OVER ON FACEBOOK, State Senator Reuven Carlyle Made a Mistake
Trying to brag about the UW as a world class academic school, Reuven tried to compare the academic standing of #1 ranked NCAA football team, The Alabama Crimson Tide, to the academic standing our own UW Huskies with a football team at #4. Reuven picked the wrong campus … UA Tuscaloosa is the[...]
A CPA Looks at the UW Athletic Department
I attended last Saturday’s Republican caucus to support Rick Santorum. As a follower of Jefferson, I believe wer need two real parties. It time the Republican Party run an hoest candidate. I will write more about this later …now I want to discuss the Huskies. At that SaturdayR[...]
