She's taken. Her "life" partner is even cuter.

Wait a minute. Does life partner mean what I think it does?

Indeed.

I don't know if Harry attended Yale or not and don't really care. I
get a bit responsive though when he his critical of others in terms of
their education or tries to justify the qualifications of people based
on what school they went to rather than what they accomplish.

With our kids I preached that in reality it didn't matter what school
you went to as long as you pursued a degree. A degree is a key for
opportunity but unless you plan to enter the job market as an attorney
or something at some prestigious law firm, the school you attended and
earned your degree from really isn't that important. The biggest
battle I had with our oldest son was trying to convince him that his
school selection should not be based on the football coach's offensive
line strategy. (He was quarterback and team captain of his high school
football team).

I saw a show the other day where a professor at a well known big
university was discussing this. She made the point that more focus
and interest should be given to trade and technical schools in the
US. Mike Barnacle was also a panelist on the show and he and she
both agreed that one of the biggest educational "bargains" today are
Jr. Colleges and state universities, both of which Barnacle attended
and earned his degree.

Having dealt with many people who never left the world of academia,
worked at big colleges and universities and rated themselves and their
peers based on how many papers they authored and delivered, I couldn't
agree more with the show's quest or Barnacle.

There's nothing wrong with pursuing education at any reputable
institution of higher learning.

Unless things have changed dramatically, there is little difference in
the first two years of course at Ivy schools and at any decent major
public university. Most are taught by a combination of TA's and lower
rank professors. The higher level courses at Ivy schools and other
prestigious institutions tend to be run by higher ranking professors.

There is a difference in grad schools, though, at least in the liberal
arts. I had a very famous faculty chair directing me for my M.A. in
English, and I don't think that would have been the case at, say,
Michigan State, which, by the way, is a fine institution.

My wife is experiencing a quality faculty as she finishes up her
dissertation. There are three faculty committees that guided and
criticized her research. She has a colleague who is pursuing the same
degree at another institution. The colleague does not have to write a
dissertation.

Apparently, there are a number of name-brand institutions that do no
require their grad students to research and write a long paper as part
of the process of earning an advanced degree. *That* is a loss.

But as been pointed out, no one really looks at your grad school courses
when you apply for a job.

Your wife is going for her third terminal degree? She is going to be a
Dr. Dr. Dr.

Which reminds me. I was watching one of Harry's favorites, Rachael
Maddow the other day.
I get a kick out of her because she's so blatantly biased. She was
interviewing some guest, discussing a subject that had absolutely
nothing
to do with Bush, Obama, the economy or anything of current
importance yet
somehow she found a way to cast blame on Bush in response to almost
anything the guest said. It was comical and I wish I had a tape
recorder
or DVR on to preserve it.

I guess it's currently the "in" thing to be an elitist, liberal,
Bush
bashing celebrity I guess. It surprises me because she holds a
PhD in
something, so she's not stupid. Just brainwashed.

Eisboch

Bush has had a hand in or on just about every major problem this
country
is facing. The majority of adults in this country give him very
low marks
and will be pleased to see him out of office. Maddow's doctorate
is from
one of the Oxford colleges.
So what? Bush went to Yale. You are so over impressed with academic
credentials that you are blinded to reality.

Eisboch
A C student who got in on his family's coattails.

They guy doesn't have critical thinking skills. He's just ****ed up
the 5th job he's had in his adult life.

He's batting 1.000

Which has nothing to do with Harry's fascination and worship of
people with Ivy league degrees.
It's a common issue in his assessment of the "smartness", job
qualifications and value of others.

During a presidential news conference, I particularly liked Ronald
Reagan's response to a reporter who was trying to make a name for
himself by asking about Reagan's school (Eureka College) in a wise
ass and critical way.

Reagan paused for a minute then replied (paraphrasing), "gee, I was
just thinking of what I could have become if I had gone to a big name
school".

IMO, Reagan was a lot smarter and accomplished than the modern left
give him credit for.
I am not necessarily speaking of his policies. I am referring to his
leadership qualities. He was secure in his mind of what he wanted to
achieve, he handled himself well in a crisis and oozed with optimism
for the future which was infectious to the rest of the population.
That's true leadership. I am not alone in this assessment or
opinion. More and more people that worked closely with him are
coming forward, discounting many of the rumors and myths of him being
a "dullard" or asleep at the wheel.

Eisboch


Which has nothing to do with George W. Bush or Sarah Palin, who are
dunces, and Rachel Maddow, who is not. There's nothing about Bush's
academic background that impresses me. He got into Yale as a legacy
and Harvard Biz because of family connections. He was a mediocre
student and he is a mediocre intellect. Palin is intellectually lazy,
and it shows.
Maddow is very, very bright and it shows.
The problem with your argument is that by denigrating Sarah Palin and
George W Bush and their accomplishments you minimize any one else when
they accomplish the same thing. Being a governor or president isn't an
achievement of merit, hell Sarah Palin and George W Bush were Governors.
And George W Bush was President. Barak H Obama hasn't done anything that
a dunce off the street hadn't already accomplished. And, Bush a dunce
had already attended an Ivy League school not much of an accomplishment
Barak H Obama to do what a dunce has already done.

Maddow is a radical partisan. The only thing interesting about here is
that she is a fresh face in the crowd.
Just looked up Maddow. She's kind of cute. Who is she dating?

Harry, you spend more time setting up your filters than anyone I know.

Yes, when you upgrade Windoze, it does keep all of your settings in your
software. You can also save all of your settings, and do a clean
install of Windows and still keep all of your software settings.

Trust me, it never happened, anymore than Harry graduated from Yale.

When I was in high school, even the skanks wanted to date junior and
senior guys. In my school, the administration strongly discouraged the
parents of freshman girls from dating older boys, because they were too
eager to please the older guys just so they could date them. If you
look at the physical and mental maturity of the average female and
compare them to the physical and mental maturity of the average male,
the females are at least 3 yrs ahead of the guys.

Any 16 yr old girl who screwed a 12 yr old boy, would have serious
physiological problems. If Harry was a 16 yr old guy who bragged of
screwing a 12 yr old girl, most people would be shocked that he would
tell this story. Yet, the average 12 yr old girl is more physically and
mentally mature, than the average 12 yr old boy.

Of course, you didn't see it.

Of course I did. Peter Jennings or Thomas Edison could have made

No one in the Palin family should leave school with less than a BA if
they hope to earn a living via means other than tabloid fees.
