>>I've always been amused at how incredibly talented right-wing extremists are at shooting themselves in the foot. If they would all just shut up, they'd have far more support than they do now.
You make the doltish if not dynamic duo. Between the two of you there has got to be the makings of half a brain. Now just which one you is the ventriloquist?
>>But they are so infernally fond of the sound of their own voices that they keep blathering on, and will continue to blather on until every reasonable, intelligent person sees them for the fools they are.
Well that certainly excludes you, but at least you seem to know yourself.
Hey BlowsBlows, look at this hoot, a college dedicated to those incapable of knowledge. You should secure a full professorship. Go Hawgs!!!:

UA plans to start Clinton College
FAYETTEVILLE (AP) -- Officials of the University of Arkansas say they hope
to create a new college, the William Jefferson Clinton College of Public Policy,
with funds left over from an appropriation for the Clinton Presidential Library.
B. Alan Sugg, president of the university system, says the Clinton College will be
a free-standing school -- a so-called ''college without walls'' -- where
graduate-level students can earn a master's degree while performing public
service.
Sugg told the Northwest Arkansas Times that the new college is being
coordinated by the flagship campus at Fayetteville along with the University of
Arkansas at Little Rock and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences,
also at Little Rock.
University officials say the college must first be approved by legislators. They say
it would be funded with $1.1 million originally appropriated for salaries at the
presidential library at Little Rock, but never used.
The $1.1 million transfer of funds surfaced last week as the UA system's plans
were being formulated for proposed higher education funding.
''This is an effort to move the leftover funds, given to the Clinton Library, which
was in the UA-Fayetteville budget, to a separate, free-standing unit in the UA
system (The Clinton Public Policy College),'' said Pat Torvestad, director of
planning and development for the UA system's office.
The university has requested establishment of 16 full-time positions in the
1999-2000 Higher Education funding budget that will be considered by
lawmakers during the legislative session that begins in January. The positions
would be funded with the $1.1 million carryover from the presidential library
appropriation for the 1997-98 biennium.
The proposal calls for a dean for the new college, to be paid from $152,610 to
$156,884; five distinguished professors, each to be paid $129,320 to $132,941;
two professors at $110,225 to $113,312 each; a project-program director, at
$65,856 to $67,701; four instructors, at $62,391-$64,138 each; and three
administrators to be paid from $38,000 to $61,000.
On the Fayetteville campus, a committee of five has been working on the Clinton
College concept, Torvestad said. Similar committees on both the UA-Little Rock
and UAMS campuses also are working on the Clinton College program,
Torvestad said.
