So, Marshal Tweeto couldn't do any better than Borut Rončević for Minister of Education? You know the kind of guy. He teaches at a private faculty funded by public $. Ewww. How embarrassing. How many students there? Probably not many. They get it. Jean Monet Chair in what? Cheating the public? 😐

Honestly that could work quite well as a comic stage show - two of Indy’s hard-pressed TA’s bumbling around in the background whilst the action takes place elsewhere, wondering what the hell is going on.. same genre as Tom Stoppard’s ‘Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern are Dead’ ..

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Janša, aka "Marshall Tweeto," aren't you plenty old to retire? Janša's political "style" has been compared to Donald Trump's. Slovenia doesn't need him again; he's done enough damage. 😘

I don’t love it when people say ‘deliberately’ when they mean ‘intentionally’.. also describing something very big as ‘enormous’ (enormous meaning something is very bad, not very big) ..

Weasel words from UO. No way this was an academic decision. They got bullied and browbeaten by the Turningpoint mob. A junior academic’s career derailed by a right wing hit squad.
