Sometimes they Just. Don't. Listen.

BTW, some commenter says that our lucky perp wit da big culcha job ain't quite a professor of architecture, but a lot more like a professor of urban planning.

Hmmm. I am starting to feel a certain GUT coming on with the resident of 1600 PA Av.

Urban planning. Anything like community organizin'?

What some people will do to get invited to a beer summit.

BTW, why isn't Obama opining on this?

It's clear that the white woman acted stupidly. Also, it seems that the professor is suffering from a distinct combination of post traumatic stress from the loss of architecturally significant physical structures in Afghanistan and Iraq and non-architectural structural racism embedded within the morningside heights cultural milieu. In other words, the Bush/Cheney war machine was destroying the wrong structures, and is directly responsible for, what the professor so eloquently described as, an unfortunate event.

Day at the office in Pepe's Brave New World.

BTW, I used to live on the corner of 125th, perhaps a couple of blocks west of said bar. But I don't recall fists flying like that -- certainly not Columbia profs sluggin' the peons. O tempora, o mores...

This sounds like a good development, Tecs. We're having a courageous discussion on race, like Hölder wanted. Of course it's not too ballsy to suckerpunch a chick, but if she asks for it...

If done in the name of the oppressed proletarian classes, of course it's OK by Pepe & co. Pinkoethics 101.

Damn, I forgot that clause.
