Volunteers honor Gore?

The University of Tennessee waited and waited and now, with the University of East Anglia scandal and the theory of global warming all but froze over… now UT has decided to award Algore (still vastly in need of ephedra weight loss products) an honorary degree in “visionary leadership.” Huh?

Let’s see, if the 1990ish book Earth In the Balance was his Master’s thesis and An Inconvenient Truth was his doctorate thesis, and the UT is still considering awarding the former veep even an honorary degree, then one has to wonder what kind of peer-review panel actually looked over his work for accuracy and truthfulness. Maybe the thesis committee was chaired by Michael Moore?

All I can say to all you young high school seniors considering where to go for higher education is: stay far away from the University of Tennessee. With degrees being handed out this freely and irresponsibly, you’ll soon be able to pick one up in the Wal-Mart toiletry aisle for $1.95. Save over $50,000 in student loans!
