As long as we’re obsessing on personal resumes, I thought I’d share a little biographical tidbit of my own. I graduated college intending to pursue a career on Broadway, and while I guess most people might write off my dreams as a failure, I still managed to get further than most, having co-written the book and lyrics for a musical that opened Off-Broadway at the well respected Vineyard Theatre in December of 2001.
It was in many ways a personal disaster, four years of hard work dissipating in a three-week run and a series of scathing reviews, but I’ve always lived by the philosophy that I’d rather fail big than succeed small, and so I’ve often proudly (if self-deprecatingly) described myself as the co-author of an Off-Broadway musical flop.
Problem is, the program, and thus the subsequent nasty review in our nation’s paper of record, the New York Times, doesn’t give me credit for co-writing the book, so I guess, given recent precedent, our local media would accuse me of lying, or at the very least exaggerating my failure.
But I did co-write the book. For four years I collaborated on that script, writing and rewriting and re-rewriting the book and lyrics, but after a falling out with the artistic director over a series of last minute cuts that I vehemently opposed, he retaliated by removing my name from the book credit… and that’s how the NY Times and other papers credited the show in their reviews.
So while I’ve got no documentation to back up my claim, the truth remains: I co-wrote the lyrics and book of an Off-Broadway musical flop.
The point is, in reporting, “the facts” don’t always equate to the “the truth.” At most other universities, Darcy Burner’s degree might have been recorded as a B.A. in computer science with a minor in economics, but that’s just not the terminology used at Harvard. Still, the truth remains that Darcy did at least enough work for a minor, having completed five economics courses at one of the top business schools in the nation, along with two related mathematics courses, earning what her Harvard dean agrees is accurately described as a degree in computer science and economics, even if that is not exactly what is written on the diploma.
To parse a conjunction in an effort cast Darcy as a liar is thus absurd, especially in light of the very real and pressing issue in which this bogus charge was raised: our nation’s unprecedented economic crisis. The question voters should care about is, given Darcy’s extensive economics education at one of the finest schools in the nation versus Reichert’s two-year social work degree from a small Christian college, whose education leaves them better prepared to understand and address this crisis?
Darcy earned a degree in computer science and economics, as Dean Lewis attests, but whatever the so-called facts, I think the truth is obvious.

Roger Rabbit spews:
I’m not sure how relevant academic economics is to solving the current crisis. Greenspan has plenty of econ creds but got his ass bit anyway. Dealing with this crisis requires something no Republican has, common sense. All you need to understand is that 2 + 2 doesn’t = 36 no matter how much leverage there is. Try explaining that to Reichert and when his eyes glaze over you’ll know why he’s better qualified to be a retired cop than a sitting congressman.
Puddybud spews:
Speaking of facts not equaling the truth: I remember a while back the whack-a-mole libtards here saying what a great man Alan greenspan was for backing Obama’s economic policies. I begged to differ and I used the Greenspan sub-prime mortgages decisions as my example. Many of you morons howled fowl. Well looks like Puddy was sage again.
You all can search the ASSes here and see who said what!
“As far back as 1994, Mr. Greenspan staunchly and successfully opposed tougher regulation on derivatives.”

Pelletizer, yes the PuddyTruth hurts doesn’t it? Hmmm… no additional regulation in 1994? Hmmm… that’s what Greenspan said.
Puddybud spews:
So Pelltizer back to my original argument, if Greenspan was wrong then why is he right now to choose Obama’s economic policies? He’s older and probably more brain dead now…
ArtFart spews:
In four years at the UW getting my electrical engineering degree, I took a single introductory econ course and a quarter of statistics. Five econ classes and two directly related math classes is definitely well outside the typical path to a pure technical degree.
I don’t recall anyone asking what sort of knowledge of economics Reichert picked up studying to be a cop. Being as he’s been such a staunch supporter of the Bushistas’ policies that have led to the present train wreck, my estimate would be not bloody much.

Puddy @9,
Darcy does indeed have a degree in economics. It is a degree in computer science and economics. She did all the work for necessary for that degree, and at other schools it would have been listed as such, but Harvard merely uses different terminology.
Now, I don’t blame the Reichert camp for attempting to make a big deal out of this technical parsing. That’s what campaigns do. I blame the Times for handing it to them on a golden platter.

We could also rewrite how republicans are “for” the free market to solve all out problems – except when they run to government in a crisis.
We could also go back to how republicans are “for” personal responsibility except when it comes to the war in Iraq, the economy or the department formerly known as the “justice” department.
Maybe we could also re-edit the constitutional amendments and the law to make sure that the poor don’t have a right to vote. Republicans sure like to discourage people from voting.

Puddybud spews:
Steve@23 – Still drinking Steve’s Stupid Solution the poll didn’t say that. Why do you lie? The only truth you tell is how much you like goat sex. The poll said “Some 37% of you say you’re “very happy” with your lives“.

Poster Child spews:
Hold on, Goldy, you may inadvertantly be compounding the problem.
“Still, the truth remains that Darcy did at least enough work for a minor, having completed five economics courses at one of the top business schools in the nation,…”
Can you confirm that the economics courses Darcy took were in the Business School and not (as seems likely) in some other department (maybe Economics)?
Still, to my sensibilities blurring the lines between a full major and an interdisciplinary concentration at an Ivy League university seems far less fraudulent than blurring the distinction between a junior college degree and a four year degree, but that is, obviously the elitist perspective as opposed to the Joe-six-pack liar liar pants on fire interpretation.

Goldy spews:
Poster child @27,
I don’t know for a fact that the courses were in the business school. I based the assertion from my own experience at Penn where my recollection is that the economics courses were in Wharton undergrad, and as a student in the College of Arts and Sciences I was not eligible to take most Wharton courses without special permission.
Puddybud spews:
You see Steve, you didn’t view the actual poll you just read the WaPo article:
Well, Republicans are different from Democrats. How so? Let us count the ways.
* They have more money.
* They have more friends.
* They are more religious.
* They are healthier.
* They are more likely to be married.
* They like their communities better.
* They like their jobs more.
* They are more satisfied with their family life.
* They like the weather better.
* They have fewer financial worries.
* They’re more likely to see themselves doing better in life than their parents did.
* They’re more likely to feel that individuals – rather than outside forces – control their own success or failure.
* They have more of what they most value in life. (No, it’s not money).
You on the other hand Steve besides doing a goat today think outside forces are the reason you indulge yourself with goats.

Oh, my. Our very own Puddy, author of the well-known Puddy Parade of Partial Punditry wants to toot his horn about the facts he has brought up, all the while wanting to remain ignorant of the facts he has, time and again, failed to point out. Talk about not getting it.
Nothing quite so destroys the truth as telling only half of it–a maxim the truth of which is amply demonstrated just about every time Puddy deigns to act as if he knows something.
Case in point from this very thread. Puddy likes to tout the fact that he called out Alan Greenspan for Greenspan’s recommendations regarding adjustable rate mortgages. Does Puddy bother to point out the fact that ARM’s are not the same thing as subprime loans (does Puddy even know the difference)? No. Does Puddy make any comment about the fact that Alan Greenspan lowered the Federal Funds rate to unprecedented levels, and how that had a far more direct effect on the current crisis than any comment Greenspan made about adjustable rate mortgages? No.
Puddy doesn’t give a shit about the truth, which leaves his present self-congratulations resounding with a seriously hollow echo.
Puddy, you once accused me of puffing up my chest and showing how smart I am. What you’re doing now is puffing up your chest. Only, you’re managing to show just how ignorant you are.
And, tragically, you remain ignorant of your ignorance.
BTW, Puddy, you might as well vote for John McCain. God knows you’ve carried enough of McCain’s water for him. Why only do a half-assed job of it?

Federal officials: No charges expected vs. ex-Congressman Mark Foley in lurid e-mail scandal
By BRIAN SKOLOFF | Associated Press Writer
7:20 PM EDT, September 18, 2008
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) _ Two federal officials have told The Associated Press that no charges are expected against former Congressman Mark Foley after a lengthy investigation into his lurid computer messages to underage pages.
They also told AP results of the state investigation will be announced Friday. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case.
The Palm Beach County Republican resigned in 2006 after being confronted with graphic e-mails and instant messages he sent to male teenage pages. He has since been under investigation by the state and the FBI.
Foley’s attorney, David Roth, has acknowledged that Foley sent the messages to the teens, but has maintained Foley never had inappropriate contact with minors.
Puddybud spews:

You see incorrectnottobright and reallydumbtonight, the law is the law. Even Pelletizer understands the law. In the states where Mark Foley was emailing 16 & 17 year old pages, the law says they were of age. That’s the reason the FBI couldn’t make a case against Foley. I never said I condoned what Foley did. You make that silly claim.
I said the “facts” as presented by the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) could not be corroborated and Brian Ross had to admit he couldn’t find what statutes Foley broke.

No one should care what I think or decide to not care what I think based solely on the fact that I’m the person presenting the argument. The quality of the argument should matter, but that fact seems to elude your mind.
Remember Sam Zell and Noriel Roubini? You picked Zell, because you liked who Zell is. I picked Roubini, because Roubini’s argument and analysis was better. Guess who was right?
It seems Henry The Nose Waxman is arguing the same points I made a few weeks back.
Frankly, that’s not possible, because you never actually make a point. All you do is lace together disconnected facts without ever trying to stitch them together into a coherent argument.
Even if it were possible, why the hell should it matter, Puddy? Waxman’s human. He’s allowed to be wrong from time to time. Why would that somehow, magically, make your non-existent argument correct?

Yeah in your universe you are always right. You didn’t like my points you in your closed mindedness, because it wasn’t from one of your heroes, therefore it can’t be right. I see you didn’t read the transcript. Of course you can’t deal with it.

I’ll take the risk taking money maker every day of the week.
Yes, you will. And that’s precisely why you are such an inveterate fool, Puddy. The man couldn’t have been more wrong than he was.
Since you didn’t read the full Greenspan
Why should I read the transcript when I listened to the hearing on CSPAN?
Your intellectual lethargy is rivaled only by your intellectual dishonesty. Somewhere in that transcript, we’re supposed to find Henry Waxman articulating an argument that you have never been able to adequately articulate yourself.

Don Joe: Yes, keep those thoughts. You misquote Sam Zell for your benefit. Typical typical.
Sorry bud I am not on a “sled”. And my investments have not led me astray. You keep worrying about your stuff while we smile. What a putz.
BTW Don Joe, not listening to your “pundits” I’m still up for the year. What say you…?
Selective use of my comments and you only provide typical vomit.
See ya loser.

Puddy defending Mark Foley – case closed – Puddy lies again.
