Alan Grayson, D-Fla.

Embarrassment to the university. I rest my case. :ohno:

Kudos to Harvard.

If the House only had a few hundred more Graysons, the country would be in great shape!

A true American Patriot, who genuinely cares about AMERICA - for the people, by the people.

He might be one of the few in congress who is starting to get it. He might actually be a real progressive. I'm guessing he is not very happy about the health care legislation either.

I don't blame you for disliking him Ive, we often tend to fear that which we don't understand. :kisswink:

Only those from the planet Antarea understand Grayson, kalm. He's unintelligible. Maybe you, from Eastern Andromeda U in your ultimate wisdom, understand the sunuvabitch. :rofl:

Then YOU can give to Harvard, dback. I won't support that whiny toilet-cleaning douchebag. Read his whiny self-fellating bio.

Then give to NAU - we turn out Congressmen more to your liking - Republican crooks like Rick Renzi :nod:

Scheit, dback, did I ever tell you that my late mother -- who spent her whole life in the theater -- spent 7 of the happiest weeks of her life at the NAU summer theater program? I thought not. I'd much rather give a grand to NAU than to fokkin' Harvard at this stage of my life. So get out of my face. :evil:

That is nice to hear, IT - NAU has a great summer program in many areas.

So when can NAU expect a donation?

I'm sorry you feel so threatened by populist speech. Let me guess, you're not a very big fan of Jesse Ventura either.

The hoi poloi and those of us who count them as customers however appreciate a little plain talk and blunt language from time to time. We've figured out these type of ideas are better for America as whole rather than a select, pre destined few.

Harvard does not need the money...
Jack Meyer, David Mittleman and Maurice Samuels turned 5 billion into 25 billion in 15 years - and - Meyer would still be there if he wasn't harassed about his 35 million dollar salary every week....

Rest assured the present crop of dullards managing the Harvard hen-house will turn Jacks fine work back into 5 billion in a few more years - and everything will be back to normal...

:nod:

The Italian said she had lunch a few times with Jack at the Federal Reserve building - found him a fascinating mathematician but a bit dull on the personal side - apparently he loved a good avocado salad - but then again, don't we all...

You're right about that, Cleets. Let me ask you one thing. Do YOU give to Harvard? If so, why?

I have had a rocky relationship with one department in particular and admin in general...
Let's say I didn't exactly cover myself with glory - I kind of went the Soledad O'Brien route with Harvard

When I was in Boston (second time around) I surrendered 100% of my salary to the school when I was employed by The Harvard University Press and granted a few very important "things" to the School of Engineering and Applied Science - something I've since regretted doing... Mostly related to quantitative experimental techniques used at a former employer Scientific-Atlanta where we were charting the cooperative behavior of molecular architectures and I gave Harvard some detailed files on dynamic self-organizing sub-cellular structures...

Cisco systems (the company that had just purchased Scientific-Atlanta) was interested in my generosity... that took a long time to "clean up"

but basically the answer is: No.. I don't write Harvard a check every month
But I have continued to "do nice things" for those in certain departments - and it is appreciated

:nod:

Then I gotta think, Cleets. 35th reunion 18 months away. :|

The Italian has a nice little place in town, I like visiting her...
If you're having a party give me some advanced notice - I'll bring her along - but she also works and has a place in Montreal, she's back and forth a lot - it takes delicate timing to synchronize with her

:nod:

You must work in nanotechnology, Cleets. Helping the government build mind control devices? :D

Meh, I wasn't smart enough - although I have had a life long love affair with Nanotechnologies
I landed in consumer based electronics and transmission technologies - it's been a long road with many strange jobs and some cool stories (bore you to tears) but I find myself fascinating

You and the other conservative Harvard grad need to get together and form a club.

Yep.

His latest project is to perfect a device that will allow evangelicals to mind meld with the government officials of backwater African countries. Getting them to kill gays is much easier that way.
