Reader Mailbag / WHARTON #1 in New Business School Rankings! / etc.
The comments on my post about Darden's infamous anti-gay applicant are still soiling the blog like so many flakes of dandruff on a black cashmere jacket. This one's a lay-up. If you've been holding back on commenting before now, go ahead, drop this ball into the basket for an easy two.
[Bskewl,] You moron, the author of that particular blog is not saying that homosexuals should not go to business school or that their sexual preferences should be held against them by Ad Com. He is simply saying that we should not take a relationship made up of two men or one made up of two women, and place that relationship on the same level as a man married to a woman. Let me ask you question, I happen to love TJ. TJ and I live together, we sleep together, I have seen TJ naked, and vice versa. Should TJ and I be allowed to participate in the "Partner's Club" at Darden? Oh .. PS: TJ is my cat.
This next one comes from a fellow New Yorker. I thought, "oh great, another bullshit ranking" but then I remembered the lesson from the Superbowl and I said to my self, "Self, don't judge too quickly." And so I followed the link, read the text, and learned that this ranking is not just on the up-and-up, it's also correct, factual, unbiased, and absolutely, positively the only ranking that applicants to business school should ever pay any attention to. Quote: "The top-ranked business schools on both the North American and worldwide lists are identical, with the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania in first place, followed in order by the Harvard Business School...." See? Now that's fair and accurate reporting! The mail:
Bskewl,I am not a big fan of rankings but University of Texas has just released a interesting study of the business schools that provides an insight into ACADEMIC side of the MBA programs. Schools are ranked according to research productivity of faculty. More information is available [here] and the ranking is available at http://citm.utdallas.edu/utdrankings/
Perhaps it could make a good addition to your blog?
And finally, I may blog in drips and drabs over the next several days. I've been sent on a dangerous assignment to a foreign land. When such things happen, the women-folk of the city wail louder than the sirens of passing ambulances:

Well. There goes my brilliant idea to bring her a dozen cheesesteaks for V-day. I'll have buy something more romantic. Any ideas?

Instead of a dozen cheese steaks, bring her a single, piping-hot tube steak this valentines day.

"Should TJ and I be allowed to participate in the "Partner's Club" at Darden? Oh .. PS: TJ is my cat."
Wow. Living in the bubble known as San Francisco, I am rarely exposed to such ignorance, although I see it on TV and read about it in the papers. Whoever wrote this about his cat needs to become friends with people who don't look, act, and think the way he does.
Sad . . . Very sad.
Bskewl,
I truly believe there are some poeple who were legally allowed to marry their pets/farm animals, I just hope you are not headed down this same path. Your classmates may look at you funny, but the 'partners' groups would probably accept TJ the Cat at all the events, hehehe.
I'm more of a dog luvr anyhow.
How was your trip to Wharton?
another blogger bites the dust? im going through bskewl withdrawal symptoms.
another mba blogger bites the dust?
im going through bskewl withdrawal symptoms here.
I'm sorry to have given you the withdrawal shakes. I strive to maintain a violence-free blog, but occasional discomfort may result (mostly from what I publish, rather than the lack of it).
