So, Cornel West, that unctuous fraud, has apparently flounced out of Harvard Divinity School, citing "racism" and "spiritual rot" of some sort, after years of wallowing in the academic trough at Harvard, Princeton, and Yale, then back to Harvard again.

Now, I can certainly believe that there's "spiritual rot" aplenty at the Harvard Divinity School, but I'd suspect that Cornel West is at least part of its source.   Union Theological Seminary in NYC, his new destination, will hardly benefit from his presence.

Oh, and by the way---he's pissed that Harvard has investments in Israel but not in "Palestine."

Palestinian investments don't have much of a return as they are all fired off.... toward Israel.

For decades the joke has been not to utter the "J-word" at Harvard Divinity School.

My alma mater had a talk by Cornel West. If I had money to give them, I would tell them they would get none of it for honoring a Jew-hater.

Depends on what return you want. For some, the lack of return on investment is that the "Palestinian" stuff doesn't kill many Jews.

However, I'm sure "jihad" is acceptable.

One of the comments has them:

Hadji Girl I was out in the sands of Iraq And we were under attack And I, well, I didn't know where to go. And the first think I could see was Everybody's favorite Burger King So I threw open the door and I hit the floor. Then suddenly to my surprise I looked up and I saw her eyes And I knew it was love at first sight. And she said Durka Durka Mohammed Jihad Sherpa Sherpa Bak Allah Hadji girl I can't understand what you're saying. And she said Durka Durka Mohammed Jihad Sherpa Sherpa Bak Allah Hadji girl I love you anyway. Then she said that she wanted me to see. She wanted me to meet her family But I, well, I couldn't figure out how to say no. Cause I don't speak Arabic. So, she took me down an old dirt trail. And she pulled up to a side shanty And she threw open the door and I hit the floor. Cause her brother and her father shouted Durka Durka Mohammed Jihad Sherpa Sherpa Bak Allah They pulled out their AKs so I could see And they said Durka Durka Mohammed Jihad Sherpa Sherpa Bak Allah So I grabbed her little sister and pulled her in front of me. As the bullets began to fly The blood sprayed from between her eyes And then I laughed maniacally Then I hid behind the TV And I locked and loaded my M-16 And I blew those little f***ers to eternity. And I said Durka Durka Mohammed Jihad Sherpa Sherpa Bak Allah They should have known they were f***ing with a Marine

BTW, run Windows Update.

If the IS department at work pushed an update the SAME DAY Microsoft did, it must be very important.

Usually, any IT department evaluates an update to see what it will break first

I don't know how to update either.  Windows used to ask me if I was ready for an update but that doesn't seem to happen now.

Click on the Windows icon at the bottom left, settings

Then find Windows Update in the window it brings up. Click there'

Linux updates are cleaner, actually
