in response to Weezil:

Lol... grasping are we?

The purchases of the above items items DO net revenue to the university, and these revenues mostly go to the same general funds/ accounts that "contributions" go to. So, WRONG.

"wish to thank Al Gore..... for allowing the university to honor him for his service"
"ALLOWING" the university to honor him???... lol. What a great & selfless man he is, to ALLOW the university (actually the Trustees) to give him a B.S. "degree". (and in this context, "B.S." does NOT mean "Bachelor of Science")

I know you lefties are just thrilled about this political gift from Trustee Doug Horne - but as my grandfather told me :
"You can polish a turd until it shines... but at the end of the day, all you have is a shiny turd".

Weezil, do you include your concession stand receipts when you file your income tax? Do you include your game ticket stubs? Do you include your shopping receipts from Hound Dog and Tennessee Traditions? They may net revenue for the university but, in no way, are they contributions to the university any more than buying groceries is a contribution to Krogers. So, you yourself are WRONG.

Yes, I am thrilled about Gore receiving an honorary degree from UT. I think it is well deserved and if it makes you cringe, then that's even better.
