The World Needs Ditch Diggers Too

[bottomofthehill]

After watching "This Week" and Candidate Santorum, I think he should have a new campaign slogan, "The World Needs Ditch Diggers too” According to the boy in the sweater vest, the President is a snob because he wants everyone to have the ability to go to college. I wonder if Candidate Santorum wants his children to go to that elitist institution of college. By the way Ricky Boy, you went to college, got a Masters and a Law Degree (Doctorate of Laws), does that make you a triple elitist.....

1. Santorum is the poster boy for education can't always help a fool! n/t

2. No, but money CAN buy a degree! I know that first-hand.

In high school, the quarterback (who was mediocre at best), had rich parents who were the main "boosters" for the team. He didn't pass senior English and the head of the department refused to let him graduate. The principal overruled her decision and let him get a diploma. Said English teacher (who I never liked until that moment) immediately resigned.

3. As one of my professors once told me years ago when we were bs'ing, "If you have money

in the USA, you can do what you damn well please." Often I think of how true that was, and is today ... and into the future.

4. It was ever thus.
