“Adam Scott, original author of the Bulls Balls article, did not respond when asked to comment on this decision, probably because his email now filters out messages with the phrase “Bulls Balls” in them.“ And he should, as he put up a picture of an imitators product…

Everyone should consider attending one of our upcoming free health screening events. After a simple fingerstick you will have a physician consultation and receive educational materials about any conditions for which you may be at risk. The whole process will only take 20 minutes, and no appointments are necessary. Please fast for…

Thank you Smile Politely for doing this interview.  International law professor Francis Boyle is an amazing person. I fully support his filed complaints against the Bush II administration for their crimes. If these people are not held responsible for their illegal actions, then current and future Administrations…

and the other half?  do I detect damning with faint praise?  But I get your drift about the six seats sold, although they will be competing for something with a leg up. Not that it would matter to one of the top, um, 20 or so, no…

I’m not sure what I mean, either.   I may be echoing the off-the-cuff sentiments of Dean Hurd: It really doesn’t matter if those last six seats were sold to the highest bidder. The six least-qualified people aren’t going to be competing for big dollars.    But…

I’m not quite sure what Rob’s somewhat cryptic comments indicate, but I’ll make a guess: the comment about 90 percent of UI grads not being up to snuff is bitterly sarcastic (and rightly so).  The point is that the ratings and rankings game is endemic in the…

@Stuart: Speaking as a U of I LAS grad, you learn me.  @UrbanaJake: I agree with your anger.  BUT, “They could NEVER be part of that 10 percent because they weren’t clouted.“ isn’t true.  And since we know you said it to make a point, I get…

Rob, You are Exhibit A in being a drone. No one cares—you are part of a scam. Blacks, Chicanos, others, didn’t get a fair shake. They could NEVER be part of that 10 percent because they weren’t clouted. Now they sit with no law degree and are…

When I was in law school (‘95-‘98) the big firms were interviewing ONLY the top 10% of each class. It said so in black & white on the little cards posted outside the career services office.   That’s 18 to 21 people.   Why? Because their studied…

Indeed, I may also say that some may prefer pop music but some may also like rock music—thus rock music is more alive and cool. Since then, we have lots of good rock bands here, then again we’ll not be compromised and may not be running for…
