Since Butternut has her own thread in "Lesser Lights", perhaps this could become a thread to report Cotter's poopies. She's not only a Birther, but she's also a Climate Change Denialist. She also lives in the town where I spent most of my career, Newberg, OR. She was some minor player in city government, last I checked.

And, I wanna see her transcript!

Edit: Oh. For the uninitiated, she posts as Danae at FR.

It really disappoints me to see that "Danae" has become a lap dog and a fellow traveller for Russian Communism. [-X

I just think it's so awesome in these fraught times of polarized debate that journalistic enterprises have become so careful and precise about prominently distinguishing straight news reporting from editorializing, opinion, and parody, so that when one reads a news headline stating that an event occurred, followed by a byline, and then an article relating assertions of fact with names and dates, one can be absolutely sure that it's all true (after accounting for some small degree of unavoidable bias or perhaps inexperience on the part of the reporter), and not completely made-up tripe designed to inflame anger at nothing at all.

A birther friend of mine posted this comment about the story:

"would only be convincing if Dan Rather were conducting the investigation. Any one with the balls to conduct such a high profile case with the possibility of an embarassing himself beyond repair, deserves attention. I don't know much of the isues of Arpaio conducting human rights violations but no one even cares that the same violations were carried out with deadly force in the assassination of Anwar Awlaki and his son or the treatment by Obama to increase drone attacks in the middle east and kill innocent people. The mainstream media doesn't mind any of those human rights violations. Who knows, maybe Obama will receive another Nobel Peace Prize. After all, he received one for sending 30,000 troops to Afghanistan. Today 37 Afghani civilians were killed. No outrage today because it was only necessary before 2009.

What I find amazing in the article is the issue of Obama trying to help create provisions of allowing allowing a president to not be a natural born citizen. The birth certficate issue was just a distraction but now it appears that the distraction was worth paying notice. These attempts of revising presidenial requirements were several and all began in 2004. There were at least 7 attempts. Very interesting indeed."

I don't know what your birfer friends means by "attempts" but there was some discussion in 2004 -- by Republicans who wanted to be able to run Der Governator, Ahnuld.

I imagine your civics-challenged friend has no idea how "revising presidenial requirements" happens, either.

I know you didn't write the part in quotes above (I checked the link you listed) but it's very confusing since both the accreditation that it does have and the one the responder is saying it doesn't have are "AACSB" accreditations. Is anyone here familiar enough with either AMU or MBA-school accreditation to know what the poster at Yahoo Answers might have been meaning to say?

AACSB is Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. My alma mater says: "less than 30% of business schools in the U.S. and less than 5% worldwide have earned and retained this distinguished hallmark of excellence in management education." It took a major initiative to get that accreditation for the school.

AMU's MBA has ACBSP (Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs ) Looks like the poster screwed up the letters.

AMU is also an online university, not a brick-and-mortar school:

Quote:
APUS’s courses and programs are delivered online. Classes start monthly, and courses are offered in 8- or 16-week sessions.

APUS is regionally accredited through the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and is nationally accredited by the Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council.


So Danae is getting her degree the same way Orly got hers.
