A letter sent to the president of the board of trustees from SMU faculty, administrators, and staff:

"We count ourselves among those who would regret to see SMU enshrine attitudes and actions widely deemed as ethically egregious: degradation of habeas corpus, outright denial of global warming, flagrant disregard for international treaties, alienation of long-term U.S. allies, environmental predation, shameful disrespect for gay persons and their rights, a pre-emptive war based on false and misleading premises, and a host of other erosions of respect for the global human community and for this good Earth on which our flourishing depends."

He should build it at Texas Tech. It'd be the first lie-berry since the bats took over the old one in Lubbock, and Bobby Knight could whip the dissenting faculty into submission.

Wow. Could've have said it better myself. That's signature material!

That's pretty 'to the point' - BRAVO!

But I still can't quite wrap my head around the concept of that man's name and 'library' being used in the same sentence.

true, but he probably understands the word "liberry"

Besides - who needs a whole library building to hold his collection of Where's Waldo books? I mean - how many of them are there anyway?

Oh, but there are already so many books about his Presidency. Fascinating ones. I'm not sure he'd like them to be in there, though.
