Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:<\/p>\n
A colleague at work is reliably liberal. I can depend on him for the latest liberal spin on any issue.<\/p>\n
The reason people are upset about the high cost of education is: students are greedy. They expect to retire too early, which makes the cost of education seem like a bad investment. If they were willing to work until 70 or later, then the education investment would pay off.<\/p>\n
In completely unrelated news, William Mitchell Gay College of Law is offering buy-out packages to tenured law professors. Not because the school is bloated and has lost sight of its core mission in a time of declining enrollments when most of its graduates can\u2019t find work, but purely as an altruistic measure out of the goodness of their hearts. No word on whether they\u2019re cutting diversity administrators. But they did change the school mission from teaching law to offering a degree in practical wisdom, no doubt to defend against false advertising claims.<\/p>\n
In Wonderland, the White Queen advised Alice to practice believing impossible things. Some people don\u2019t need practice, they\u2019re Minnesota liberals.<\/p>\n
