If you had any doubt you're in the right place

There was this:

This is Awesome

The whip-smart editorial board at the Yale Record, the university’s humor magazine, did NOT endorse Hillary Clinton. They did make a statement explaining their decision to definitely, positively, in no way endorse the “most qualified presidential candidate in modern history”:

And then this comment:

Yeah, Go Yale.

Y’a know what these students/parents have to pay per year?

The total cost of attendance at Yale for 2016-2017 is $68,175, which includes tuition ($49,480), room ($8,520), board ($6,650), and books and personal expenses ($3,525).

One hell of an “non-endorsement” from the 0.0001 percent and their spawn.

What’s wrong with you?

What’s happened to this place?

Cogent and thoughtful response comments on the link.

Have been told I have no sense of humor. Maybe they're right.

endowment.

I have a quick solution for all that money going to waste. Put Larry Summers back in charge of it. It will be gone in no time.

yet. That almost always happen to me if I fall a bit out of line.

To be "fair," I had some college offers that made it cheaper to go to Ivies than to some state schools. But I ended up getting the best offer from Kentucky. But that was decades ago, I don't think any of them provide financial aid like they used to.

is definitely here. Unlike others I go over to ToS once and a while.

It's oh so interesting.

How is that over the past 3 years all the intelligent progressives and great writers have left?

Curious minds are curious...

Nancy: And swim the English Channel?
Prof: No. No. To ancient Greece where burning Sapho stood beside the wine dark sea. Wa de do da! Nancy, I’ve invented a time machine!

We need a big centralized blog like that for great and/or progressive writing. But they made it into an echo chamber. This place is having growing pains. I don't think the others have been as successful as here even, but we may not have found the answer yet.

The best stuff over there is the nonpolitical stuff. But even some of that gets sullied in the comments by people who have been allowed in to diss anyone they don't like.
