“You talk like a man with a paper ass”. Someone needs to enlighten you about the need to cite examples.<\/p>\n

How did you ever get your job at Stanford?<\/p>\n

Dear Angry Reader Gary Seager,<\/strong><\/p>\n

In such a brief note, you still warrant an Angry Reader score of 2\u2014given vulgarity and ad hominem attack in lieu of an idea or argument.<\/p>\n

How odd you demand \u201cexamples\u201d in a 750 word syndicated column nevertheless full of examples of officials such as Brennan, Clapper, and Comey who have all three, as I wrote, lied to Congress; Clapper and Brennan have admitted to such and apologized. I noted the FISA court and the flawed email investigations. What examples in fact are you citing for your crude assertions?<\/p>\n

As to your last inquiry about how one gets a job at Stanford:<\/p>\n

One gets a job at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, by both outside audit and internal review of one\u2019s publications, teaching, public commentary, and prior conduct as a professor and academic, all a matter of record. Anyone is welcome to apply, you included.<\/p>\n

So simply send an application to the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Stanford CA 94305. Be sure to include a vita with your education and terminal degree, teaching record, list of scholarly books and articles, public op-eds, and list of scholars in your field willing to offer candid and confidential assessments.<\/p>\n

Then your application with be examined by:<\/p>\n

1) the director,<\/p>\n

2) a select committee of Hoover senior fellows,<\/p>\n

3) a vote by all the senior fellows,<\/p>\n

4) the relevant academic department in which you would teach if a full professor at Stanford,<\/p>\n

5) an outside assessment conducted by that department, based on evaluations of your work by those in your field at other universities,<\/p>\n

6) and a final decision by the provost at Stanford whether you meet Stanford University tenure and promotion standards for full professor.<\/p>\n

The entire process can take only a year or so, is professionally conducted, and I certainly urge you to apply if interested.<\/p>\n

Sincerely, Victor Hanson<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
