College bosses joining ranks of millionaires

The fast-growing group of millionaire private college and university presidents hit a record in recent years, and it's likely more college leaders will make sevenfigure salaries once the slumping economy rebounds.

"Attract top talent"...bullsh*t. If they're in it for the money, screw 'em. They deserve a good salary, but if they're not doing it for love of education, then go get a job in corporate America.

The boards that hire these people at these rates are out of their minds.

Excuse me but aren't these institutions supposed to be not-for-profit?
And isn't this a recession when the private sector is being forced by the marketplace to tighten its collective belt?
Liberal Democrats in Congress are complaining about Wall Street raping America but it sounds as though the real pillaging is being done by executives at these tax-exempt alleged not-for profit organizations.
What a scam!

Major U.S. Research University Discovers New Element!!!!!

The heaviest element known to science was recently discovered by
investigators at a major U.S. research university. The element,
tentatively named Administratium, has no protons or electrons and
thus has an atomic number of 0.

However, it does have one neutron, 125 assistant neutrons, 75 vice
neutrons, and 111 assistant vice neutrons. This gives it an atomic
mass of 312.

These 312 particles are held together by a force that involves the
continuous exchange of meson-like particles called morons. It is
also surrounded by vast quantities of electron-like particles called
peons.

Since it has no electrons, Administratium is inert. However, it can
be detected chemically as it impedes every reaction it comes in
contact with. According to the discovers, a minute amount of
Administratium causes one reaction to take over four days to
complete when it would have normally occurred in less than one
second.

Administratium has a normal half-life of approximately three years,
at which time it does not decay, but instead undergoes a
reorganization in which assistant neutrons, vice neutrons, and
assistant vice neutrons exchange places.

In fact, Administratium sample's mass actually INCREASES over
time, since with each reorganization some of the morons inevitably
become neutrons, forming new isotopes.

This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to
speculate that perhaps Administratium is spontaneously formed
whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration. This
hypothetical quantity is referred to as "critical morass."

That's awesome.
