From the wonderful folks who brought you George W
“Yale makes big changes to MBA program
By JOHN CHRISTOFFERSEN, Associated Press
For one group of graduate business students at Yale, next month's lessons will take place on pineapple, banana and coffee plantations in Costa Rica.
Yale this year became the first major university to require its MBA students to study abroad.
During the first two weeks of January, Yale students will travel to one of eight destinations around the world for intensive study.
... students traveling to Costa Rica to check out the plantations ... as explore how globalization affects small countries.”
Yes boys and girls, two weeks and you’re learning how to exploit the indigenous population, and everything about world order...two weeks seems consistent with the Yale attention span... and depth of understanding...two weeks and you have an international understanding...it boggles the mind...

Toads, Judge Roberts, Christians, Environmentalists

From Reuters
An environmental group and a Christian prayer network have joined forces to sue the Bush administration over the fate of an endangered toad -- the same "hapless" amphibian at the center of a legal opinion by U.S. Supreme Court nominee John Roberts.
The "Center for Biological Diversity" and "Christians Caring for Creation" claim in their federal lawsuit that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has failed to protect the California habitat of the endangered arroyo toad.
