Quote:I give you Linda Gottfredson, the right-wing equivalent of Ward Churchill.
In 1985, Gottfredson participated in a conference called "The g Factor in Employment Testing." The papers presented were later published in the December 1986 issue of the Journal of Vocational Behavior, edited by Gottfredson. In 1986, Gottfredson was appointed Associate Professor of Educational Studies at the University of Delaware, Newark. That year, she presented a series of papers on general intelligence factor and employment.
In 1988 Gottfredson received the first of many grants from the Pioneer Fund for work on educational differences and occupational policy. In 1989, University of Delaware's promotion and tenure committee denied Gottfredson promotion to full professor, citing "flawed" and "unscholarly" research. She was promoted to full professor the next year.
Gottfredson's research and views have stirred considerable controversy, especially her testimony on public affirmative action policy and her defense of The Bell Curve. Since that time she has written a number of articles on race and intelligence, especially as it applies to occupational qualification.
Nearly everything I know I learned by the grace of others.

Ward Churchill? Riiiiiight. This is so absurdly juveinle! Just get over it. You can't deal w/ the hard cold facts, so you try your best to muddy the waters w/ lame character assassination and inane references to that extremist whacko Ward Churchill.

Dreamtrove: I was watching a show on Rove, and in it they had many clips of the young GW Bush as he was stumping Texas for his dad and the Republican party. I was startled... and mean really startled... to see how responsive, oriented and articulate he was at the time, and how he appears now. He glad-handed his way though crowds like a man who knew wehre he was going. He didn't need a little box on his back to tell him what to say then. Something is seriously wrong with the Prez. Maybe he's medicating himself and then others are medicating HIM, or maybe he has a permanent disability but... wow.

Let's see ... Gottfredson .... participated in a conference then edited the journal that published her works from the conference. Took beaucoup research money from the Pioneer Fund, classified as a hate group. Failed to get tenure b/c of weak academic work, then later got tenure - perhaps b/c of her sex ???
Sterling academic credentials. Impeccable ethics.
That's what makes her opinion so ... invaluable.

Quote:HAHAHA! Her letter of recommendation probably included phrases like "You'll be lucky if you get her to work for you" and "Fifteen years on the job and she's still learning".

I've seen young g.w. and it's quite a contrast. I think he's a burnout.
I have to come at this side fight.
Linda S. Gottfredson is right wing?
Ward Churchill is left wing?
I think people are using this wing thing way too much. These are a couple of people so far outside the mainstream that their political ideas don't come anywhere near those of the democratic or republican parties, which is normally fine, except that you've picked a couple of serious loons here. I'm not voting for either one. If they ever get nominated as candidates, I'm probably going to end up reminiscing about the days when we had Hillary and Jeb.

... Bush is embarrissing. Living in a foreign nation, folks here always ask ME what the hell's going on . . . It basically sucks.
... Still, Kerry didn't bring much to the table. I still think Dean could have won, had he not lost his mind mid way through his campaigning. 
... But Bush is a Republican, and GENERALLY, they tend to tax folks less than the Dems (note - I said GENERALLY)... which is a good thing. The Dem ideas and drives to "tax the evil rich" is insane. Hell, we'd all be best off quitting work and going on welfare so gov't could take care of us all, eh.
... Libertarians are cool. Do what you want - so long as it doesn't hurt anybody else. Big government is a sham and a scam (gov't loves your dependence). Economically very conservative, socially very liberal. Gay marriage? Who cares? Go for it. Pot? Light up. Ain't hurting me at all... etc.. They're far from perfect, but better than what I've seen in the last eight years or so.
