lcm commented on the diary post Andy Kroll: The Death of the Golden Dream of Higher Education by Tom Engelhardt.
College professors basically work part-time but receive full time excellent wages
Please. Enough with this myth already. There may be a few elite professors who enjoy high salaries (which tend to top out at $200K at the absolute highest end), but 95% of all college faculty will never get anywhere near that kind of money. The [...]

Thank you, OmAli. I really appreciate that, and I have very much enjoyed our conversations here. Hope you’ll visit me at Daily Kos, where I post under my blog name, alevei.

Seriously? I am not sure where you are getting the idea that I am some kind of operative for Fred Upton, for the health insurance industry, for Barack Obama, etc., rather than what I actually am, which is an English professor at a regional university in Michigan who cares about politics and likes to write [...]

Cross-posted from alevei. On last night’s broadcast of 60 Minutes , in place of the hard-hitting interview that viewers might have expected for a presidential candidate (something more along the lines of, say, Steve Kroft’s righteous pummeling of President Obama , which aired later in the broadcast), audiences were instead treated to a nothing-to-see-here talking-point-a-thon in which Scott Pelley not only [...] -

Thanks for your comments, Anthony Noel! I appreciate the feedback. (I’m trying to cut down a bit on the profuse linking. It’s kind of an addiction, I think.)

Cross-posted from Alevei. In a recent post, I set out to discuss a proposal by the University of Chicago economist Luigi Zingales that advocated equity financing of higher education, which he outlined in a June 2012 New York Times op-ed, but reconsidered that project when I realized that Zingales’s political connections, including his close association with GOP vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan, made for a [...]

Not at all, ralphbon. I appreciate your attention to the post and your thoughtful comments. Word is that I am often not as funny as I think I am, as my students would probably be the first to point out. :-)

ralphbon, thank you for your response to my post.
Perhaps its increase in premium dollars will translate to substantial job growth in the real healthcare industry — ie, among providers — but you haven’t made that case.
I am not trying to make that case. I don’t believe that is going to happen. I believe that a [...]

lcm wrote a new diary post: Best Episode Ever
Cross-posted to Alevei. I don’t know whose idea it was to have Rachel Maddow and Chris Hayes guest-host, or who picked the screwball comedy “2012 Republican National Convention,” but this is hands-down the funniest episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 EVER. Bonus: Gov. John Kasich (R-OH) pretending to be charismatic = priceless and adorable. [...]
