Seems pretty obvious from the language you quoted that what the U of C Law
School does is call their part time instructors "Professor" once the
instructor gets elected to public office. Why in the world would they do
that? Duh...

My Lincoln reference seems quite apposite.

Seems pretty obvious to me that their definition of "Professor" is entirely
in keeping with the dictionary:

So a part-timer who has written nothing of note in his field and is not on
the tenure track is "of the highest academic rank?" I don't think so.

did you not read the statement? he was a full professor rank but was
not on the career track. almost every collage has full professors
doing the same. most field researchers IMU hold the same position
because field research takes time that a full professorship cannot
allow.
this little bit just shows that instead of one those who cant do teach
professors. Obama was one of those i am doing and teaching folks.
yall seem to think the damn world only works when you are looking at
it. WTF do you expect the guy to do? he has not failed a company, he
has tought and done law, he has been a senitor, he has a voteing
record you can look up, he has not crashed several air craft, so what
he was not military bush was not either, mccain was a ****ing flyboy
that had some bad luck he crashed and was captured one of the very
damn few, the thing that saved his chicken neck was that he was a
zero. those prision camps didnt have a whole lot of grunts and noncoms
they where chock full of zeros,
he couldnt spill any secrets because he didnt have any to spill he was
not in command of any men, his one actual command was a freeking
training squadren the he didnt actually have to run at all.

frankly nether of these bozos is qualified to run a toy train. the
folks who are qualified wont go within ten miles of this office.

The only guy who is qualified to run a country is Cheny and he does it
in the same draconian manner he ran his company, bush is the talking
head. Palin is trying for cheny's position and she flat can't manage
her brain let alone a country.

the only choice you have at this point, is who will do the least
damage?
Mccain or obama, neither is the best choice, just the choices we
have.
so you sailors think of it this way: if you are in a storm and your
halyard is jammed into the top block so tight that your only option is
for someone to go aloft and free it. who you gonna send up to die? who
has the chance of fixing the problem before everyone dies and the ship
is lost? neither of these two crew you took along has actually ever
been in a gale but one has simply lived longer than the other and so
has more experiance by virtue of time.

IMO this country is currently in a storm with all he skirts in the
gale. the whole mess has hoplessly jammed at the mast head and someone
has to go up.
