Mr. Wonderful's Citation de la Semaine: April 17
Permalink Closed

The Citation de la Semaine selection committee has reviewed the 587 posts made during the past 7 days and is pleased to present today's award to . . .


THE WINNNER: USM Sympathizer: " . . . at the best universities they do study stuff like Donne, history, and philosophy, and rich people pay lots of money to send their kids there to study. Those kids go on to be very successful, rich, loyal alumni, and excellent universities attract industry and generate economic growth. The "research triangle" in NC has already been mentioned; also worth mentioning are Stanford, Harvard (and the other universities in Boston), and Chicago (where they don't even have a football team!!! -- can you believe it?!?).  The best "technical" universities in the country (Cal Tech; MIT, etc) also usually have very solid programs in the humanities."


Congratulations, USM Sympathizer, for these sobering thoughts.

Wow; I am honored!  Now if I could just convince my wife to agree that I sometimes make helpful comments!

I echo the sentiments of "disgusted student" heartily, Sympathizer. Your comments are most helpful to this board. My experience as an ex- tells me, however, that the erudite among us frequently make less-than-helpful comments at home, so I have some sympathy for the wife, too.

Of course, you know why divorce is so expensive...because it is worth it.

Thanks for the compliments!  I should also just make clear that I was teasing about my wife.  She's a really wonderful person who puts up with a lot!
