Sweet merciful Yahweh, are we really going to have to spend the next year and a half debating the merits of a college education for presidential candidates?
Nice. The only one I was forced to pay for(grad school one) arrived in the mail "postage due". A metaphor for grad school, if you ask me. If I ever frame it, I'll also frame the mailing envelope with the notice prominently displayed
I am fairly certain that Kirby Delauter does not have a college degree because Kirby Delauter does not list any college on the Kirby Delauter bio for the Frederick County Council page, so Kirby Delauter probably doesn't have a college degree.
It has been my experience that it is the fabled job creators, those noble creatures who have real jobs and worry about making a payroll that Eric Bolling holds so dear to his heart, that have made a college degree the minimum requirement to get even a passing consideration from hiring managers.
I actually do care that a candidate for president has a college degree, and I don't feel remotely elitist for saying so. I'm not looking for some folksy guy or gal I can "relate" to - I seriously hope that whoever we elect to our highest office is one of the smartest people on the planet (though that is not the sole qualification). I guess I just don't have an inferiority complex that leads me to resent people who are smarter than me. And when I look at the criteria that many people (especially the wingnuts) think are important - like religion, or how loudly you claim to deny basic science - it just makes me nuts.
BTW, I also recognize that like GW Bush, one could have a degree from a prestigious university and still be a complete idiot. I guess that happens when your acceptance to said prestigious university is based on your Daddy's name.
Nowadays you need a college degree to get a job as manager of Pizza Hut. I think the job of president is significantly more complicated and should require, at minimum, a BA. Rand Paul does have a degree. Scott Walker, as you say, shows a lot of ignorant disdain for education. He really should not even be governor, but don't inflict him on the rest of us.

Until I can get back my ChicTract_Filet again, this is what I really look like. And I thought my 96 points would get me a free apple pie.

They meant my clockwork orange hat
Wait...then what's NPR!
Both of you need to be beaten with a BLT, y'know the kind where the bacon is real crisp....
MEDIC!
*wiping tears* No idea why, but that struck me very funny.

and in Ryan and Walker's case, sucking at the government teat most of their lives.
infuriating.
Mandrel bend headers are the dream range I've always wanted.
Is that a tea cozy on his head?
Education is so Twentieth Century.
And no later than 1850.
This is good news for John McCain!
