Yes, Friedman, whose disciples gave us as much, if not more, debt that those New Deal and Great Society libs.

"well-proven economic thought" Ward your first joke was pretty good but I don't think you realize that you made two.

They say that the Milton Friedman Institute will "....reinforce among the public a perception that the university's faculty lacks intellectual and ideological diversity..." Those professors are being unintentionally hilarious with that statement. Here you have an ocean of liberals. In the middle, you have an island of study named after Milton Friedman, a pioneer of sensible and well-proven economic thought. The liberals don't want the island. They want it to be all ocean. That's their idea of "..diversity."

The Crosswalk Sting is my favorite new thing in the land. I've almost died 3 times in the past 24 hours. It's also my new band name.

"reinforce among the public a perception that the university's faculty lacks intellectual and ideological diversity" Of course, the faculty doesn't state what intellectual and ideological diversity they are looking for; something tells me they believe 'diversity' means 'people who share my ideas'.

Early in the war, Bush was getting briefed by Rumsfeld. "Yesterday, Mr. President, three Brazilian soldiers were killed." The President dropped his head, mortified, and even wept. Rumsfeld was puzzled. "Mr. President, I've never seen you so moved." "Of course I'm moved," said the President. "But tell me. Just how much is a brazillion?" (Anyway, that 1,000 trillion quote made me think of that joke...and I am a Republican, by the way)

I'm telling you, Margaret, bacon floss is the future! And it will look nice in my medicine cabinet next to my bacon bandages.

They use the notation "1,000 trillion" because quadrillion isn't a pretty number.
