I am his age and some schools wanted a high graduation rate, others wanted a low one. i,e, Rutgers had a 1/3 graduation rate but gave a lot of lower grade average kids a chance, Others had a 90% rate. Princeton took very few, My college had a high rate because it only took the top 5% of high schools, other colleges took the top 50%. the thing that cracks me up about Trump claiming Obama had bad grades is Trump's ignorance, You don't get on Law Review with bad grades. But only a numnuts would not know that.

Yep. Nobody bitched, no exclusions for religious beliefs. Polio was still something people caught. In fact, the polio vaccines were given at my local Calvary Baptist Church, which is also where I went to kindergarten. I think you're right about it being part of the polio vaccine. Next time I go to my doc, I'm going to ask if I need to get any of my vaccines re-done.

I did, at of all places CBGBs. They played a semi-secret show under their Icelandic name Sykurmolarnir and played their whole show in Icelandic.

A 2.0 GPA? I'd have killed myself. Hell, I would have killed myself if I'd gotten a 2.0 in any class! (If you don't count quantitative analysis).

In that widely circulated photograph, the youthful Barack Obama had the unmitigated audacity to be dressed as a young man and grinning. Everyone knows that you should either wear a poorly fitted blue suit with white shirt and red tie, or you should lounge around in bed pretending to be a center fold. Also, you should have a very, very bad bowl cut hair do. These short afros are racist and liberal. I forget, is Obama a Nigerian or a Kenyan? (In any case, I'll bet he never went to Wharton. Donald Trump's profs still talk about him.)

If they'd hurry up with it we could use their land to plant marijuana.

Counterpoint: Hawking knew better than to order anything from the ACME company.
