It seems to me there is a reason Patsy Cline is so ridiculed. I don't know anything about the situation, but standing by one's man, so to speak, does not necessarily mean one is innocent. It may meam the institution itself is incompetent or corrupt.

See Enron, et al.

That's true, but I do have a lot of respect for the school and I'm inclined to trust them on this. Again, I may be proven wrong but for now I feel like I have to give them and Albert the benefit of the doubt.

A conversation I don't even need you for.

Me: Adelphi sucks. You know it, I know it and the American people know it.

You: You suck.

Me: I most certainly do not.

It seems to me there is a reason Patsy Cline is so ridiculed.

And it seems to me you are Crazy. Both Patsy Cline and Tammy Wynette had long and successful careers. Their songs still are, and will always be, popular.

Come on. I thought my Patsy Cline reference was clever.

Of course she had a long and successful career.

But you can't tell me the idea of "standing by your man" is often stupid and injurious.

You got your singer/songwriters mixed up. Wynette wrote Stand By Your Man (she left him by the way). Cline is famous for Crazy.

I wouldn't call it stupid and injurious in that it merely reflects a mind set that is still prevelant today.

p.s.: I use to live in Chinatown. You shd hear Stand By Your Man in Chinese.

Cline sang the song. See here.

Whether she wrote it, I don't know.

Every country western singer has sung that song. However, Tammy Wynette wrote it and it was, and still is, her signature piece.

How did alleged corruption in a brooklyn school become a discussion about country music? In the spirit of things i will add my 2 cents. When ever the topic of country music comes I find myself either speaking fondly of or agreeing with the sentiment that the "old stuff" is pretty damn good, however aside from The Man in Black there are always 100 songs i'd rather listen to. Special exceptions are made for The Oakridge Boys, Hank williams Jr. and some others who had catchy tunes from the 80's.

I am happy to hear you finally came to your senses or is it that someone finally put you in your place? Nonetheless, Al deserved the benefit of the doubt from the get go but I am glad you were big enough to apologize~

'Jane', c'mon now, 'in my place'? Ok, all I'm going to say to you on the matter is that blogs log IP addresses so I know who you are. Thanks for visiting, I agree it was big of me to apologize, but nobody puts baby in a corner. :-)

Why do you need to apologize for posting your
opinion? It sounds to me like someone has been intimidating you. Excellent job backing down. It's not like you have the first ammendment to back you up or anything. This blog has really lost its credability.

Wow, a commenter who has never commented before no longer finds me credible. That's funny. Anyway, no intimidation, I honestly just felt bad about the whole thing. And, I felt kind of stupid when I found out Adelphi was standing by Albert. So, feeling bad and feeling stupid leads me to be sorry. And there you have it.

No, what's really funny is that Al's mommy is on Adelphi's Board of Trustees...that's why they are backing him.

Carlo - you need to get a life and recall where your bread is buttered! Ironically you have no problem working there?

Hey Karol,

Why did you remove my comment from June 6th, 2006? I thought all points of view were welcome. I also noticed you removed the apology you wrote in February. Funny how it was there yesterday and now its gone.

I do not remove comments though I admit that I sometimes have problems with my comment system, though haven't had any lately. Perhaps you pressed preview instead of post? And my apology is still here...you're commenting on that very post.

Perhaps you are not so good with the whole internet using thing? They never taught me that at Adelphi either.
