Inside out


INSIDE OUT. Above is a pic of Irvine Valley College’s once majestic A300 building, which is now surrounded by a chain link fence, perhaps in preparation for yet another round of remodeling. Years ago, one of Raghu Mathur’s favorite hires, Dean Howard Gensler, decided to turn the building inside out. (You’ll recall that Gensler was the “brains” behind the infamous “Howard Hilton” fiasco.) The building has been a wreck ever since. Now look at it.


RUIZ OFF TO NEW YORK ON CCC'S DIME. Allegedly, Frank Mickadeit has another column about Armando Ruiz (Colleges hurting; Ruiz off to Big Apple: The Trustee sticks to his travel plans, even as the budget tanks), but, when I go there, there ain’t no there there. I left a comment: “Hey dude, where’s your column?”


MADDOW VS. FRUM. Yesterday, National Review Online’s David Frum was a guest on Rachel Maddow’s (excellent) MSNBC show to discuss some recent remarks he had made about John McCain. For some reason, Frum seemed determined to put down Maddow and her new program, calling it childish. In the ensuing discussion, Maddow bested him, I think. Wadda creep.

Tonight’s culprit is none other than former McCain chief economic advisor Phil Gramm:


Keith Olbermann hits the nail on the head today re McCain's scary/moronic followers:

Frum is an arrogant, pompous snob.
Olbermann is justifiable in his "tone".
Maddow is smooth and I would enjoy an evening of wine and cheese with her.
Thanks for the posts Roy.
