...Karl Rove would be a supporter now!

Pretty good line. I would say it's better than "throw them out at 28,000 ft and try them on the ground."
In fact, it's much better.

Nice line, yes. And sure, better than Newt's. Just goes to show being a regular on Bill Maher's talk show is better for this line of business than, say, earning a PhD, or being in charge of a chamber of Congress (like Newt did, in case you miss my parallel).

He got a PhD from Tulane, Tecs!

Incidentally, Leibniz Univ. Hannover is almost as beautiful a campus as Tulane's.

That is saying something.

Tulane is across the street from Audubon Park, which is absolutely glorious.

My office window in Gibson Hall overlooked that blessed place.

As I told you, I only been in Nawlins once--right after I popped a disc, and it was hurting like crazy, so I was in no mood for BS. All I remember from that godforsaken place is some tacky street with all sorts of dinky eateries (something like "Bourbon Street", perhaps?). I didn't eat anything, just bought a couple of bananas from a dime store. Then went to an outdoor bar of some sort, where they served some shitty drink--cheap vodka smothered in Red #5 Cool Aid. After which I walked to some embankment, there was some big, muddy river flowing by. OK, that's it. Did I get in all the sights?

Ce n'est pas Mozart, man.

Seems you missed the orthopedic ward at Tulane Medical Center.

They would've fixed you right up.

How do you fix a slipped disk? Perhaps, with a lot of vodka--but they can't even get that one right in Nawlins.

At any rate, speaking of Newt: he got a Ph.D. in modern European history from Tulane University in New Orleans in 1971. His dissertation topic was titled "Belgian Education Policy in the Congo: 1945-1960." Fascinating topic, fer sure.

Also, Gingrich taught history at the University of West Georgia (then called West Georgia College) in Carrollton, Georgia, from 1970 to 1978. What's that? Is it better than Emily Dickinson University?
