Have another bottle on me, counselor.

Phonier than an Andover/Yale plutocrat with a phony accent and a "ranch"
with no cattle?

Phonier than an AWOL former National Guard pilot posing on the deck of
an aircraft carrier in a flight suit and a cod piece under a "Mission
Accomplished" banner?

So apparently you stipulate that neither Gore nor Kerry are phonier than
an Andover/Yale plutocrat with a phony accent and a "ranch" with no cattle?

did see one of my former students last year. while here, she was a quiet,
violin-playing, conservatively-dressed, high school republican. after 6
months at yale, she returned home for a holiday break sporting a
nose-piercing, rasta-like hair, bell-bottom-hippie attire. it was an
encouraging experience. g



My kid got into a very "well respected" private, "we train you to make money
and buy a Mercedes" University that was what he wanted, he thought. He
thought that regardless of his parental units trying to get him looking
elsewhere. We specifically asked him to not worry about 'career' yet, and
to just experience the joy of learning for the sake of learning.

After one semester, he was complaining that "these people are all zombies
that don't care about anything except getting a high paying job" And now,
he's trying to transfer to Berkeley ... go kid, go G

If you aren't a liberal at 20, you have no heart, and if you aren't a
conservative by 30, you have no brain...


For all its hoary years and overwork, STILL the very best all purpose
confession of an absolute inability to think (and concomitant indifference
thereto) as one could possibly hope for.

Berkeley is a great school, I believe tops here on the west coast for
business.
My son got accepted to both Berkeley and Stanford, so I asked him why he
decided on the later?
He said; "so Mom could do my laundry!"
