That was something I admired, thought they didn't stop until much later, but I could be wrong.

Nope.

I'm sorry Owl..
For once I'm glad USM is poor

Well, Rice won't be getting any richer off me. I'm pulling the plug on all my giving. And that's been in six figures over the years. Rice is not the school that I attended any more.

WMR has to be rolling in his grave … it’s been sad watching higher education devolve … what a waste of (some) minds moving forward…

“times ….. they are a changing”

Well, couldn’t expect them to let people go free after they started letting in “those people” could you. Having the black, lesbian, immigrant give the speech makes sense. Lots of white guilt down there.

Note: I think Rice is a tremendous university, but it’s founding documents are disconcerting.

The Proud Boys were busy getting beat up by drag queens in NYC

Oh is that what branch of the military you served in the drag queen corp?

Assuredly none, but he certainly liked the sailor guy from the Village People.

The 2nd Infantry Division in Korea and the 11th Signal Brigade at Ft Huachuca, AZ. Before you google the 11th Sig and find out the HQ is at Ft Hood, TX, I served long before they moved to Hood in 2013.

I saw Jean-Pierre in person in Vegas. She's too classy for a guy like that.

My class (1969, freshman year 1965-66) was the first to pay tuition.
