    And yet they are probably going to continue the fiction that Ole Miss and Mississippi State are actually two separate institutions.

    The argument for programs "pulling their financial weight" is why only PE is taught in redneck schools. You think Arithmetic pulls its own weight? When is the last time you went out and bought a ticket for one?

    Well, the chairman of the Republican Party is of African-American descent, so racism's solved!

    New GOP motto: If it ain't swinging from a tree, there's no racism to see!

    This proposal does not go far enough. All the historically black and women's colleges should be merged into one Giant Historically Black Female Robot!

    Perhaps the courts will have to step-in, but what I found somewhat troubling in the linked article is the way, the prose and quotes kept referring to the affected institutions as "black colleges".

    As Pareene points out and the article occasionally admits, they are "historically black colleges". To simply call them "black", sort of screams separate, but equal.

    I hate to agree with Haley Barbour on anything, but Hillman College students never seemed busy enough for me. I mean, how did Dwayne Wayne not fail out?

    I was 'hired' at the Moonie Times as an editorial intern, mainly because Wes Pruden liked the fact that I had been a Marine. When he found out that I was also a lefty, he sent me over to the foreign desk with the rest of the commies and Canadian expatriates.

    I remember he had a small statue of Robert E. Lee in his office. #outrage

    born to a mother attracted to men of the Third World

    To be attracted to men who worked for and earned their status (as opposed to those who were born directly into prosperity - if not money and power), is so un-American! She should've been attracted to the idle European royalty and brought us the crown, damn it!

    I think they complement each other: combine Beck's child rapist with Pruden's unAmerican mulatto, and you have the kind of sex-crazed mulatto stereotype so dear to the hearts of racists that it is a prime plot element in The Birth of a Nation. D. W. Griffith would be proud! #outrage

    I've got to side with Mr. Pruden. He clearly has more insight into the human condition.

    I remember back in the 60's, when grunge music was all the rage, my female companion and I were looking for a well-hung addition to our commune in Maui.

    At the time, Maui was less a destination for surfers and more a hideout for Black Panthers and surf Nazis. One night, while taking PCP, I said to the woman whom I was having casual sex with but was not married to, "Moonbeam, we're already harboring a lesbian Vietnamese baby, a pygmy Aborigine who only speaks French, a pair of criminally-insane Arab conjoined twins, and Adolf Hitler. What we need for our family-cum-terror cell is a big Black man to have sex with our children and the good white kids in the neighborhood."

    Obviously, Moonbeam was intrigued. All the abortions that she had had that year left her with an irrational hatred for Christianity and nothing would please her more than destroying America, the Greatest Nation That God Ever Conceived Of To Bless This Jesus-Loving Planet. So, we hijacked an El-Al flight.

    Now, the flight was full of rabbis who had professed their love for the Gospel and apologized thrice daily for killing Christ and all that weight meant that our plane, originally bound for Jerusalem, would not make it to Kenya City (being the capital of Kenya). So we threw the rabbis out the door, laughing and yelling "Allahu Akbar" as we tossed each one out. This was normal behavior for us drug-addled liberal hippie grungesters ever since the Vietnamese had devised a way to make The Gay into a virus.

    We had an easy time finding a Black man with a huge penis as Kenya is filled with them. In fact, the entire Nation of Africa is filled with Black men with large penises. We had offered to purchase him but were advised that Christian missionaries abolished slavery and that us, being liberals, were racist in thinking that Black people should be bought and sold.

    One of them said, "Haven't you even heard of the Rev. Jerry Falwell? You know - the man who singlehandedly made America a nation that does not judge people based on race, wealth, religion, or political affiliation!"

    We obviously could not permit this tolerance to spread from The Dark Continent so we killed all the Christian Missionaries, kidnapped the Black man, and came up with a carefully constructed scheme whereby our hippie grunge commune would bring into this world a Mulatto halfbreed, give him the education of a White person (thus ensuring that he was articulate), and indoctrinate him with our vicious Liberalism.

    We placed him with an ACORN coven of community organizers, who continued to feed him lies about how horrible America is and how the Poors deserve better. By sending him to Chicago, we were able to bribe the electorate at every turn from our DNC offices and our plan to make him President succeeded.

    Congratulations, Mr. Pruden, for discovering our plot. #outrage

    The family surname "Pruden" derives from England, where the traditional spelling of Produmme translates roughly into Saxon as "brain lack" or, more simply, "stupid." #outrage
