another day, another story from the depths concerning the “win-and-make-money-at-all-costs” regime at the univ of kans.  at this point, its pretty laughable because its clear nothing will ever get in the way of big lew’s machine he’s built.  there won’t be suspensions for any games that matter or any scholarships pulled for anyone that contributes to winning. the thugs that run ukans will continue to do their thing because thats apparently how the people of that university, city (lol at the cops and district attorney of lawrence consistently looking the other way), and fanbase want it.  and why not?  a great portion of the fanbase has never taken a class at ukans and thus don’t care about “academic integrity” or “image” or whether anything is done legitimiately and in good moral standing.  all that matters is the W’s.

and what of that?  winning is fun, sure.  but like promiscuous sex, it ultimately just leaves you wanting more and isn’t permanently satisfying.  especially when deep down you know its by nefarious means.  so it just keeps building and in ukans’ case they reach deeper by taking any player necessary, letting the player do whatever they want,  so as to produce wins and bring in the cash.  i dont see anything changing at ukans whilst the big 3 of lew, mangino, and self are around.   if u are a ukans fan, enjoy it while it lasts.  yes, i like to joke about how KSU should do a lot of the same so as to sell our university’s soul for winning, but in the end i’m actually proud of where I graduated from and winning by cheating/probation/letting thugs run loose/ect doesn’t get it done for me.

Reason number 1 million that ukansas is incredibly lame

KU objects, KSU ignores Budweiser promotion

LAWRENCE | University of Kansas officials has joined several other universities across the county objecting to a new marketing campaign from Anheuser-Busch InBev.

However, Kansas State University officials aren’t getting involved in complaints over the Bud Light “Fan Cans” — beer cans distributed in the colors of major universities.

Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director at Kansas, says the school wrote the beer company three weeks ago to try to prevent the cans from appearing in Lawrence. He says the cans might appeal to underage drinkers, and the university didn’t want anyone to think Kansas endorsed the promotion.

But Kansas State officials say they won’t join the protest. Pat Bosco, dean of student life, says the university would object if the cans carried a Kansas State logo or picture. But he says the university “doesn’t have a trademark” on the colors purple and white.

lameness aside, its also hypocritical of ukansas because as we all know big lew lobbied to have alcohol allowed on campus so ukansas could attempt to have a better tailgating atmosphere ala KSU.  lew prob just upset he can’t make money out of these cans.

the quick and easy fix to healthcare.

1. a cap on malpractice suits.  doctors often pay 10s of thousands and even in some areas hundreds of thousands of dollars a year on malpractice insurance premiums.  u cap what someone can sue a doctor for, you cut the cost to see doctors big time.

2. Everyone gets an account with somewhere between $3k and $5k a year for healthcare costs.  this could easily be paid for by scrapping ALL current inefficient and failing govt healthcare programs.

now, from this account you could choose to buy whatever private plans are out there (hopefully far less regulated), from disaster care to total coverage.  or you could just use it for regular visits, prescriptions, anything.  the key is creating consumer driven healthcare…like you see with car insurance.  a competitive marketplace of health.  and whatever you don’t spend on healthcare for the year from that account, you pocket.  thats the key.  u have the chance to pocket thousands a year by being smart about your own health and how you spend money on health…how could it not work?

jeez that took like 5 minutes to type up too.
