My long time readers are probably aware that I have been using the 
Internet to criticize the President of Bard College, my alma 
mater, for over 15 years over things like the appointment of the 
wretched Martin Peretz to the board of trustees, the 
transformation of the school effectively into an arm of George 
Soros's Open Society Institute, and most recently the sacking of 
Joel Kovel for his anti-Zionist writings.

Using new tools at my disposal (IMovie and Vimeo), I have made a 
couple of videos that should be of interest.

The first is an interview I conducted with Joel Kovel where he 
discusses his experience working at Bard College over a 21 year 
period. It can be seen at:

The other is something I call "Leon and Me", which stars yours 
truly as he takes the viewer on a walking tour of the campus on 
the occasion of my 45th anniversary reunion weekend. It is a 
mixture of nostalgia and political commentary with some good 
jokes, I believe:

Just a word on why I am using Vimeo rather than Youtube. Unlike 
Youtube, Vimeo does not enforce a 10 minute time limit for 
uploaded videos, something that was very important to me for the 
sake of continuity.
