    CNN "analyst" unclear on the concept of what "plagiarism" means.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

              I wonder how much truth there is to Obama stepping up to support her, and I wonder how much clout he has.

              I would google it, but I don't really want to google "obama gay".

                      By the way, the Harvard Corporation statement at least mentions her transgressions. Not with specifics but it at least mentions that there were some.

                        And though she has resigned as president, she still keeps her job at Harvard as a (cough) "scholar."

                        The salary is about $900K, which is more than I made in 7 months.

                                  Gee, don't you imagine the Columbia President is counting her blessings about a scheduling conflict right now. That was supposed to be the fourth witness at the hearing.

                                          Ackman’s tweet is terrifying.
