Exactly. Pitt, Penn State, and Temple would all go back to being private universities.

Ha. Nothing’s as ridiculous as Penn State New Kensington.

Right. And so does the state. If it weren’t for all the universities, the medical services provided to the insanely old population, and all the boondoggles set up by the state to fund the state, Pennsylvania would simply be an extension of West Virginia with Philadelphia trapped in a terrible case of Stockholm…

The exemption was written into law, but already existed. The Commonwealth universities refusal to make public their financial records has always been the case.

It’s the same thing, regardless of the order in which you phrase it.

And, sorry, Diana, I enjoy your actual journalism as much as I enjoy the dick jokes on other posts, but this is just factually incorrect:

It’s more than just the law, though. Those four universities are under the Commonwealth System of Higher Education, and, as such, function essentially as private institutions that receive a percentage of public funding. They exist in conjunction with, but separate from, the Pennsylvania State System of Higher…

This is progress, of a sort.

Jeez. It’s a good thing I wrote “Nevada” and not “Las Vegas”, isn’t it?

Nary a mention of legal prostitution. I foresee a new boom of brothels in Nevada when it becomes a thing for Raiders’ fans to hire a prostitute to dress up like Philip Rivers.

Gopher broke.

I refer you to the Official Right Wing Hyper-Religious textbook, which, for your benefit, I’ll reproduce in full:

Blah, blah, blah. This is just more thoughtful analysis based on fact.

Speaking of firsts, the first song I ever pulled up on the IPod for my first child to hear was “Rusholme Ruffians”.

It’s been awhile. I’m going to have to fire it up on the IPod tomorrow and play me a song that everyone knows.

Not one song is filler on that album.

That is one nerdy burn. Good work in the spice mines today.

Hypothetical question:

Yeah. It’s a long shot.
