    The reason why any of these medical schools are considered elite medical institutions has nothing to do with their students and their MCAT score. Medical students are secondary concern to institutions like Harvard, Yale and Stanford. They care about grant money, public or private, pure and simple. High profile faculties bring in more research money, which is more indirect cost for Harvard and Yale to spend on who knows what. At the same time high profile faculties who are considered experts in their fields will be recruited to serve as consultants for various companies. You want outside experts to review and monitor the data from the latest heart disease drug trial? The same experts also teach at these schools. You would expect these faculties to remain neutral, or even insert a disclaimer into their lectures but unfortunately that's just not done, especially if the faculty was involved in the research and development of the drug.

    This idiocy has inspired me. I'm going to start an audition show called AMERICAN HACK, in which young Americans "try out" for the Republican Party. The judges will be Rush, Hannity, Palin and Simon Cowell. It will be hosted by Mitch McConnell. Who's with me?

    These stupid, awful videos are making me crazy instead of making me laugh with abandon--which is so, so wrong--and as a consequence, I am simply going to point out that the last dude does not identify himself as "Adam J. Schmidt."

    @leonleonleon: Sure, I watched them. You're not mocking "stupid thinking". You're simply lampooning dorks, which is fun and fine by me.


    But there's nothing to these videos at all. No "stupid thinking", just a bunch of young eager beavers with lo-fi videos. I was expecting more.


    All this contempt and knee-jerk snickering at Republicans would be tolerable if it were funny.


    Why don't you save it for your book club meetings at Connecticut Muffin?

    Interesting causality, Chris Hall. I suppose when you take a shit, it causes you to eat, right? Go ask the professor from - did I get this right ? - "Hem Line University" for the populations were for those counties, and you'll discover they're not at parity. It's sort of like saying the murder rate for New York County (home to Manhattan) is x times greater than the murder rate for Bumfuck County Georgia, without noting that one is home to 7 million people, while the other is home to you, Ellie Mae, and Jethro.


    With deeply analytical minds such as this, there's no wonder the country's in the shape it's in.

    @BadUncle: thank you buncle! i was wondering how it was that his awesome logic skills in addition to his technology expertise left him without the ability to question where exactly those statistics come from!!! did the professor from "Hem Line" (is that even a real place?) also talk about some other things like the rate of unemployment? or other important shit like that?!?!?!

    He actually went to my high school in Cincinnati. At one point in 2003, he stood on top of a cafeteria table and tried to start a, "Bomb Saddam!" chant. Someone thew a bottle of "Tahitian Treat" and knocked him on the ground.
