  1. You sound like a UofH bschool grad. As if those are the only two options....
  2. Dude is out to lunch. He (KUHF interview) wants to make the UofH a top 50 B-school within so many years and top 25 sometime after that (can't remember the exact time frame). Why is he misguided? MBA (full-time) programs are waning, and the UofH simply doesn't have the wherewithal to compete with the big guns. Are they an ok to good school? Probably. But to espouse a top 25 ranking? Bullshit. It's akin to attempting to make a moderately talented high school athlete a top college/pro athlete. Unrealistic and shows a lack of judgment. UofH is a regional school (at best). It probably has shed it's Cougar High/commuter school image but top 25 in the US? Really? Go for something more realistic. Provide a good education to locals and produce competent business professionals. You want top 25? Go to UT. He just wants to raise some money then hightail it to a better gig. Such is the fate of UofH.
  3. Wrong. That looks like pickled herring, which is awesome.
  4. And to add, the Univ. of Illinois is a pretty good school. Really good, as a matter of fact. But I still hate the Illini.
  5. Look, neg me if you want, but "vows" don't mean shit. Meaning, if you want to uphold them you will. If you're looking for a reason to violate them, you will. It's up to you. Not the "vows". Just be a stand-up human being. Don't blindly follow "vows". But don't use that as an excuse/reason to break them, either. Think for yourself. Be an adult.
  6. Third time's a charm. Or so I've heard.
  7. Thanks. Yeah, it's pretty easy if you have an IQ > room temp. (sorry aggy)
  8. And wait, there's more! This was produced by Mike Ness of Social Distortion!
  9. If you're into music majors, then UNT is the better choice. God help them, though.
  10. In an argument that has taken aback at least one legal scholar. Trump’s attorneys claim that the Constitution prohibits Congress from enacting any legislation that pertains to a sitting president’s finances." I'll take "Things that show how most attorneys are very large pieces of human shit" for $400, Alex.
  11. Quite a bit of overlap? Almost 100% overlap. And the evangelitards are, as always today, in the middle of it.
  12. Mueller is not so much analytical as he is a loyal, company man. He performed his job admirably, adhering with great discipline to the mandate he was given. He is not, however, a leader. He clearly did not view his role as anything more than laying out facts (as he saw them): little to no (legal) conclusions, no recommendations, no opinions. Was this the right thing to do? Maybe history will laud him for this approach. The people need to act. We have all the information we need to fix this. Sady, the evangelica/deplorables refuse to act. Fuck them.
  13. Good luck to all involved. Adults have the right to make their own decisions, no matter how bad they may be.
  14. Good lord, yes it matters. Even if not a single person changed their mind it still matters.
  15. What? Of course he did or did not interview the guy. But that doesn't mean Mueller should necessarily answer whether he did. Don't you see that?
  16. Um, I got a pretty clear feeling that it applied to Trump.
  17. What did you expect? This is how the game is played, and Mueller is doing a credible job, imo. Trump is slime. Everyone who can see and think for themselves knows this. Mueller's testimony won't change any minds or provide any smoking guns. Again, imo.
  18. But was it "excessive" speeding? Don't know what qualifies as excessive, but it's probably more than just 6 over in a 55 zone.
  19. Well yeah, but the grandfather is still full of shit.
  20. Willie is both about as Texan as you can get and about as anti-Texan as you can get.
  21. Come on, of course they aren't evil. It's thinking like this (assuming you think they are evil) that causes irreparable rifts. They are misguided, as is the GOP. They don't think for themselves, they are scared of what they (white/elderly/lacking a college degree) might lose in the future. They desperately need a scapegoat. They engage in extreme confirmation bias. In short, they are average humans.
  22. Nothing against Texas Fight, but the Eyes of Texas is the real deal. Still sends shivers down my spine. And it always will, til Gabriel blows his horn.
  23. Ok, last time I darken this doorstep (for a bit, anyway). When my wife was getting her master's, she had a prof (big time) who was married to a guy (another big time prof, one of the first historians who use statistics and was elected to the NAS) and we were at a gathering at their place, they had a piano (kind of Woody Allen-ish) ,and I noticed that the sheet music was Scarlatti. This has become possibly my favorite classical music after Bach.
