Steve Sailer writes<\/a>: One of the older American collegiate jokes is a college president promising to build a university worthy of its football team (this may go back to the U. of Maryland in the early 1950s).<\/p>\n

With the U. of Missouri football team firing the president and chairman of the board, it looks like Mizzou will get an administration worthy of its football team, which is 1-5 in conference play and has wracked up quite a record in recent years for sexual assault and domestic violence charges<\/a>…<\/p>\n

On the other other hand, Manhattan-born Paul Singer<\/a> uses his giving on Presidential candidates (it was front-page news when he endorsed Marco Rubio<\/a>), fundraise for the Manhattan Institute, push for gay marriage, Israel, and more immigration (for America, not Israel). But I can’t find any word of him donating to an American college football program. You can buy a lot of think tank staffers for the cost of first rate offensive coordinator.<\/p>\n

COMMENTS:<\/p>\n

* Mindless obsession with sports is the height of goyish stupidity. How can worldly middle-aged men take the \u201csuccess\u201d of a bunch of illiterate ghetto thugs as their personal success? Truly these are strange days.<\/p>\n

* I look at what institutions wealthy (or even just upper middle class) Southern White Republican donors give their money too and I just sigh. There is just very little regard for anything beyond even a five year time horizon. Most Americans still have the notion that these large institutions (government, academic and corporate) actually give fig about their well-being. I\u2019m sure they still think, for example, a company like GE always has America\u2019s best interest in mind.<\/p>\n

We may criticize Paul Singer but buying influence at places like Brookings or AEI goes much farther than donating money for an alumni center at FSU. Shame on us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
