Where are we going and what’s with this hand-basket?
So, President Bush has stepped into the three white students vs University of Michigan undergraduate admissions policy controversy.
This prompted the U of M president Mary Sue Coleman to say, “It’s a very complicated system.” And, “President Bush has been misinformed.”
Someone else has called the system “complex.”
So, I ask, why has the U of M made the acceptance of students “complicated” and “complex?” Apparently, so complex, etc. that the huge staff of the President can’t figure out how it works, at least that’s the conclusion of Ms. Coleman.
Perhaps the admissions policy was made complex deliberately so the school can do anything they want to create the “diversity” on campus they have concluded is best for future leaders of the free world.
You know, give students a well rounded education as prescribed by officials.
Over the weekend FOX-TV interviewed a black professor from California who said (paraphrased), “all colleges and universities have a quota system of some kind.”
Ah well, did you ever get the feeling the world’s a tuxedo and you’re a pair of brown shoes?

On January 16 it was 4 degrees outside when I heard this commercial on WOMC, “It’s time to get away and there’s no better place than Chicago.” Right, go to a place where the temperature is lower and the chill factor is more extreme.

When the major grocery stores have to run full page ads of Pepsi and Coke to get customers there’s something wrong with our society. It certainly reflects on our eating habits.

Then there’s this from the 2003 Old Farmer’s Almanac: Esau Wood sawed wood. Esau Wood would saw wood! Oh, the wood Wood would saw! All the wood Esau Wood saw, Esau Wood would saw. In other words, all the wood Wood saw, Esau sought to saw.
One day, Wood’s wood-saw would saw no wood. Hence, all the wood Wood saw was the wood Wood would saw, if Wood’s wood-saw would saw wood. But because Wood could saw wood only with a wood-saw that would saw wood, Esau sought a saw that would saw wood.
Then Esau saw a saw saw as no other wood-saw would saw. In fact, of all the wood-saws Wood ever saw saw wood, Wood never saw a saw saw as the wood-saw Wood saw would saw.
And even I never saw a saw saw as the wood-daw Wood saw would saw until I saw Esau saw wood with the wood-saw Wood saw saw wood. Now Wood saws wood with the wood-saw Wood saw saw wood, so the story has a happy ending.

If you find yourself digging a hole the first thing to do is stop digging. And, why isn’t there mouse-flavored cat food?
Do nothing in great haste, except catching fleas and running from a mad dog.
