The big collge football and basketball factories have always been cesspools of corruption—but now the sports tail is wagging the university dog more than ever at any time of history. (If everything about the big football and basketball factories that could be known was actually known—a big if—and IF the NCAA followed it’s own rules—a much bigger if—would any football team be eligible for bowl games, or any basketball team eligible for the tournament? In a word, no.) Okay, I don’t like it, but I accept it. And I don’t like unqualified people getting into high-toned schools (social capital can be as important as monetary capital) only because of legacies. I also don’t like the dreaded “gentleman’s C” but that’s another story. But this HERE scandal right shocks me!

I just had a disturbingly funny thought…The Trump Presidential Library….It will probably share space with the Ripley’s Believe It Or Not Museum.

The first generation, Prescott Bush, did business with Hitler. In the middle of 1943.

That’s why it seems so silly to think that one ’ism or another is immune to affluenza.

Pelosi refused to impeach W, now she refuses to impeach Trump.
Perhaps old rich Pelosi needs to be impeached.

The scheme began to unravel when somebody photoshopped the head of a 400 pound student onto the body of a racehorse jockey…….
