o, here we are together on Easter Day.  Happy Easter dear friends from the Nom d’Aplomb Committee and a warm welcome to our new visitors.  Our objective this week is to attempt a little light-hearted humor in the face of the many poignant serious messages cited by our colleagues in the Mr. Wonderful organization.  A bit difficult to do, given the disheartening nature of those important posts but the indefatigable Miss I will nonetheless do her best to cheer up Poor, poor pitiful you and to spread today’s message of joy and hope.  Where to begin our search for a pseudonymous Diamond in the Rough?  Let’s pile into a Little Red Corvette and take it for a Spin through the entertaining noms of the past two weeks as Recorded for Posterity by an Anarchist or Packrat.  A little objectivity will come in handy when avoiding the Potholes and Cracks while simultaneously dealing with those who say Keep your tar out of our war.  It’s challenging to maintain any semblance of Internal Control when The Good, the Ad and the Ugly all are Playing fast and loose with the truth…

he Accreditation Blues once again Move this to the top of the Thursday night list as More Scams & Shams come to light.  We’d say that Horace’s Hit Man would have to get involved but Mr. Goodwrench would surely take that Out of Context and present it with the same conviction as The Moon is Made of Green Cheese.   Leaves us Scratchin’ the Noggin that so much can be Swept Under the Rug.  If you’re Buying a House? you may want to look under that rug and ask Where are the Beans?  Someone most assuredly spilled them along the way to Protests–R-Us, a favorite Car Talk shopping place for Soon to be “former” professors who Cannot a Ford to do it any other way.   At any rate, if you find them, please share because someone is asking Can Ah Keep ‘im?

his website has gained the reputation for having a certain Punkethos, which frankly is quite funny given the Strange Bedfellows who choose to regularly contribute here.  Concerned Parents, Grandparents, Disgusted Students, Young Republicans, democrats, libertarians, those with great faith in many religions and denominations and those with none, business people and Business Profs, librarians and Friends of the Library, artists and scholars, both Town and Gown without the divide, Scientists and Reporters, Italian Feast Fans and The Beat goes on… Is it GroupThink? as critics have argued?  Not hardly at this Virtual Think Tank.  A Social Psychologist would have a field day identifying the motivations for such disparate individuals coming together for the sole purpose of seeing an incompetent president Beat at his own Game.  Look at the bright side, maybe the seeds for such future Researchers will be planted in the new after-school high school programs!

ath probems again cause some consternation, even for the Queen of Spelling.  See when things Just Don’t Add Up everyone should be Concerned.  And Shelby Wonders why faculty, staff, and the community won’t Get in Line behind him.  Perhaps it’s because You, Mr. PREZ, are a liar and that Makes Me Want to PUC. (Miss I’s proof-reader added that after Miss I’s final review, oops!)  The Last Sad Prof to leave will join us in a toast to 4th Tier – Have a Beer. Although waiting this out for another year is a bitter e-mail pill to swallow, the directions taken at the last IHL board meeting were encouraging.  Googler Come Lately is said to be on a mission to help the IHL search for The Replacements who may actually Have a Clue.   Let’s be encouraged on this day of renewal that men and women of good faith on the IHL board will listen to our collective Voice in the Wilderness before all institutional memory of the Academy is lost.  With that thought in mind, this week’s winner, Institutional Amnesia may pick up the award certificate at the usual place.
