@Spec Seems Bwog’s resident trolls have declared a moratorium on op-ed columnists this week. Ballou’s column is pretty self-serving though, he must have put all his energy into his interview.
@ambivalent I’m not sure that Ballou really said anything new… also I am sick of white journalists talking about Spec/publication diversity, even though it’s obviously an important topic.
@well its not like the minorities are complaining. they’re too busy self segregating and demanding anti oppression training for white students like brendan who don’t realize that he’s ipso facto priveleged and oppressing minority students by his presence.
@that troels jorgenson guy would make one hell of a maoist:
“If there’s a problem, I wouldn’t advertise it. It’s better to keep people in good spirits and enjoying the trees”
yeah, just like the cultural revolution, eh?

@isn't he an econ prof? I guess his politics would trend toward bread and circuses…or just bark and circuses, in this case.
@Anna The interview with the Morton Williams kids is hilarious!
