If a newspaper can have a Sweeps Week, this is it. The Rocky Mountain News will be publishing the results of their Ward Churchill investigation all week:
University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill fabricated historical facts, published the work of others as his own and repeatedly made false claims about two federal Indian laws, a Rocky Mountain News investigation has found.
The two-month News investigation, carried out at the same time Churchill and his work are being carefully examined by the university, also unearthed fresh genealogical information that casts new doubts on the professor's long-held assertion that he is of American Indian ancestry.
It's going to take a lot to knock this fake Indian off the gravy train he's been riding for decades. Let's see what the News has brought to the party.

Is "Churchill" even his surname? Because, at this point, I think "Arseh**e" seems more likely.
