Busted!

More people should hold these elitist, leftist universities' feet to the fire.

TRENTON, New Jersey (AP) -- The family that in 1961 made one of the biggest donations in the history of academia to Princeton University wants its money back. Relatives of Charles S. and Marie Robertson said the couple wanted their gift to be spent solely to educate graduate students for careers in government, especially as diplomats for the United States. But the family now says the university has not churned out many diplomats and large portions of the gift -- now worth more than US$750 million (euro570 million) -- have been used for other purposes. The family wants to take the money back so it can give it to a school that will carry out its mission.

Tonto said...: Of course they are going to court to keep it...their lawyer is saying... the law of gifts is you can do with it as you please...legally a gift has no strings...however if there was a written agreement then the lawyer is saying...oh that...well that's ambiguous that line could mean anything...even pottery maker majors could one day be diplomats who is really to say??? It's all unclear so don't blame us.; 10:15 PM

Results are NOT to be examined.

Only intentions.

As long as the school INTENDED to graduate a horde of Diplomats, they should be alright, and should even be eligible for additional donations, whether they actually succeeded in graduating any Diplomats or not.

I really hope that Princeton gets to keep the money.

After all, "the Poor" get to keep all my Tax money that has been spent on the "War on Poverty."

What's good for the Goose, and all...; 10:52 PM

25 Immutable Truths About Liberals

Over the years I've been writing this blog, I've been throwing out little self-evident truths that seem to have no exceptions that prove the rule. I've made a list of some of them and will add to it as I remember them or make up more. Most of this list I've come up with myself. A few I've borrowed from others.

1. Always expect the worst from a liberal and you will never be surprised.

2. Never try to reason with a liberal. They disregard any evidence that conflicts with their beliefs.

3. You can always tell what liberals are up to by what they accuse conservatives of doing.

4. Liberals don't debate, they argue.

5. The only standards liberals have are double standards.

6. Liberals feel, conservatives think.

7. Whenever you don't understand a liberal's motives, just look for the money.

8. Liberals cannot be embarrassed. They lack the gene to blush.

9. The Liberal Golden Rule is, "Do unto others but scream bloody murder if they do unto you."

10. Liberals don't have leaders, they have demi-gods.

11. There are no honest liberals. If they were honest -- especially to themselves -- they would be conservatives.

12. A liberal's business is nobody's business, but everyone's business is a liberal's business.

13. Liberals have an inflated sense of self-worth. They are like house flies that criticize the air-worthiness of a Stealth fighter. (Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, ad infinitum are morons.)

14. Liberals lack a sixth sense that conservatives have in abundance -- common sense.

15. Liberals never stop hating.

16. There are only two types of liberals -- the deceivers and the deceived. The difficulty is telling them apart.

17. Every time liberals get on their high horse, they get bucked off.

18. Liberal programs are so wonderful that they have to be forced on people.

19. Liberals always choke on their own medicine.

20. When given a moral choice, liberals always come down on the wrong side of the fence.

21. The only way liberals can build themselves up is by tearing others down.

22. Liberals not only refuse to learn from their mistakes, they refuse to admit them.

23. Liberals have only two political positions -- blind devotion and blind hatred.

24. Liberals are incapable of attacking the message, so they always attack the messenger.

25. Liberal diversity is only skin deep.
