TIER 4 COLLEGE? That's for sure!

The electorate will be balling "TEARS 4 ( FOR ) a long, long, long time if Sarah Palin lives in the White House.

Points of Pride



  • The University of Idaho is included in the 2008 list of Kiplinger’s 100 Best Values in Public Colleges. The rankings reflect academic strength and affordability.
  • We are consistently recognized among the "top national, doctoral-granting universities" in the country by U.S. News & World Report.
  • We are ranked in the top half of the Top 50 Best Values (http://www.uidaho.edu/futurestudents/finances/costofattendance.aspx - broken link) for Public Colleges and Universities by Consumers Digest and recognized by The Princeton Review as one of the "77 Best Value Colleges in America."
  • We are a national research institution with world-class labs and facilities, but have only about one-third the number of students as most national universities - which means you will actually get to use those resources from day one.
  • We have received nearly $100 million in research funding each year since 2003, and recently received a $10-million grant from the National Institutes of Health.
  • Our residential campus in Moscow, Idaho, matches beauty with year-round outdoor recreational opportunities.
Consider what else gives us the leading edge in the state, the West and beyond:
  • We have more National Merit Scholars than all other institutions in the state combined and have a nationally acclaimed Honors Program.
  • We offer the only law program in Idaho, one of the best in the West.
  • Our library is the largest in the state, with more than two million holdings.
  • Our outreach (http://www.uidaho.edu/about/pointsofpride/outreachprograms.aspx - broken link) learning and research centers extend to Idaho's 44 counties.
  • Our students participate in more than 200 student organizations - including 20 minority student groups and international student groups.
  • We compete at the Division I level of intercollegiate athletics, and we're a proud member of the Western Athletic Conference.
  • We're ranked in the top 30 in the nation as "a great university to hit the books and backcountry" by Outside magazine.
  • We're ranked in the top one-third of Intel's "100 Most Unwired College Campuses in the U.S."

You mean like the law GWB had to ask them to put into place because of the failures of FM/FM....


Is that a good answer? Where were the law makers when HS dropouts could figure out they were failing?


I didn't answer you because I was trying to help you save face.

laissez-faire= GWB and Repub practice of letting the market decide. This has gone on for years under the Bush regime.

Many other companies are now failing, you see? Bush is only reacting at this point.

frontline: the wall street fix: mr. weill goes to washington: the long demise of glass-steagall | PBS

After 12 attempts in 25 years, Congress finally repeals Glass-Steagall, rewarding financial companies for more than 20 years and $300 million worth of lobbying efforts. Supporters hail the change as the long-overdue demise of a Depression-era relic.

Caribou Barbie? LOL...that's awesome!

Biden's education vs Palin's is not up 4 debate or discussion....Palin is at a severe disadvantage, she went to 3 or 4 schools to complete her Bachelor's and this is who we want in the WH....Geez, I personally want a highly educated, common sense thinker who will get shyt done. That = President Obama
