Hehe - finally checked this Debito person out.  I have to wonder
though - is the Japanese University System so bad that they will give
a tenured professorship to a person simply based on thier being a
native speaker?

Sorry but for someone with a Government Bachelors and International
Relations and Pacific Studies Masters Degree it hardely seems he is
qualified to be an English Professor - much less a tenured one (of
course what else could you do with a Government Undergrad and IRPS
Masters?).  I mean his total college English education would be the 2
undergrad courses anyone with a degree from a US school had to take.
