I should be remiss if I did not point out for yinz consideration that the tandemocracy of Dmitry Medvedev and Vladimir Putin both have degrees from LSU but that the bad one of the tandem, Poots,   is the only one with a connection to Pennsylvania. It is not known if the "Pennsylvania Paradox" of mediocrity applies to one who stole his dissertation from a university in Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, or if one cannot steal, or "steel," get it? and thereby attain Pennsylvania mediocrity, or if one has to actually, like, graduate--honestly--from a Pennsylvania learned institution. The Pennsylvania connection however, is disconcerting, and hurts my head.
