How stupid can college get?

On January 3, 2012 By

Columbia, an Ivy League college, just announced a new course offering credit for participating in Occupy Wall Street demonstrations.

There is the old joke about a guy sitting in a bar complaining to the bartender,

“You know my wife has two assholes; one she sits on all day and the other she sends out to work every morning.”

Demographers predict that around 2040, non-whites will assume the combined majority in the United States.

What differences does race make?  Will there be a NEW kind of America?

For society, hopefully race matters little.

For business, maybe race means means something in product development and marketing.  Otherwise?

Warren Christopher died this week at age 85.

Warren Christopher was Jimmy Carter’s Secretary of State from 1977 – 1981.
