Wow. She had five kids. Gee, what an accomplishment. Too bad she didn't
leave herself enough time to properly instruct and raise them, eh? Her
daughter is now a high school dropout.
So was Thomas Edison.
Do you have difficulty recognizing the gulf between Edison and Palin's
relative intellects?
That woman is dumb as a stump. She's got charm and natural political
savvy (apart from the Hitler routine) but she couldn't think her way
out of two sheets of newspaper.
Besides, I was commenting about the governors daughter.
ho were you thiking of?
The governor's daughter is dumber than a stump. The product of a high
middle income family, she should have known better than to allow herself
to become pregnant, and then talked into going full-term and marrying
her high-school dropout boyfriend.

This is all her mother's fault.

nope,


Sure it is. Mama Palin did not raise Sprocket, or whatever her name is,
properly. A properly raised daughter would not have gotten pregnant and
would have resisted being forced to carry full-term or to marry a high
school dropout boyfriend.

My feeling is the daughter was pressured into her choices.

Maybe she was raised to believe that life was sacred. Killing babies may
not have been one of her values.

This is not an inquiry. It's only a comment.

Your comments would tend to lead people to believe that you have never
had a teenaged daughter.

Well, I did. But she's all grown up now, married, with children. In her
teen years, she knew how to prevent pregnancies and transmission of STDs.
Her mother and I made sure she knew, and so did her schools.
And my daughter was and is about as stubborn as can be. But she sure as
hell did not want to be an unmarried teen mother.


Well that's good and congratulations. As an experienced parent of a
teenaged girl I am sure you can appreciate the fact that other parents with
the same level of effort aren't always so successful.

Au contraire...she was very cute and very active, and smart enough never

Don't most readers have the ability to simply trasfer over the

uh, neither is Harry?



I don't know about "most" readers, but transferring over filter settings
from a PC Windoze version of T'bird to a Mac version is not a trivial
task. For starters, the two operating systems have different file
attributes and stash files and folders in different places within the
OS. There's an add-on that allows saving settings, email, addresses, et
cetera, and then stuffing them back into a new copy of T'bird, but it
doesn't work cross-platform.

It only takes a couple of minutes to set up filters, and I started the
process on my new VISTA setup. So far, Reggie, Herring and the pile of
schitt known as Florida Jim are in there. Plenty of room for others.

Oh boy. You must be really upset with me for teasing you, judging by
your comments.
Tell me Donkey breath. If Sarah Palin read Rec.boats or knew of all the

Which explains why Harry Krause has fabricated his Yale story. He is
hung up on his inability to get an Ivy League education. I still don't
understand why or how he ever came up with Univ. of Kansas in his quest
to get a quality Liberal Arts Education.

If you look at the number of people who have been successful in their
chosen fields you will see most DO NOT have an Ivy League school
education.

I would also postulate that most of those successful individuals who DO
HAVE an Ivy League would have been successful no matter what college they
went to.

The Ivy League education can help someone in their first job, but after
that, it is up to the individual's ability to perform.


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.

And that he's got nothing to back it up - just invective?

Try ignoring him for a while - it's fun to watch him attempt to get
your attention. Then you answer him once or twice, then ignore him
again.

It will drive him nuts - well, more nuts than he already is. :)

It works like a champ.

It must have really crushed him when you shunned him like you did. I
wonder if he will ever get over it.

He's still trying to get back into Toms good graces and it is fun to watch.

The problem with attitudes like Harry's is that it spreads to the kids in
school, many of whom are trying to win a popularity contest because of the
school they choose. In Virginia, any credit earned at a community college
*must* be accepted by any state university. My younger daughter took
advantage of that, going to a community college for two years and then
transferring to George Mason for her nursing degree. She saved a lot of my
money. She then used that to help with the down payment on a house.

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.

Harry, you are lying through your teeth.

You bragged about her being 16 years old and you were only twelve.
Willing or not, that is rape in this state - there is no such thing as
concentual sex between underage children.

It's statuatory rape - period, end of discussion.

Honest to pete Harry - you can't even get your story straight.

Use an index of some sort will you?


Well, it was a long time ago. I remember the event, and being 12 or 13,
and the gal being a year or so older. I do remember her name, though.

It's consensual, by the way.

I didn't complain. Despite the statutes.

And I didn't get pregnant and have to drop out of high school.


You may not remember her age today, because that is one of the problems
with Alzheimer. About a year ago, you were very emphatic about her
being 16.

I can imagine the 16 yr old who want to have sex with a 12 yr old.
It is not a pretty sight.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

That's true for most people. In fact, for most people applying for a job
the school they received their undergrad degree isn't that important.

Sometime I feel sorry for people that invested all the time and money
pursuing degrees and advanced degrees thinking it made them specially
qualified only to find out that in the real world nobody cared, other than
their academic peers.

This isn't directed at you or your wife, but I knew many of them due to the
type of work I was involved in. Many shared a couple of common attributes
in their personalities. First, they thought they were special, superior
creatures because their greatest achievement was producing their CV. The
other is that they were often very frustrated.

To her credit, Maddow *is* doing something with her PhD. She's the host of
a nightly comedy show.

Which explains why Harry Krause has fabricated his Yale story. He is hung

get a quality Liberal Arts Education.

If you look at the number of people who have been successful in their
chosen fields you will see most DO NOT have an Ivy League school
education.

I would also postulate that most of those successful individuals who DO
HAVE an Ivy League would have been successful no matter what college they

The Ivy League education can help someone in their first job, but after
that, it is up to the individual's ability to perform.

The problem with attitudes like Harry's is that it spreads to the kids in
school, many of whom are trying to win a popularity contest because of the
school they choose. In Virginia, any credit earned at a community college
*must* be accepted by any state university. My younger daughter took
advantage of that, going to a community college for two years and then
transferring to George Mason for her nursing degree. She saved a lot of my
money. She then used that to help with the down payment on a house.

She learned something.

A friend of mine's daughter will be attending Vanderbilt next year. She
aspires to be a third grade teacher or get a degree in Mrs.

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.

That's true for most people. In fact, for most people applying for a job
the school they received their undergrad degree isn't that important.

Sometime I feel sorry for people that invested all the time and money
pursuing degrees and advanced degrees thinking it made them specially
qualified only to find out that in the real world nobody cared, other than
their academic peers.

This isn't directed at you or your wife, but I knew many of them due to
the type of work I was involved in. Many shared a couple of common
attributes in their personalities. First, they thought they were special,
superior creatures because their greatest achievement was producing their
CV. The other is that they were often very frustrated.

To her credit, Maddow *is* doing something with her PhD. She's the host
of a nightly comedy show.

Years ago at Bell Labs in Holmdel there was a PhD that had little mirrors
mounted on his eye glasses and walked around the halls backwards.

Wow. She had five kids. Gee, what an accomplishment. Too bad she didn't
leave herself enough time to properly instruct and raise them, eh? Her
daughter is now a high school dropout.
So was Thomas Edison.
Do you have difficulty recognizing the gulf between Edison and Palin's
relative intellects?

That woman is dumb as a stump. She's got charm and natural political
savvy (apart from the Hitler routine) but she couldn't think her way
out of two sheets of newspaper.
Thank you for your interjection. the comment was to be taken that even
if you are a HS dropout (also, like Peter Jennings) you can still make
something of your self.

Of course, you didn't see it.

Of course I did. Peter Jennings or Thomas Edison could have made
something of themselves regardless of school.

That is extremely pretentious of you to make that statement after the
fact. Would you have made that statement the same day Peter Jennings
dropped out of High School? What about the day Thomas Edison dropped out
of Hight School?

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.

Typical liberal elitist attitude. They haven't done what you believe is
acceptable therefore they are failures and will always be failures.

Sounds like you are jealous of the woman. Maybe your buddy in Ohio
could recommend a shrink to deal with your hangups.

Have you guys ever noticed that our good friend and long time foil
Harry takes these extreme positions on almost every political issue
that comes up for discussion?

And that he's got nothing to back it up - just invective?

Try ignoring him for a while - it's fun to watch him attempt to get
your attention. *Then you answer him once or twice, then ignore him
again.

It will drive him nuts - well, more nuts than he already is. *:)

It won't work for me. I am a permanent resident of his Bozo bin and
he never sees me gently poking fun at him. Except when he is having
technical difficulties with the Bozo bin. Like now for instance.

Well maybe Harry's problem is the Bozo Bin has filled up and is
overflowing and filling up his Newsreader with our septic waste. *He
probably needs to bring in one of the big trucks that can suck up the
fecal waste from his Bozo Bin. *Oh the humanity! * * ;)

Maybe His buddy Salty can help him out with that. He has an important
position with BFI you know.

Does he drive the truck long distance or just in the local neighborhoods?

He's not actually the driver. He has a position at the opposite end of
the truck.

Harry, you are lying through your teeth.

It's statuatory rape - period, end of discussion.

Well, it was a long time ago. I remember the event, and being 12 or 13,

It's consensual, by the way.

You may not remember her age today, because that is one of the problems

I can imagine the 16 yr old who want to have sex with a 12 yr old.
It is not a pretty sight.

She must have been a real skank.

1. So are the fellows (?) involved with NAMBLA. I'm sure you approve
of consent there as well?

2. Of course you would not have complained. Whores rarely do.

3. Health classes don't have to teach the possibility of male
pregnancy. But they're could be a rare exception and you lucked out.

Put your one inch woodie back in your trousers, reggie. I have a new
install of Vista on my Mac laptop, and I haven't bothered to set up the

don't get too excited...your presence in my newsgroup inbox will be

Harry, you spend more time setting up your filters than anyone I know..
Most people just click the set up filter button, and the spend less than
10 secs setting up the filter for those they don't want to read. *You
spent more time responding to Jim and my post than it would have taken
to set up 20 filters.

Don't most readers have the ability to simply trasfer over the
settings such as filters, etc.? I am not an expert like Harry, but,
uh, neither is Harry?

I don't know about "most" readers, but transferring over filter settings
from a PC Windoze version of T'bird to a Mac version is not a trivial
task. For starters, the two operating systems have different file
attributes and stash files and folders in different places within the
OS. There's an add-on that allows saving settings, email, addresses, et
cetera, and then stuffing them back into a new copy of T'bird, but it
doesn't work cross-platform.

It only takes a couple of minutes to set up filters, and I started the
process on my new VISTA setup. So far, Reggie, Herring and the pile of
schitt known as Florida Jim are in there. Plenty of room for others.

Oh boy. You must be really upset with me for teasing you, judging by
your comments.
Tell me Donkey breath. If Sarah Palin read Rec.boats or knew of all the
unkind thinks you say about her, would you still say them?

Of course he would. And I'm sure that she would feel heartbroken,
rejected, and shamed by Herr Kraus' comments.

Remember, he is the epitome of morality.
