Oh. My. Goodness.

I don't think I've ever read anything this person has written in the past, but how hard was she dropped on her head as a child? Seriously?! Comparing a large bankrupt corporation to the education system??

I wonder if she looks at her fruit basket and wonders why the red oranges don't taste or feel a thing like the orange oranges.

Basically describes every NASCAR site out there.

One thing that I think should be corrected on your headline...it should read.

"Rush Limbaugh gets something right!!!" You would get 100's more to read it...since few people believe this is possible.

As far as I don't like Ann Coulter, and I think she's a b***h deserving of waterboarding, I think the entire article is spot on.

I don't know how I feel about him asking Rick Wagoner to resign. However, I think Ann brings some very respectable points.

Particularly this line:
I hate Coulter, but this is one article I completely agree with.

Side note: for a single paragraph in an entirely respectable article based on an April Fool's joke that *many* people fell for, I think it's overkill to skewer her over this.

No, no, no. Don't you see? She didn't really fall for it.

She was just counting on her audience falling for it.

Personally, I think she should be skewered over being...

Bwahaha--Ann Coulter. What a joke.

As a student at Princeton, I wholly believe that Tilghman and her crew should pack up and leave, not on the Peter Singer argument that Coulter uses as a red herring, but rather that Princeton is actually failing because of the restrictions placed on student freedoms and liberal thinking. Princeton is quite the conservative hotbed, just look at Prof. Robert P. George and his Catholic crew/cult on campus.

I see no validity to her argument--what does being a utilitarian have to do with being unfit to teach? Moral views, like religions, all have certain flaws or weaknesses, but I can completely see Coulter being one to banish all Jews/athiests/agnostics/Muslims from teaching or government position, as she is willing to eliminate any dissenting moral thoughts on what exactly is moral.

Now, she mentions Singer's view on black liberation. The only reason Limbaugh can't talk about blacks in regards to apes is because, frankly, he is a racist a*****e who is doing nothing to treat blacks with dignity and respect and only continues to breed racist stereotypes:


Now, for the kicker to the argument--how exactly does "moral bankruptcy" compare to the utterly disappointing losses in the auto industry? How do you even begin to define "moral bankruptcy", especially when Princeton is still churning out plenty of brilliant minds? (Although, I'm fairly sick and tired of so many policies--grade deflation being one of them)

Now, in terms of education in general, I have no idea what Coulter was talking about when referring to planning jihads in high school. My public high school was frankly, quite s**tty. Teen pregnancies everywhere, combined with a high poverty rate to start with is not a good combination. Condoms would've helped, but being one of the few counties that constantly votes Republican (I lived 3 minutes from 7-8 churches, 55min from a synagogue), there was no way that would have happened.

Schools are failing because high schoolers truly don't know what they want in life--the most successful students at Princeton are the ones who have been focusing on some aspect of life for a tremendous amount of time, such as this one senior who has been working on his thesis since high school. Or take the programming wizards, humanities concentrators, or the mathematicians on campus--they all have fallen for something. And it doesn't have to be just studies--Princeton has made fashion models and designers, musicians and artists alike, as well as the general political or wall-street toolbag. Something has to get the attention of these high schoolers, and that's why so much money has been pumped into extracurriculars. Private schools have students raised on specific interests and skills, public school has scumbags and meth-heads. That's why so public schools have been spending so much--they're just that behind.

I personally believe that the auto companies should be left alone to wither, but America treasures its legacies, and is willing to foot the tremendous bill to keep its auto legacy alive. The restructuring at GM must have occurred--Wagoner's continued poor performance is nothing we would want to keep, and GM has already failed to impress since the last big loan in December, and thus requires much stricter goverment oversight than before, if we're going to continue to lend them money. However, this is not to compare at all with educational systems--the government has bought a stake for the sole purpose of receiving benefits from us. I would much rather not have to deal with ROTC on campus, or signing up for the selective service to get the meager amount in Federal Aid that is included in my also meager finAid package (last year, it was $2600 + $3000 of which I had to work a campus job for). But, the government wants access to the brightest minds, so what can I say? They're getting a hell of a great deal out of it--they hired a (different) programming genius last summer for consulting on a fairly classified project, and at a great price.
The auto companies should be as such--now that our stake in it is greater, we should be able to demand more, and I see no flaws with letting a failed CEO leave.



As you can see, I'm still on a writing spree from my paper last night...

It would be a shame if she was abducted and sealed into a basement somewhere in the wilds of Idaho.

Just saying. I pray she falls permanently off the radar very soon.

Sorry... but there doesn't seem to be anything "respectable" about any article this woman writes. Its funny that she uses education reform too since one of the first places most conservatives want to cut funding to is education. The Coultier high-horse double standard strikes again.
