You get it.

and that is why you will have a highly paid and largely ceremonial position on my staff.

Please remember, I only want good news, no bad news about students or peasants or whatever the little people problems might come up.

Have a minion or someone take of those details. I'm a vision guy.

Every day on the right side of the dirt is a good day and I'll be happy to share that with you.

Clarification:

Are we talking boring run-of-the-mill-been-married-for-10-years same species-on-species stuff or really hot filthy dirty interspecies-mixed kink that you can only find on those tapes from Tijuana?

DM me with payment link and download info if the latter. My friend is doing research for a paper.

What an ignorant statement. Review the published work of UM professors and you’ll see the same. They are free to do what they want and to say what they want. I am also free to label them what they are and what they want to achieve, whether you like it or not. MENG

The fact that you think Dr. Shalala is a hack is all I need to know about your lack of knowledge on this topic. I get it, you think anyone to the left of Goldwater is a pinko commie, but join us here in reality. The faculty of the University, like any institution of higher learning will lean to the left, just like you won't find many liberals working on Wall Street. That said, you have to work with those people, and a neocon isn't the kind of person that would be able to navigate those waters.

Getting excited about anyone being President of the U is pointless until we hear who is interested in the job. The Admiral? Older man now who doesn't need a challenge like this. Dr. Rice? I've seen nothing to indicate she is ready to leave Stanford, she's been there long enough to put down roots and she is much older than most think. Echevarria? Intriguing, love what he's done, but he's nearly as old as the other two and again, does he want this job badly enough to work until he's close to 80? I think the school will target someone under 60 who has experience leading another school that emphasises research. I have no idea who is interested, but hope it is someone with Big 10 ties for obvious reasons.

Do yo know the story on that photo?

It was completely unplanned, she was not expecting to be handed a check.

Having been to many of these events, a planned and sanctioned event would be much more choreographed. Donna wouldn't be wearing jorts.

I was hoping she would have worn a micro mini skirt.






















Oh c'mon! Like I'm the only one wanting to see that action.

Not gonna lie, the "jorts" comments made me giggle.

I'm not debating the back story. Assuming what you said is true, and I have no reason to doubt you; at best, it's a complete lack of situational awareness on her end. I will say though that photo is her legacy in my mind and the minds of thousands of other alumni. Regardless of planned, choreographed, orchestrated, etc, it's a BAD look. Like really bad. It also illuminates to me at least, the lack of street smarts that oftentimes accompany academics. I realize you can pick that sentence apart, so you don't have to. I know it's a generalization and unfair in some cases. Again, the optics are horrible and I bring up the lack of street smarts because no one vetted this guy, or at least didn't report anything. I'm certain there are examples of people in their early 30's who have the capabilities to write 7 figure checks. However, no one seemed to stop and ask "Why is this person (who is not an alum) donating so much money? Who is this person? Why is he looking to kiss up to all the players? How did he acquire this money?" I get that those questions can come off as tacky when accepting a donation, but not nearly as tacky as being outed on national TV as being a school that accepts donations from a Ponzi sc;emer. Lastly, I'm aware that hindsight is 20/20. Looking at this photo after 2010 makes it really easy to say look at the greed.

I hope you're picking up what I'm putting down without feeling like I'm putting you down. Again, I know better than to argue with a tax attorney.

Good lord, between you and @Empirical Cane, my lunch is getting ready to make a rebound off the bottom of my stomach. The first visual of the cottage cheese legs in the micro mini skirt was bad enough, then I get to look at this crema de panocha and I'm feeling pretty queasy. I also was slightly confused because I never thought of Shalala as a "close shave" kinda gal. I figured she would be more "au natural." I guess you really do learn something new every day.

Have a wonderful afternoon!

No, it's all good. No disagreements from me.

And I agree with you on needing to look into the source of the money. I simply point out that at the time the photo was snapped, Donna was completely unprepared. The picture actually kinda captures her "WTF?" response to the donation.

The whole situation was awful. It could have only been made better if UM had shredded the check instead of cashing it. Then we could more appropriately say "see, we never bought into Nevin's game".

And I understand your points on that picture being her legacy. Though I would like to counterargue on the basis of truth/facts, you are pretty much accurate on that statement.

It's a donut. If you walked into a Krispy Kreme and saw that, your mouth would water.

Don't blame me because you've got a filthy mind.

I know better than to allow you a counterargument counselor. I sort of alluded to the truth/facts a bit in the street smarts portion of my comments. Lots of room for nuance and interpretation. The photo itself is just plain bad - that's the main point.

I'm not denying anything you mentioned above. You're damm right I would eat that donut at a Krispy Kreme. I'm going out on a limb here though and making a slight guess that maybe, jusy maaaaybe, you posted that delicious donut to represent something else. My mind is dirtier than SW 8Th Street before the cleaning crews arrive following Calle Ocho celebration.

And yeah, I need Jesus. You probably do too, but I don't want to be any more presumptuous than I already am being.

You can ask @Empirical Cane if he's not fawning over his new boy toy, my thoughts are as pure as the driven snow when I'm not lying.

Thought for a second that I was going to have to call you out.
