    When the only tool I have is a hammer, every post looks like a hangnail.

    Again, it's obvious you have nothing. So again, please just shut up. You're relying on your own prejudices and ignorance, and you have no evidence at all that Bush didn't earn his grades at Yale.

    You obviously have nothing, either, but thanks for playing.

    the editors don't necessarily write articles for publication. Becoming a member of the law review is very difficult and considered quite an honor. You can either get invited by getting very high grades or winning a writing contest (I won the writing contest at my school). The second year on law review (normally the last year of law school) pretty much everyone becomes an editor, but they have very different responsibilities. Someone for instance has to be the "managing editor." Others are "notes editors," which involves editing the papers written by the first-year students so they can receive school credit (a very small percentage of these ultimately get published) I think Harvard's Law Review is ultimately supervised and overseen by some of the professors; for some schools, everything is run by the students.

    For me (who sees things differently than most people) law review is akin to Tom Sawyer and his fence. Everyone tells you what a great honor it is, how much you learn, how it is prestigious, etc.--but when you get down to it, you just are expected to do shit work for free (mostly cite-checking for people who have submitted articles for publication), and the schools have figured out how to get the best, hardest-working students to WANT to do it. It is a scam. (I didn't make many friends in that group)

    ha, yeah, the people who tout the experience are all either currently going through it or have recently gone through it . . . i feel like they just have put the blinders on, because they will explode if they come to the realisation that they've been had--kind of like how Capt. Kirk always got those computers to self-destruct by telling them they were illogical.

    If Obama releases his transcripts, people will just call him an elitist, and say he is just trying to rub it into McCain's and Palin's faces that they did shitty in college.

    What we do know if that Obama was a good enough student to be able to transfer into Columbia University. What we also know is that Obama was a good enough student to get into Harvard Law School. What we also know is that he was smart enough to graduate magna cum laude from Harvard Law. What we also know, is that he was the most talented man at Harvard Law because he became the president of the Law Review.

    That is about the weakest thing I've ever heard. It is customary for all presidential candidates to fully release their records. That Obama has not done so is highly suspicious. Some think that he is hiding many of his records because they will reveal that he was not born in the United States, which would disqualify him from running for President.

    Yup, he's definitely witholding his records because he is afraid that they might show that he was not born in the United States.

    Really? I don't recall ever seeing any candidate's transcript. I know that Kerry and Bush's GPAs were either leaked or released, but if the transcripts were released they'd be all over the internets. Maybe I just missed them?

    Some people think Bush plotted 9/11, too. Conspiracy theories, gotta love em.
