University of Phoenix being sued?

Great! It's about time people learned about these false front "schools of learning". The only thing you'll learn is how to spend your money on a worthless paper claiming you've graduated from a correspondence school. Just because it has a brick and mortar building with grounds and a parking lot, it's still a shyster correspondence school run out of somebody's closet in East Gary, Indiana.

As authentic colleges and universities become mere diploma mills, spewing out vaguely trained and mostly ignorant graduates as cattle headed up to the killing room floors, these paper schools promise as much, yet deliver even less.

"Oh, a correspondence degree in Chemical Engineering? We have a job in Housekeeping for you!"

Wise up, people, that paper is as worthless as Confederate dollar bills.

Sing that song the Election Blues

When is the great uninformed, gap-toothed yokel voter going to see the truth in our broken political system? It's broken! It can't be fixed. People elected the O because they truly wanted a change from politics as usual. What they got was a Chicago politician.

There's no difference in the 2 major parties. One is tax and spend, the other spend then tax. We are a nation of Liberals and Conservatives, and not much in between. The middle of the road and fence sitters are the ones who can make an election difference, but choose to worry about their own miserable lives. And why not? The quality of everyone's but the super-rich is degrading, as is our country's false supremacy as the Number One bad ass on the block. Who cares?

It's supposed to be about the quality of life, not the quantity of money.

Ya say ya want a revolution, well ya know, ya better change your head...

Re: Mayor’s gun logic badly flawed: From a Portland Tribune story about the mayor and city gun-control efforts...

Oh for cryin' out loud! What logic is involved here? Ex Post Facto? Guns have been around this country since the "shot heard 'round the world".

There's a billion guns out there. Another Nanny Law isn't going to stop criminals from finding guns, stealing guns, buying guns, selling guns, or using guns.

It's like the old British Constable joke: "Stop in the name of the Law! Stop, or I'll say Stop again!"

Yeah, just this day, I'm pedaling back from the library during "rush hour", on a side road that everyone else is using to escape the traffic, thru a quiet residential street. A two way stop sign, I stop. A p/u truck is waiting to turn, I wave him on to continue his turn. Halfway thru his turn some maroon on his bike blows thru my stop sign and almost hits the truck, then yells at the guy!

Aplomb! What an idiot! This typical ass-breath bicyclist with his own set of rules totally ignoring safety and the Vehicle Rules of the Road...Everyone would have laughed at the instant karmic justice if the truck had simply flattened this butthead, so everyone could have gone on their way. Lesson learned.

As it was, the truck driver let it go, and as he passed in front of me, offered me a smile and a peace sign....That's cool, but ya know what? I was just obeying the rules of the road, and my #1 rule of Persuasion- I'm persuaded on my bicycle: I'm the smallest fish in the pond, and I don't have a chance against Buicks...much less trucks!
