  1. Mitch, both you and I have had experiences with a Associate Professor from the UofM that put the idea that academic credentials make the man to the torch.

    It’s a proven fact that many, if not all, US institutions of higher learning employ people with borderline personalities, and many that are just not very smart to begin with.

    In fact, if there is an argument to be made that academic degrees are becoming substantially less indicative of a person’s fitness for a particular vocation, and there is, it is most effectively made by the very people whose job it is to award them.

    Of course, that is not to say that people wishing to enter a career in science and technology do not need higher education, but as the computer related industry has so vividly evidenced, a BS is not absolutely necessary even there.

  2. Of course there is the 2.2 billion dollar deficit that Mr. Walker created. It would seem you can’t cut taxes permanently without cutting spending permanently.

  3. The lesson Mark Dayton teaches us is that you can never raise taxes enough to cover government spending, either.

  4. Yea, Emery and you hero Barackus Obamanuns I, who supposedly attended Hahvahd and Columbia, has never proven that he graduated, either! In fact, the Democrap party has spent over $2 million per year to keep his transcripts sealed. It’s real funny, not to mention hypocritical, that you lefties find Walker’s lack of a degree to be a class a felony. So, let’s not even start on the financial black hole that the Liar/Blamer and Golfer in Chief has put this country in or the fact that he’s determined to kill this country by any means necessary before he gets his walking papers! Sheeesh!

  5. Bosshoss, Obama graduated cum laude from Harvard Law. He also passed the Illinois bar on the first go.
    The real mystery is how he managed to transfer from a third-tier college (Occidental) to a Harvard feeder school (Columbia). Obama admits he was a “so-so” student at Occidental.

  6. I much prefer a conservative pragmatist such as John Kasich. He is a reasonable man, but he is not an ideologue. I would be happy to have him as president. He would take the congress he was given and make the best legislation he could with it. I hope there’s room for him in the already crowded GOP field.

  7. Wait-Sheila Jackson Lee graduated from Yale? I figured her too dumb to even graduate high school. Didn’t know they had Affirmative Action for grading.

  8. “I much prefer a conservative pragmatist such as John Kasich.”
    Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice.
    I wonder why our federal government uses the vocabulary of rights rather than the vocabulary of freedom?

  9. I would guess that neither Waker nor Kasich will be the GOP nominee. Perhaps the short list for VP?

  10. Swiftee do you still run the twitter account for profes sorry Gleasons prolapse anus?

  11. POD I wish I could take credit for that, but no, it’s not me. I no longer have any Twitter accounts. It’s a New Years resolution I’m finding pretty easy to keep.

  12. Remember when upstanding, erudite, well-informed, smarter than the mere peasant, lefties had bumper stickers on the backs of their Subaru’s that noted that the then President, a graduate of both Yale and Harvard, was the idiot some village in Texas was missing? Yet the current occupants school record is largely unknown – he attended a prep school for the privileged children of Hawaii where his biggest concern was excess bench time on the basketball court and scoring weed for the choom gang; then by his own admission was a so-so student at Occidental, then Columbia (where no one remembers him) then Harvard Law where he was the only editor of the Law Review to not publish anything – and yet the Left (and many in the pundit Right) consider him to be the smartest man ever to hold the office.
    Remember when Sarah Palin was a candidate for Vice President it was noted that while she had a college degree, it was from some directional state school, essentially the equivalent of a high school with ash trays, so she couldn’t possibly be one heart beat away from the Presidency. Yet our current Vice President is a gaffe-tastic bigot whom the regime chooses to keep buried 500 feet below the undisclosed location Dick Cheney occupied. And when allowed out for sunlight inevitably embarrasses himself, the regime and our nation.
    I can totally see why the Democrat Party Dominated Media Culture is worried about Scott Walkers lack of a degree.
    PS: Note to POD – One would think you in particular wouldn’t ever have need to have God ‘damn’ anything for you.

  13. Seflores, you missed something in your story. Those Subarus had (a) visible emissions and (b) multiple pro-environment bumper stickers like “Love your mother” with a picture of our planet.

    Just tryin’ to be helpful. :^)
