by Berube in the fall of 2003, called for students "to produce an eight- to ten-page analysis of a theoretical essay of their choice."
Why, how horrible! We shouldn't encourage students to have alternate viewpoints!
Or analyze. Or maybe they were concerned about the "eight- to ten-page" part? Or choice?

maybe "essay"?
Why does anyone take Horowitz seriously? I know people he is attacking has to, as he has backup from the right, but he is a raving lunatic (and he can quote me on that).
You're just jealous, PZ.
Really, such public displays of envy are unbecoming in a mature person.

Some of us don't need to have our own Discover the Network pages-- we're inherently insufferable.
Of course, I don't know whether an Intelligence created us that way or insufferability is an adaptive trait.
Ereshkigal, it's learned behavior, surely? (Although that whole "yelling as he departed the womb" bit might argue against my theory.)
Or analyze. Or maybe they were concerned about the "eight- to ten-page" part? Or choice?
No, they were concerbed with the word "theirs". They are not supposed to have "their" opinion on anything.

I really resent this. I have been insufferable at least since 1996.

When, later in the semester, the same student took issue with Berube's certitude that the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II was an unmitigated wrong, Berube said he was "flummoxed." Assuring the student that he was "quite mistaken," Berube informed him that the U.S. internment camps were "outrageous and indefensible."
Wow, what a scumbag. How dare he disagree with Ms. Internment USA.
Just be really rude to your creationist students, PZ, and you'll eventually get your own page. Keep reaching for that rainbow
