Had the privilege of giving Col. Dick Cole a ride in my old T-6G at an Florida airshow in 2012. I gave him the controls once airborne, and he still has it. The mind of a warrior never forgets.

Please stop interfering in our attempts to be offended on someone else’s behalf. If you keep this up, we’ll have to post something in the comments about how we were just “putting this out there” and you “shouldn’t read anything into” this.

I used to be a good customer of think geek, but all their products are geared toward movies and games...

Most of the guys at my progressive college radio station had faces made for radio (me included).

Scarborough’s band, Morning Joe Music

College librarian here.

I’m gonna be the pedant here.

It’s a good thing for Mika she isn’t an intern. Joe’s intern flings don’t fare so well. Allegedly.

Also, just FYI, in the last two years the graduate school has cut humanities TA-ships in half, offering only a tiny percentage of incoming grad students any aid or assistantships--assistantships valued from $15,000-$16,500/year. Less than the goddamn table.

I was imagining old-growth redwood, hewn by a kindly master craftsman in the woods of northern california, using only antique hand tools and stains and varnishes distilled from traditional ingredients, and then lovingly polished to a rich, mirror like shine.

UNH’s football team isn’t even good! It wasn’t even the big draw (hockey was and is the “big” sport on campus)

For starters:

I agree with everything you said, except the last sentence. Athletics at UNH are not revenue-generating. Not even close. UNH football gets $5 million out of the athletic department’s $27.8 million annual budget. At the end of each year, the school has to report their athletic department’s expenses and revenues to the…

Also “The Internet Doesn’t Replace a Library”.

Hey! Former UNH library employee here too. I used to work with Bob. He was a sweet, kooky dude who used to love to give all the young kids book recommendations and he always remembered what we liked and what we didn’t like. I swear I mentioned Brideshead Revisited to him one time and he talked to me about Evelyn…

Yup. College/University libraries are seen as black holes of funding, sucking in money without giving anything in return. Never mind the value of the research resources and assistance that they provide to the students who need that kind of thing so they can graduate and become alums for the university to pump for…

Donald Trump, you’re his only hope (for a pardon.) No wonder he’s working so hard to elect Hair Führer.

As someone who works in an academic library and knows many of the fine people at the UNH library, I agree. He clearly did not want to give more than $100,000 to the library where he worked, and by earmarking that amount and not the rest, it’s clear to me that he understood that he could not control what the university…

New Hamsphire: the Alabama of New England (Maine is our Mississippi.) They just don’t value book learnin’.
