The people, united, will never be defeated

POSTED: Tuesday, June 26, 2012, 3:58 PM

Last week I told you about the outrage at the University of Virginia, where a bunch of hedge fund jerks (they're everywhere, they're everywhere!) ousted the popular president in a secret coup to advance their shadowy hedge-fund-y schemes. But the community -- students and faculty -- fought back to reinstate Teresa Sullivan. They rallied, they marched, they chanted, they tweeted and bloggled, and they never let up.

They won.

Were you paying attention, Occupy Wall Street?

It will be really embarrassng to have to fire her again for her past academic fraud after firing her and then rehiring her.

Happens all the time in the business world. But you wouldn't know about that would you Will? And comparing this to OWS is apples and oranges.

"...their shadowy hedge-fund-y schemes."

Care to point out specifically what these schemes are exactly and maybe how they are being implemented? Otherwise, it's just your typical leftist appeal to emotion.

“We have both come to the conclusion that it is time to bring the U-Va. community together" . . . . . . Apparently that had been accomplished once you fired Sullivan. Forget OWS, compare this to the PSU riots after Paterno's dismissal, and learn.

"Care to point out specifically what these schemes are exactly and maybe how they are being implemented?" . . . . . . Good point. Not even Romney can explain how his hedge-fund-y experience translates into a scheme to save the economy. Or is it too shadowy?

Rufus, that's not a bad image of Bunch. Can't go wrong with Ginsberg. "What came is gone forever every time--Though while it comes it is a lion that eats the soul--and the lamb, the soul,
in us, alas, offering itself in sacrifice to change's fierce hunger--hair and teeth--and the roar of bonepain, skull bare, break rib, rot-skin, braintricked Implacability." Ohm.

"bunch of hedge fund jerks"- "Bunch of B.S." you'd better be careful about who you go after because folks like that are most likely the only ones who can save your career, if that's what you call it. LOL!!!

The hedge fund managers cannot stomach who really runs UVA, the secret societies. No where in the country are secret societies so open about being secret and controlling.
