This sounds like my old dean. My research partner and I churned out 25 or so articles in the four years of her tenure. Her assessment was that until we had a book, our research was trash.

It is too cute for his style. He’d prefer to flagrantly violate the constitution and dare the courts to stop him.

Imagine being so dim that you brag to the world that the height of your intellectual achievements was passing a dementia screening.

I remember seeing several stones with nothing but “Baby” in a family plot as a kid. My dad simply said his grandparents didn’t even name some of their kids because they died too soon. How quickly people “forget” the history so close to them…

The president thinks great leaders expand their nation’s territories, so he threatens annexation of our allies’ lands. The president thinks great leaders build grand palaces, so he illegally destroys the east wing for his Versailles. The word that describes that kind of leader that starts with “A.”

A bald, aging public health scholar runs across Excelsior Boulevard in the West Maka Ska neighborhood of Minneapolis with a case of Grain Belt beer slung across his right shoulder, as the sun slowly sinks in the autumn sky.

It’s a well established fact that pop music obtained perfection with New Order’s “Substance” compilation in 1987.

That’s a hill I’ll die on.

I’m not sure of who’s doing the grift here, or who they’re trying rip off.

Or just a “control variable.” Lots of layers to that…

Half of Minnesota thinks the same thing about Minneapolis. I’m sure it’s the same in every state and their major metro areas…
