<p>twaddle = trivial, feeble, silly, or tedious </p>
<p>Describing An Coulter's work thusly is intellectually satisfying but practically incorrect.
Her message is powerful and effective in her political mileau. Reminds me of another intellectually feeble but effective rabble rouser in Germany back in the 30's. Wish the German intelligensia and ruling caste had taken him more seriously.</p>
<p>the funny thing is that CALS is harder to get into today than CAS was back when that bony hag was applying to college</p>
<p>lol an anti-reductio ad hitlerum?</p>
<p>"the funny thing is that CALS is harder to get into today than CAS was back when that bony hag was applying to college "</p>
<p>Perhaps today, but maybe not when Keith Olbermann was applying to college, which is more to point.</p>
<p>Haha it's funny how Ann coulter, Keith Olbermann, Bill Maher, and Janet Reno all went to Cornell.</p>

Applejack, I agree with you. Still, I do not think that it would be preferable for rabble-rousers like Coulter to be left unchallenged. If she were not opposed too many bumpkins in her audience would be left to believe her moronic drivel. At least if she is countered some portion of her less dimwitted readers and listeners will realize her absurdities for what they are – twaddle. Also, the more demagogues like this blowhard are shown in their true freakish light, the further they are relegated to two-bit tabloids rather than to platforms that have a semblance of credibility.

<p>And therein lies the brilliance of her strategy. She wins either way.</p>
<p>You ignore her, her ideas fester like a cankerous sore pussing throughout this great land.</p>
<p>You engage her, her ideas fester like a cankerous sore pussing throughout this great land.</p>

<p>I'm not really sure what that says about us. Certainly politically diverse. But, then I look at the reasoning at least 2 to 3 of those people use and I wonder sometimes.</p>
<p>Actually - Bill Maher's a pretty damn smart guy. </p>
<p>With the likes of communication, education, and the newish applied economics program, I wonder if the days of calling it CALS are numbered. Strange mix of programs.</p>
<p>You need a good dose of Lee Greenwood on repeat, Mr. CayugaRed. </p>
<p>Fix yer pinko ways up real good. :)</p>
<p>I don't believe Anne Coulter is really a far right winger. I think she says all of those things to make a name for herself in order to make a lot of money. She is best friends with Bill Maher, from their Cornell days. Maybe Bill M is also not such a liberal. I have a vision of them getting together and laughing at all of us (or laughing all the way to the bank).</p>

<p>You may be missing my point, which is that Coulter's specious "intelligent" right of Attila the Hun demagoguery should be universally seen for its more rightful nature: twaddle. I am aware that too many folks take her drivel to be somehow intellectually cogent, which I emphatically refute. My humble preference, however, is to simply regard her as a pernicious pinhead.</p>

<p>Well, that's another issue altogether. I would love to a college for the applied social sciences merged in with HumEc and ILR. And you can do what you wish with AEM.</p>
<p>put AEM in the biz school (where it belongs)......</p>
<p>3 Important Points:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Coulter sounds just like the "elite liberals" she is constantly trying to bash.</p></li>
<li><p>The Ivy League was a sports conference. If ANY students from CALS played in the "Ivy League" it is effectively part of the Ivy League. I mean, does she have an actual definition of an Ivy League school she's using? </p></li>
<li><p>Please update me on everything Keith says when he makes her worst person of the world and goes on a rant. I won't be watching it, but I gotta know.</p></li>

<p>I was pointing out the idiocy of Coulter claiming that Arts and Sciences is the only Ivy League school, because, in her world, the other schools aren't as good.</p>
<p>LOL, wow 10char</p>
<p>Lol at keith olbermann response! Absolutely destroyed ann!</p>
