Quote:Klingon Jesus? Kind of strange, but not really discrediting. More funny if anything.Glad to see I'm not the only one who was wondering if Jesus (or jah'SUS?) had a bat'leth strapped to his back. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!
Quote:He never said he attended. He never said he applied. He never said he went through the process of seeking sponsors and so forth. He said that at the conversation with westmoreland the offer was extended. Turns out that West Point calls them scholarships too. ![]() “An empty vessel makes the loudest sound, so they that have the least wit are the greatest babblers.”. - Plato
Yeh i saw that. Its actually a feather in his cap that they have to go this far.
Quote:Whats wrong with Russel Brand posing with Ben? He's not American! Carson is a foreign sympathizer. Dirty Redcoat.
I was wrong about Trent Baalke.

Quote:Turns out that West Point calls them scholarships too.My feelings on Carson are well known, but even I think this "scholarship" thing is stupid. It's essentially a government grant that pays for your post-secondary education in full, and it's awarded based upon merit and high school performance. Yes, I know that there's a post-education commitment to a certain employer for a set amount of years, but let's be honest on this one: lots of scholarships are given out on the assumption that you're going to proceed down a certain career path. A mass communications scholarship isn't going to be given to a budding accountant any more than a physicians' association is going to give a scholarship to a liberal arts major. If it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck, I don't care what the official terminology is. It's a freaking duck.

People trying desperately to find dirt on any and all candidates. Only in this case, dirt like this isn't needed. It conflates and minimizes actual issues people can/do have. Quote:He's not American! Carson Cruz is a foreign sympathizer. Dirty Redcoat. Canuck
