People are always warning you against these things, but here’s one diploma mill grad who’s really going places!
… One by one, Gov. Crist has summoned the contestants on his not-so-short list of finalists to replace Mel Martinez. After private interviews, he’s trotted them out to stand before the cameras and publicly declare their admiration for Crist and to tout their assets.
… [Among the nine finalists for Senator is] State Rep. Jennifer Carroll of the Jacksonville-area. A conservative African-American Navy veteran, Carroll would surely earn Crist a huge burst of glowing national attention for looking like a new breed of Republican. But Carroll is no stand-out in the Legislature (and she once claimed an MBA from a diploma mill called Kensington University that was later ordered closed). She could be a risky, unpredictable choice.
Aw c’mon. It’s the last frontier! And after that, who knows? President?

From C. M. Kornbluth’s "The Marching Morons," a classic science fiction story about a future in which idiots have outbred everybody else:
"–latest from Washington. It’s about Senator Hull-Mendoza. He is still attacking the Bureau of Fisheries. The North California Syndicalist says he got affydavits that John Kingsley-Schultz is a bluenose from way back. He didn’t publistat the affydavits, but he says they say that Kingsley-Schultz was saw at bluenose meetings in Oregon State College and later at Florida University. Kingsley-Schultz says he gotta confess he did major in fly casting at Oregon and got his Ph.D in game-fish at Florida."
