Re: College Education

That's a good point, JSO. Sadly, more often than vice versa there's talk of requiring fewer upper-level classes and requiring more non-major credits, usually accompanied by the chorus of "colleges are turning into vocational schools!" and "what about a well-rounded education and lear...

Re: Bond Market Reflects True Cost of Obamacare

The federal government has a magic vault that never runs out of money. Who cares what the balance sheet looks like? Party like it's 1999.

Re: Georgia Southern's leading rusher quits, looks to transfer:

Just don't think he has the speed for the A-back position and Monken for some reason doesn't want to play him at fullback. So he might as well transfer somewhere else. There are many FCS and DII schools he could go to where he'd be the starter. Good luck to him [EDIT] LoL...why is the word "phu...

Re: UNI over KU or ASU over UM?

Appie. Sorry UNI, but it's much harder for the little guy to bring down a big guy in football than in basketball. I'm sure there have been schools that play bball in FCS conferences that have brought down top 5 teams. In football, it doesn't happen nearly as often.

Also, I think states should get a HOPE-like system like Georgia's. It could be funded through a state lottery and extra taxes on legal casinos. I remember Alabama trying.

Re: College Education

As I've said in at least three other threads related to this subject, the costs need to get under control before we do any of that. The reason costs have raced way ahead of inflation is that too many schools have too many unneccesary and expensive bread and circus programs to attract the type of stu...

Re: Tonight I'm Embarrassed at our Government...

What a surprise...the most expensive and most likely to be popular portions of healthcare bill take effect immediately and the ones designed to cut costs take effect well after the 2010 and 2012 elections.

By the way, did Shrub ever pass a bill that didn't get a single donk vote?
