- The “Trump Blog” is well worth reading. Today’s entry is from the Donald’s “Chief Learning Officer”, who has a ten point plan for reforming higher education that made me so happy I had to do the mambo with the cat for a while. Special points for using the phrase “just in time”, although #10 is really the best after you’ve read the first 9.
- I remembered today how much I liked Borges’ Library of Babel.
- Here, have lots and lots of mushroom cloud pictures.
- Since the Japanese have concreted over their entire nation with pork-barrel corruption construction projects, it’s time for the natural progression to blowing cash on a useless new Concorde.
- In smaller, more insidious aircraft news, they’re making evil animatronic birds to spy on us.
- ¡Cuidado! ¡Hay llamas!
- Mulder, watch out! ROGUE SQUIRREL!
A penny saved is a penny.

Oh my god, it’s Roger Schank! He was a bigwig/wingnut at Northwestern when I was there. Read about his horrors here, by the Robot Wisdom guy, who used to work for Schank.

The one that broke me was his assertion that you get to graduate if you amass a certain number of credits. WOULD THAT THIS WERE TRUE!

yikes!
so according to donald, we could make the university a vocational training experience. maybe corporations could determine if an individual has become proficient in class x and can determine if s/he passes the class. too bad for critical thinking and discourse, maybe we could give no child left behind tests to determine if the university professor is worthy.
