Pezeshki's comments are some of the most amusing pieces of left-wing intelligentsia fluffery I've read yet and pull back the curtain on how our faculty libs really feel about the issues. His comments demonstrate quite well why we have no reason to ever fear the campus moonbats getting into political power locally.
One thing that really has to change if the relationship between the towns and the universities is to improve is that the towns need to stop HATING the professors that have chosen to come here for their rank and salary. These professors drive the quality of life in our cities, and their taxes pay for many things that people with lower salaries cannot. The universities also profoundly boost the average income in the area.Mind you, Chuck's happy with his salary. He's just pissed off there's not more genuflecting to our Ph.D. betters like him. And he wonders why people "hate" professors? Chuck forgets one very important point: IT IS THE "FILTHY WORKING CLASS" HE DESPISES SO MUCH THAT PAYS HIS DAMN SALARY AND FOR ALL OF HIS TRIPS TO LONDON, VIENNA, ET. AL. WITH THEIR TAXES! YOU DON'T LIKE SUCKING OFF THE GOVERNMENT TEAT? THEN GO GET A JOB IN THE REAL WORLD WHERE YOU HAVE TO MAKE A PROFIT AND PRODUCE RESULTS, RATHER THAN FLINGING DISDAIN FOR THOSE WITH NO LETTERS AFTER THEIR NAME LIKE YOU!!
Sorry, A G. You get no sympathy from me-- and I've gotten to the point where I've pretty much lost sympathy for most of the working people on the Palouse as well.Are the arrogant, know-it-all, meddling, elitist, communist professors really going to check out of the Palouse? From your lips to God's ears, Chuck.
If you poll most of the professors on campus, they are for higher taxes, which would predominantly affect the rich. Most of the professors are for socialized medicine, which would profoundly help the working poor and lower middle class in the area. Most professors would be for some form of low-rent, subsidized housing in the area. The one thing that the professors are mostly against is sprawl, and loss of community character, because that's the one draw we have going here.
But it's the working classes that are convinced that these things are the enemy. So be it.
I agree that people ought to be appreciative of the good fortune they have. But it's that doggone MARKET I keep hearing about from the lower-middle class that votes for Republicans that's supposed to raise them up and bring us down. It just doesn't seem to be working that way, though.
I've never seen a more dysfunctional, irrational culture in a 1st World country than what's on the Palouse. Keep voting against your interests, and alienating your intellectual and real allies. It's really worked great so far, hasn't it? Your children are being sent to war, your paycheck is dropping, and I can tell you from where the currency rate sits, the bottom is about to drop out from underneath the dollar, making those 'Guaranteed Low Walmart Prices' a thing of sunny memory.
I'm not happy about any of this. And having run for office to try to stop this, I've put my money where my mouth is. But it's exhausting, personally, the level of acrimony from the community. Myself, as well as others-- the ones that would really be interested in sharing community leadership, are really at the point of almost checking out.
Just remember, when the Gods want to punish you, they grant you your wishes.
Best,
Chuck

Judging by his ramblings, I would say that old Chuck is drunk on his self-dellusional power or cheap wine. I think I will call him "Two-Buck Chuck".
Yep, he's a pinko commie. Especially after that "sharing leadership" nonsense. Chuck is used to his university system where he barks orders down to peons, grads and undergrads but is frustrated that his control does not extend beyond the university boundries to us "peasants".
"If you poll most of the professors on campus, they are for higher taxes"
What is stopping them from sending extra money in to the government? What is to stop them from filing returns to get as many deductions as possible?
I call BS on the idea that the profs want to pay more taxes. If they WANTED it, they would DO IT, because nothing is stopping them.
Two Buck Chuck: "Just remember, when the Gods want to punish you, they grant you your wishes."
It's actually the other way around, Chuck. See, we keep wishing that God would take you away, but you're still here, and that's punishment. I just wish I could figure out what we did to deserve you.
Actually, as a self-professed fan of the classics, I'm surprised Chuck missed it.
The Greek playwright Euripides wrote:
"Whom the gods destroy, they first make mad."
It seems Chuck has been slated for destruction.
You mean - Euripides misquoted Pezeshki?
He's definitely a tragedy in one act.
Considering that WSU faculty are paid out of the state's general fund, it's hardly surprising that most would favor raising taxes.
The more I think about it, the funnier I find it. Pezeshki seems to think that professors favoring higher taxes is some sort of evidence of intellectual exceptionalism. But, that must make him and his ilk just like any other public employee.
Sorry Chuckie, you're more ordinary that you imagine. You're so ordinary in fact that you can't even appreciate your own grayness.
