re: Note to Out of State Alums

The village idiot isn't Martin. It's the idiots--morons--from the villages around Louisiana who populate the state legislature and don't understand that in tough economic times, you have to focus on your strengths, and not try to spread scarce resources across too many hometown university wannabes around the state.

Bingo. Unfortunately we have almost 100% idiots in both the state Senate and State House of Representatives. I doubt this will get any better unless we demand more out of them. They do work for us, not the other way around like they sometimes think. Louisiana would be smart to combine some smaller colleges and continue to fund the flagship university (and largest system in the state) to the maximum level possible.
