Next, They Can Attend Classes In The Nude

The University of Chicago will now allow baby-faced children fresh out of Mommy and Daddy’s house to live in coed dorm rooms.

Gee, who could see anything going wrong with that decision? You just know that was based on their desire to foster a richer academic environment for the students, and of course we all know that college students always do the right thing. No college student has ever let their grades slip because of temptation. Ever.

Deja Vu, First Lady Meddling Behind Scenes In National Health Care Debate Edition

There is a hospital in a large American city that began patient dumping, a method of cherry picking patients, ushering the poor out the door to other hospitals so they could focus on patients with money or insurance. Sounds like something the media would have you believe is a Republican plan, right?

The city is Chicago. The hospital is the University of Chicago Medical Center. One of the top executives at the hospital and one of the driving forces behind the plan was Michelle Obama.

I wonder who they’ll dump patients on if they get their socialized national health care passed?

They Think They Are Outnumbered, One To Nine

The University of Chicago has a new organization on campus – Men In Power, a group formed to help males get ahead professionally.

In case you needed to hear it, there are protests coming out of the woodwork against this group.

In a stunningly ironic and hilarious section of the article, the author quotes from members of two of the nine women’s advocacy groups on campus regarding this group – the sole male advocacy group.

“Jessica Pan, president of Women in Business and a fourth-year student, questioned whether Men in Power's goals were being met by existing student groups."

"I'm not sure we really need another student organization that focuses on pre-professional development for men," Pan said, noting that, in just the area of business, there were five or six students groups that were gender-neutral."

(and yet she is completely comfortable with nine other organizations that focus on women)

Back to the article

"Similarly, Ali Feenstra, a third-year student and a member of the Feminist Majority, questioned Men in Power's utility."

"It's like starting 'white men in business' -- there's not really any purpose," she said.”

(wow, racist and sexist)

I am sure those two had no idea they sound so feeble, especially with most of the recent job losses hitting men hardest, and women earning most of the bachelor's and master's degrees currently.
