The Dixie Chicks aren't the only Texas natives bashing President George W. Bush.

Sandy Duncan who is performing in South Carolina, told a local paper that she questioned the decision to go to war, and wishes that rather than President Bush, the United States had a leader who was 'globally aware' and 'really smart.'

'I just wish men would quit thinking they could just duke it out with each other,' the native of Henderson, Texas, told the Times and Democrat.

'I don't have all of the facts, and who knows what's really the truth, but I really don't respect [President Bush's] way of dealing with this situation.

It would be great to have someone really, really smart in that office, and someone who is globally aware.'

[Wondervixen]

From Sinead Saranwrap, whose career is sinking faster & faster by the "SEE-BS Sunday Night Movie" minute, to Sandy "Funny Face" Duncan, whose career (aside from the hoity-toity Stage) has been wormfood for twenty years...Yeah, nothing but the most qualified pundits!

[b-cubed]

Just wanted to let you know that I get it even if nobody else does.

The article on Lon Morris College does not give the origin of the name.

LON MORRIS COLLEGE. Lon Morris College was founded in 1854 as the New Danville Masonic Female Academy near Kilgore. In 1873, under the leadership of Dr. Isaac Alexander,qv a young Methodist minister, the school moved into Kilgore and became Alexander Institute. It was a private school until 1875, when it became a part of the East Texas Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The school was moved to Jacksonville in 1894 and given the property of the Sunset Academy, a private school owned by a Jacksonville education organization, as an inducement to move. In Jacksonville it operated under the name Alexander Collegiate Institute. It was accredited by the Texas Department of Education in 1884 and by the University of Texas in 1895. The Twin Towers Building on the present campus on College Avenue was completed in 1909, and the school began to offer a junior college curriculum that same year. It was accredited by the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and by the Texas Department of Education. After the institution received an endowment from R. A. "Lon" Morris, a Methodist lay preacher and banker in Pittsburg, Texas, it became Lon Morris College in 1924. In 1927 Lon Morris College became the first junior college in Texas accredited by the Southern Association of Schools and Colleges, and two years later it also became the first approved for a chapter in Phi Theta Kappa, a national junior college honor society. The Texas Historical Commissionqv recognized Lon Morris College as the oldest junior college in Texas in 1972 and approved a marker for the campus. Lon Morris is also the only one of the pre-Civil War schools in East Texas still in existence. In 1935, when the college faced severe financial difficulties during the Great Depression,qv Cecil E. Peeples took over as president. Through his nearly four decades of leadership, the college was able to erect a modern plant of twelve permanent buildings and increase its permanent endowment to more than $8 million. In 1976 Faulk Landrum was appointed president. In 1986 a new chapel was added to the campus. The college offers courses in three division: fine arts, humanities, and sciences. Enrollment in the fall of 1998 was 321, with thirty-five faculty. The president was Clifford M. Lee.

And she is famous for.......what?

Having one eye?

[Stultis]

Hmmmm. As persuasive as Miss Duncan is, I'm withholding judgement until the opinions of Rodney Allen Ripey, and that guy who played Horshack in Welcome Back Kotter are in.

[Theodore R.]

Lon Morris was a Pittsburg, TX, banker and lay preacher of the 1920s.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

and so was her career.

[N. Theknow]

Thank yew! :)

[wbill]

Ooo Ooo! Mr Kottah! Mr Kottah! Lemme talk bad about our president! OOOOOooooo!

[NittanyLion]

It would be great to have someone really, really smart in that office, and someone who is globally aware.'

That's the standard I should be using. In 2004 I'm going to forgo trying to calculate the net effect of Social Security privatization and instead concentrate on determining whether the various candidates are really smart.

Hey....watch it buddy....:-)

LOL! My father-in-law has a glass eye...
Back when my wife & I were just dating, we were horsing around in his house one day and he was standing nearby.

I said to her, "It's all fun and games until someone gets an eye poked out!".
He thought it was funny, though. I even got invited over again. :)

FYI and for what it is worth, interesting comments from:

http://www.mail-archive.com/ctrl@listserv.aol.com/msg30805.html

According to cognitive psychologist and IQ testing expert, Charles Murray (co-author of The Bell Curve with R Hernstein)

"A Verbal 566 puts Bush at about the 95th percentile of juniors & seniors ..., while 640 on Math puts him at about the 98th percentile."

Comments from author go further to say:

"In other words, only one out of 20 people would out perform the candidate on the verbal part of the test, and only one out of 50 on the numeric portion. Although SAT scores and IQ scores do not coincide perfectly, Bush's SAT score would roughly project to an IQ in the 125-130 range."

"Thus, all the sneering at Bush's 1206 says less about him than it does about the IQ snobbery rampant among supposedly egalitarian liberals, especially among neo-liberal journalists."

[RockBassCreek]

yep...Kizzy...I remember the name now.

What in the world has she done lately, and why should anyone care what she thinks?

Are we into the opinions of unemployed actors now? If so, let's call in Ed Asner for some more big laughs. He's a real nimrod.

[freedombrigade]

Does she have a website to Freep?

[wbill]

....Greg Brady's cousin Oliver....

Believe it or not, he was on a VH1 special the other night. He's now a waste-of-space 'session musician' in LA. Still trying to trade in on the Brady Buch thing. Must be hard to hit your peak at age 7.

[FirstTomato]

What a relief! I had no idea of what to think of the President until Sandy Duncan finally spoke out! (sarcasm off)

Notice these left-wing women like to rant against men, and against violence, and yet they happily advocate the murder of unborn, innocent babies?

Doesn't make a lot of any sense.

[Moby Grape]

Oh how I wish the liberals were more "REALITY" aware.

[ewing]

The Love Boat was great, it was the only way to keep up with these has been celebs!

[Theodore R.]

Enrollment in the fall of 1998 was 321

This would make Lon Morris perhaps the smallest college in enrollment in the nation, right?
