Why Yes: Homeless Hoes!!!

Re: # 51

Padash,

Yes, they are good questions. I tend to come up with lots of "good questions". I have to say, I did not find this piece authentic in any way, shape or form. It passes as stand up rant, but as long as it makes you and mindless chowkies happy...

Hey Padash,

Interesting piece. What was it like to work at some of the jobs you listed, like waitressing, housecleaning, etc? What drew you to those particular jobs as opposed to clerical work?

We are pleased to share a call for nominations for the NYU-Scholars at Risk /
Vivian G. Prins Global Scholars Fellowships for the 2009-10 academic year. We
invite you to share it with colleagues in the NYU community, and to consider
nominating candidates for visits to your center, department or school.

Fellowship details:
The fellowships are available to support temporary visits to NYU of up to one
year by professors, lecturers, researchers and other intellectuals who have
shown potential as important contributors to their discipline and community,
and who suffer intimidation or persecution in their home country or country of
current residence.

Fellowships are expected to last for a maximum of one year. Fellows will be
appointed through the inviting host center, department or school. Award
amounts will vary based on the fellow's level and needs, as well as other
available support. Total fellowship awards will be in the range of $50,000 -
$70,000 per annum (including fringes and any additional host support).

Deadline and application:
Fellowship applications are available at: http://scholarsatrisk.nyu.edu. The
deadline for first round nominations is June 1, 2009. Nominations will be
accepted on a rolling basis thereafter until available funds are committed.
The fellowships are provided by the Provost's Office, thanks to the generous
support of the Vivian G. Prins Foundation, to support the work of the Scholars
at Risk Network, an international network of universities working to promote
academic freedom and to defend threatened scholars worldwide. Scholars at Risk
is headquartered at NYU.

For questions, please contact:
Robert Quinn, Director, Scholars at Risk Network, New York University, 194
Mercer Street, 4th Floor, 1-212-998-2179 (tel), scholarsatrisk@nyu.edu.

also, perhaps someone could speak to the unacceptable misogyny that drowns anti a. roy bias...is this institutionalized patriarchy as usual, even in the subcontinent's self proclaimed democracy?

India's media is an institutional corollary of a larger conceptualization. And their anti progressivism is a serious problem for them.

Re: # 24

why are you winking at me? and yes, if your prose is tending towards "tangenital" (eye roll), perhaps it's time to develop some satiric proficiency in other topics, miss potty mouth?

Quite entertaining, but in need of a good edit. Let's go Padash, you're at the next level and should be able to see what works and what can be revised or cut out. Otherwise, this much tangential text is asking too much of the reader.

nb, education complicates the biological imperative, in my opinion.

Why are women socialized to "please men"?

Prof. Saadia Tor also pointed out that the participants of these demonstrations are a wide cross section of Pakistanis and not, as some have contended, followers of Judge Chaudhry.

By the way Patrick, I am not necessarily casting Salim as the hero-that's clearly Jamal. Salim is an anti hero.

Patrick,

Salim as just a "slimeball"? That's one reading and not the only one.
