MINNEAPOLIS (The Borowitz Report)—A group of scholars who have been monitoring the descent of the bar over the past few decades have concluded that the bar can no longer be lowered, the scholars announced on Friday.
The academics, led by Professor Davis Logsdon, of the University of Minnesota, published their conclusion after their research definitively found that the bar had finally dropped to its lowest possible position.
“For those who thought the bar still had room to be lowered, our findings resoundingly contradict that assumption,” Logsdon said. “The bar is now essentially flush with the ground.”
Logsdon acknowledged that he and his fellow scholars have come under fire in the past for claiming that the bar could not be further lowered, specifically when they issued a paper to that effect after the selection of the Republican Vice-Presidential nominee in 2008.
“We got that one wrong,” he said. “Clearly, the bar still had a way to go.”
Now that the issue of whether the bar can be further lowered has been settled, Logsdon and his colleagues plan to examine the question of whether there is anything left to scrape at the bottom of the barrel. “Our findings are preliminary, but it appears that the answer is no,” he said.
Then move the goalposts. Stop comparing our schools to the top 30 developed countries and start comparing us to the bottom 30; that will help a lot. Make the Academics portion of public schools officially a secondary function after social propaganda.
Wouldn’t a pic of Hillary have been more appropriate.
“Logsdon and his colleagues plan to examine the question of whether there is anything left to scrape at the bottom of the barrel.”
The answer is yes, and they share responsibility for turning out the Progressive brainwashed graduates. Clearly these type of “elite scholars” suffer from the Dunning–Kruger effect. Mr. Logsdon should explain how colleges and universities can offer such courses as:
“What If Harry Potter Is Real?” (Appalachian State University)
“God, Sex, Chocolate: Desire and the Spiritual Path” (UC San Diego)
“GaGa for Gaga: Sex, Gender, and Identity” (The University Of Virginia)
“Philosophy And Star Trek” (Georgetown)
“Arguing with Judge Judy” (UC Berkeley)

I enjoyed this article:

Listening to the political talking heads on the radio today, they were discussing the trouble hilary is facing between her low poll numbers, Benghazi, her cozy connections with wall street, the way she distances herself from main stream America, and her emails etc etc etc…..
They laughed at bernie, and O’Malley, said now is the time for biden. And the bar has now fallen to the ground. [img

I live in Minneapolis. The state is filled with liberal cunt’s like Andy.
Our governor Dayton (uber liberal) (the same nut who was senator – who closed his office after 9/11) is so filled with psych drugs sometimes he can’t speak a coherent sentence.
Thanks to him and the other Dem’s for a huge tax increase. Then we have a surplus – that they want to spend.
Fuck Andy.
How fantastic is Trump’s hat? Screen printed (not even embroidered), a white velvety rope at the base of the brim, and a crown that sits high like hats sported by railroad conductors of yore. If there was ever a cap to hide that inglorious head of hair, this, my friends, is it.
“Bar Officially Cannot Be Lowered”
Not to worry. You demented Amerikans will find a way to lower it even more. You ALWAYS DO!
I thought we hit rock bottom when America re-elected an American hating pot head with known communist and terrorist ties but I’m sure Andy just loves him, and like most hi supporters would continue to support him after watching him rape his mother — but that’s what makes would-be elites like Andy better than the rest of us
i liked it better when the bar was high, lbj what a class act, wasn’t just satisfied murdering jfk he had to murder to improve his net worth
Lulu + 1,000. Trump is the worst candidate there is – except for all the others.
Obama claims he’s visited 57 states!

Trumps hat is awesome! After what Obama has done-tear America down and apart in a sea of corruption, and lies I know and see why Trump is a threat.He will clean house,no more phoney trials, or phony banker penalty to keep committing crime
