A word from Penelope Blake
Professor Penelope Blake has struck a nerve with her letter to Rep. Donald Manzullo concerning the outrageous NEH-sponsored program at the East-West Center of the University of Hawaii. Professor Blake has been inundated with messages of support from Power Line readers, many of whom have taken her suggestion to share their thoughts with NEH Chairman Jim Leach ([email protected]) and who have contacted their congressmen on their own.

A letter to Jim Leach
We have followed the story of Professor Penelope Blake and the program on the Pacific theater in World War II in a series of posts beginning with “Investigate this” (the letter to Rep. Manzullo that is referred to below is in that post). The program in issue was funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, of which Jim Leach is the chairman. Yesterday Professor Blake wrote Leach as follows: »
Flayings of Chairman Jim
We have faithfully followed the Sayings of Chairman Jim Leach of the National Endowment for the Humanities since he took the helm of the agency at the dawn of the Age of Obama. In the past few months, thanks to the efforts of Professor Penelope Blake, others such as the editors of the New Criterion and Fox News have begun to take note. Leach combines pomposity and foolishness in a »
The NEH vs. America
Jim Leach is the chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities. We have chronicled his speeches in a series of posts seeking to penetrate the essential Leach. Our series of posts on Leach can be accessed here. Leach doesn’t think much of us, and he’s not reluctant to let us know. But he does think highly of himself. Even though he has a staff capable of writing or editing »
