2. In the scheme of things

It all comes to nothing
In the scheme of things

Patterns emerge in nature’s dance
Numbers are born in the wheel of chance
Why do I see this?
What does it mean to me?

A grand design in all its majesty
Vibrating strings, quantum gravity
Why was I chosen?
What does it mean to me?
Tell me why!

5. GREAT addition to the lineup!

("Squatty Wanker" - LOL!)

[okaawhatever]

4. Amen to that nt

[Skittles]

6. I'd like to point out that nitwits like Bush and Bachmann are college-educated

education does NOT mean intelligence

[lastlib]

11. Bush got his education under affirmative action......

...for rich white kids who are grandsons of Yale trustees--graduated summa cum drunky.

Bachmann--must've gotten hers from a matchbook cover.

23. "summa cum drunky"

7. Nice, but Rachel got her Ph.D in Political Science from a British University?

I wonder how much American politics they taught there?

[Mr.Bill]

8. Rhodes Scholar, just like Bill Clinton.

Chelsea Clinton also graduated from Oxford with her Doctorate in International Relations recently.

I would also think a Ph.D in political science would cover more than just American politics.

[Ruby the Liberal]

9. Your response confuses me

Are you referring to US History or political ideology? As a US Citizen (and college graduate) she would have learned the former, and as a Rhodes Scholar to Oxford, the latter.

Which concerns you?

[JI7]

12. are you serious ?

[BrotherIvan]

26. The second funniest answer in this thread!

[True Blue Door]

10. Don't judge all college dropouts by those psychos.

[appalachiablue]

13. Good to know- the three drops. Knew about RM.

[project_bluebook]

14. Does that include graduates of Glenn Beck University?

[7962]

15. What is this, 8th grade? Other dropouts: Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Zuckerberg,

Russell Simmons, Oprah, etc etc
And I COULD list a bunch of multi-degreed people from Fox.
Meanwhile, Dick Cheney graduated from Yale, U of Wyoming, U of Wisconsin. And who gives a shit about WHAT he thinks!!!!!
In other words, it really means nothing.

[jtuck004]

17. Andrew Carnegie, George Carlin, others...

20. Thats a neat link! nt

[Triana]

18. Those are not news or political reporters.

"get your news from" is a key phrase in the graphic.

But by all means, do proceed.

[7962]

19. Ok, here ya go:

Here's just a few political reporters from them. They're plenty more listed on the website
Bill O'Reilly -
Alma mater Queen Mary University of London
Marist College (B.A.)
Boston University (M.A.)
Harvard University (M.P.A.

Heather Nauert
Pine Valley college
Mt Vernon College (B.A.)
Columbia University (M.J.)

Megyn Kelly
Syracuse University
Albany Law School (J.D.)

Harris Faulkner
University of California (B.A.)

Jennifer Griffin
Harvard University (B.A.)

Again, its nice to have a good education, but its no guarantee that you're going to be any better at reporting. Hell, I could put Mark Levin on the list and he's NUTS!!

[ANOIS]

29. Dick Cheney did not graduate from Yale.

He was either kicked out or flunked out. He also did not graduate from the University of Wisconsin, where he was going for his PhD.

[ffr]

16. Whaaaaaat!?

Hannity, Beck and Limbaugh dropped out. Coincidence?

There are alot of successful people who never went to college. No one ever said it was a prerequisite for a rich or meaningful life.

And if we're talking purely about success, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck have achieved that. But is it a coincidence that the three standard bearers for the far right are educationally ignorant?
<snip>

On Limbaugh:
Because of his parents' desire to see him attend college, he enrolled in Southeast Missouri State University but left the school after two semesters and one summer. According to his mother, "he flunked everything", and "he just didn't seem interested in anything except radio."

On Hannity:
Hannity dropped out of New York University and Adelphi University to pursue his broadcasting career.[5] During the late 1980s, Hannity was a general contractor[6] in Santa Barbara, California and also a bartender.

On Glenn Beck:
Glenn Beck is actually a college drop out. Now, I know we generally think that the people who make it onto TV are at least college graduates, even if it is just a Bachelors Degree. But, Glenn Beck dropped out of college after finish his first class. - DailyKOS.com
