Take a look at the link, and tell me which scandal becomes your "champion".
Border? What border? would probably win this week, but in a week that was scandal-free (Is there such a thing anymore?), I would vote for IRS thuggery and the computer crashes that followed. This is such a wide open competition that I honestly could see about five of these "winning".

    Wow. The fact that you can even extend the bracket beyond a playoff (two) is scary. That it goes to four rounds is a disgrace.

    Must be gone now. My brother and I both went to FIT for about ~$1,000/yr on this program.

    It's got a different name, but the program exists. Private school did not equal the public school cost after that. The program rewarded students with the same amount to any Florida university, regardless of private or public status.

    Yep, I remember. Do they still have the Florida Tuition Voucher Fund, making private school cost equal to public schools? That was very good for FIT.

    Our students get the highest salaries of any university in Florida, but they use it to pay off a significant debt load. At least they are not moochers. They do pay their debts, but creditworthiness doesn't factor into the equation any more now that only the government is in control of the student loan program. Guess what does. Yup! It's need. AAAACCCKKK!

    Would be awesome if all debt is included, private and public. Suspect FIT pales in comparison to Bowie State and other reverse racist schools.
    The proper metric would be on the pay-back ratio, (paid back/ (public + private funding)).

    The last line of the article says it all. "I don’t know. To believe this is true, you’d have to believe Obama applied some awfully heavy-handed pressure to get his way. And really, what are the odds of that?"

    Well, NOW WE DO KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT!!!!

    Particularly when those acolytes have either explicitly or implicitly signed full and unconditional pardons. They just have to pray every day that if the grant is implicit, that O keeps breathing.

    It was never advertised as such.

    In my county every Chrysler and GM dealer donated to Republicans. After being forced to close that part of his dealership, the biggest of our county's dealers found GM re-opening his dealership under a Democrat named Rosner from out of county a couple of months later. In my county that was the biggest stinker of 2009.

    It's a big deal for me. Obama has threatened universities with shutting off funding for schools with alumni with the highest amount of debt. Therefore, schools like mine that already have a disadvantage in that they are being state-subsidized might get an even bigger disadvantage.

    When does Dear Leader give his "resignation speech"?

    Rob, I bet that it's the EO granting any illegal alien amnesty
    if any of a broad list of "contributions" to society are
    met -- like joining a church, or enlisting in the army,
    or working anywhere, or being related to one of these
    90,000 new imported kids ... or maybe being able
    to say the word "Democrat"?! -- j

    rmcd, when I sang in the big choir at my church,
    as a youngster, and the choir director said to make
    our interpretation of a certain song soft and plaintive,
    he didn't have to coach me on every note.

    this president, Valerie/Barack, doesn't have to
    coach on every note ... the carefully selected
    acolytes *know* how this fascism is sung. -- j

    I don't mind you jumping in. Especially when you're in agreement with me. If the IRS is allowed to get away with it, we are up to our necks in excrement and Obama is about to come by in a motorboat.

    Ah, but it will. With little job prospects for many recent college grads, and a trillion dollars in loans outstanding, it is certain to become a more critical issue, and soon.
