It’s not often that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi camps under the GOP tent, but that’s just what happened recently when she broke ranks with Bay Area Democrats and the Obama administration and voted to keep billions of dollars in federal student aid flowing into the coffers of for-profit colleges. She had her reasons. Some [...]
The University of Arizona has a website, where you can find out “more” about its academics. Like this: It lists two separate “Dance” departments, but only has a single, combined “French And Italian” department. Oh, and they also have a “School of Dance” on top of it all. But if there’s one academic concentration that [...]
If you every have picked up a copy of that dumb U.S. News ranking of schools and looked at the list, you have likely been surprised that something called “Washington University in St. Louis” is considered among the very best. Yes, that sounds like the name of one of those fake schools that steal government [...]
The colleges use deceptive practices to lure homeless people, veterans and individuals who aren’t prepared for college into unsuitable courses in order to obtain tuition funded by grants and also by federal loans that students have trouble repaying, according to advocates for the homeless, veterans’ groups and current and former students. Almost 90 percent of [...]
When a fellow member defended Obama’s tax cut compromise during yesterday’s closed-door meeting of the House Democratic Caucus, an unidentified member of Congress reportedly shouted out, “F*ck the president,” proving Obama is morally weak. (Click the “READ MORE” button if you want to find out the mystery of what that asterisk is hiding!) Predictably, this [...]
Sarah Palin has won victory in her epic war against a random college student who guessed her high school was “Wasilla” and thus gained access to her Yahoo! e-mail. Sure, this really had no effect on the 2008 campaign except to confirm this woman used a Yahoo! account, either sinisterly or stupidly, to conduct state [...]
THE HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA LIVES! Michigan assistant attorney general Andrew Shirvell has now been fired by Republican state Attorney General Mike Cox (the guy who previously defended this as an important First-Amendment right) for “harrassing” a college kid because he was in the student government and gay. Sorry, he was in the student government AND A [...]
Here is a Paradox, if you like such things: America is a Nation of Semi-Literate Buffoons, but America is also a Nation of Over-Educated (but still dumb) service workers. What? “In all, about 17 million people in this country have completed college only to end up working jobs that require a skill level below that [...]
Wonkette commenter ph7 pointed out this Yahoo news thing that FLIES IN THE FACE OF EVERYTHING WE’VE BELIEVED IN: As she explained to the Wilmington News Journal in 2004, she did “things she regrets” in college, such as drinking to excess and becoming somewhat sexually promiscuous. Those regrets spurred her to promote chaste values, and [...]
When last we saw Alvin Greene, he was bellowing incoherently at local reporters, which might lead you to believe that he has lost his mind and/or rejects all media attention now — but that is not the case! In fact, he seems to have had a friendly chat (or maybe an email exchange, or maybe [...]
Many moons ago, as the days grew short and the air thick with the cold of autumn’s decline, Alvin Greene was allegedly witnessing the act of human reproduction. He then turned to a fellow human and showed her this example of how humans come to be. And now a South Carolina grand jury, out of [...]
Anti-statist Senate candidatista Rand Paul didn’t actually finish college because he did well on his MCAT and got into Duke Medical School, which is actually sort of “bad-ass.” Now, according to Gentlemen’s Quarterly, it turns out “Randy” Paul was part of a SECRET SOCIETY at Baylor made mostly of LIBRULS who smoked POT and did [...]
