Cornel West is Cool
After reading this interview, I’m starting to think that Larry Summers was wrong about Professor West.  If UCLA could make some senior faculty hires, I would certainly support hiring both of them.
He may very well be cool–I can’t really speak to that. He may also be a nice guy for all I know. But, so far as I can tell, the guy is a charlatan. Problem is, what I’ve tried to read by him is so awful that it’s hard to get very far. I guess there’s a non-zero probability that his stuff just starts off really, really weak and gets better. That is a possibility.
The families of people who die in combat do not get personal POTUS calls, neither do Executive Office of the President employees who work 90 hours a week for 8 years for a POTUS. But West thinks he has sacrificed more than those lowly individuals and deserves special treatment because he did some campaign events. Says a lot about his character.
Hire him because he’s cool?
Are you still in high school, or what?
Professor West is very cool, and the fact that he inspires so many young people to think critically about race is the best argument in favor of him teaching at any college or university.
Matthew Kahn has a pretty impressive track record of wrongheaded posts on this blog. Witness for example his post earlier today apparently discerning merit in the meaningless High Broderism recently espoused by the consistently useless Tom Friedman. I can’t figure out whether this post is meant as humor, or is simply Kahn living down to his track record.
Cornel West also has a very deep voice. I bet he can do a passable imitation of the truly great Paul Robeson singing “Ol’ Man River.”
Race Matters is a very good book. I can’t speak to his more technical writing.
Matthew, I do believe you when you say you’d hire Summers at UCLA, if you could. Considering some of the people who work there now, I think that he’d fit right in.
I’d like to hang out at B.B. King’s house and write songs with Bootsy Collins, too. It’d be awesome. But if you think that the fact that you got the chance to do that means you’re making the world a better place, then you’ve been spending too much time with famous people. If I said, “Last weekend I was at Clooney’s, and we ate sushi off Jessica Alba’s naked body, then later I gave him some notes on a script he’s working on. That’s an important role I’m playing,†you’d think I was just about the biggest jackass you’d ever met. And you’d be right.
Asal mula web Judi Poker Online Mengelokkan dipercaya di Dunia.
Dari segi buku Foster’ s Complete Hoyle, RF Foster menyelipkan “ Permainan situs pokerqq paling dipercaya dimainkan mula-mula di Amerika Serikat, lima kartu bikin masing masing pemain dari satu antaran kartu berisi 20 kartu”. Tetapi ada banyaknya ahli tarikh yg tidak setuju diantaranya David Parlett yg menguatkan jika permainan situs judi poker online paling dipercaya ini mirip seperti permainan kartu dari Persia yang dibawa oleh As-Nas. Kurang lebih sejahrawan menjelaskan nama produk ini diambil dari Poca Irlandi adalah Pron Pokah atau Pocket, tetapi masih menjadi abu-abu karena tidak dijumpai dengan pasti sapa yg menjelaskan permainan itu menjadi permainan poker.
Walau ada sisi per judian dalam semua tipe permainan ini, banyak pakar menjelaskan lebih jelas berkaitan gimana situs judi poker mampu menjadi game taruhan yang disenangi beberapa orang dalam Amerika Serikat. Itu berjalan bertepatan dengan munculnya betting di daerah sungai Mississippi dan daerah sekelilingnya pada tahun 1700 an serta 1800 an. Pada saat itu mungkin serius tampil terdapatnya keserupaan antara poker masa lalu dengan modern poker online tidak hanya pada trick berspekulasi tetapi sampai ke pikiran di tempat. Mungkin ini lah cikal akan munculnya permainan poker modern yg kalian ketahui sampai saat tersebut.
Riwayat awal timbulnya situs judi poker paling dipercaya Di dalam graha judi, salon sampai kapal-kapal yg siapkan arena betting yg ada didaerah setengah Mississippi, mereka terkadang bermain cukup hanya manfaatkan 1 dek yg beberapa 20 kartu (seperti permainan as-nas). Game itu terkadang dimainkan langsung tidak dengan diundi, langsung menang, punya putaran taruhan, dapat meningkatkan perhitungan taruhan seperi game as-nas.
Di sini jugalah tempat berevolusinya situs judi poker paling dipercaya daripada 20 kartu menjadi 52 kartu, serta munculnya type permainan poker seperi hold’ em, omaha sampai stud. Herannya orang melihat bila poker stud jadi poker pertama dan classic yang telah dimainkan lebih daripada 200 tahun.
Diakhir tahun 1800 an sajian Poker Online mulai disematkan lagi ketentuan baru diantaranya straight dan flush serta beberapa type tipe yang lain lain seperti tipe poker low ball, wild cards, community cards of one mode dan lainnya.
