The Party of "No"
Technorati and Me
Technorati is indexing me again! They had to make a code change to fix the problem with my blog getting stuck in their queue. Kudos to Eric M. and the guys at GetSatisfaction.com where they have "community powered support for Technorati".
Well, they're "sorta, kinda" indexing me anyway. It's on a 24 hour tape delay or something. So I never get picked up by Memeorandum because they pull from Technorati and Technorati has stuff I posted yesterday listed as my latest blog entry. And that's old news to Memeorandum.
Wankers.

Is your state college a five star resort?
Colleges and universities seem to be offering increasingly lavish amenities to attract students. Gourmet meals. Fitness centers. Concierge services. Upscale dorm rooms. Two 18 hole championship golf courses.
Wait a sec, did he just say "two 18 hole championship golf courses"?
Yes!
Welcome to the Seaview Resort, now owned and operated by Richard Stockton State College in Galloway, New Jersey.
And they just paid $20 million of our tax dollars to buy it!
The unusual deal means the South Jersey public college will add a hotel open to the public and two golf courses to its nearby campus. A section of the resort will also be turned into student housing.
"This is an historic day for Stockton and all of southern New Jersey," said Stockton President Herman Saatkamp Jr. "Stockton has partnered with Seaview in a variety of ways for nearly 40 years. We are now looking forward to having this magnificent facility as part of the Stockton family and operating at the same level people have come to expect of Seaview."
How magnificent is it? Let me put it this way, Animal House it ain't.
Situated in a charming seaside town of Galloway, Historic Seaview is the only golf and spa resort on the New Jersey Shore. Seaview offers guests an idyllic resort vacation, world class golf and a luxurious spa experience!
Home to two of New Jersey's oldest and most prestigious championship golf courses — the Bay Course offers more of a links experience while the Pines Course offer a more traditional layout. Seaview is the current home of the Shoprite LPGA Classic and former host of the PGA championship in 1942.
Hah! How many golf courses does Princeton have? But if Tiger Woods decides to send his kids here it'll so be worth the expense! Won't it?
Remember your crummy college cafeteria? Not at Stockton!
From casual outdoor cocktail parties to elegant weddings, Historic Seaview boasts event spaces as diverse as the Oval Room where Grace Kelly celebrated her Sweet Sixteen to the stunning Bayview Ballroom featuring an open air veranda and indoor seating for up to 350 guests.
Grace Kelly was here! It's a bargain at twice the price!
But wait, there's more! Seaview boasts a full-service Elizabeth Arden Red Door spa! Don't miss the Friday night seafood buffet, complete with sushi, lobster, raw bar, and king crab legs. Top that off with Sunday champagne brunch before hitting the links or one of their 3 indoor tennis courts. Then enjoy a refreshing dip in either of their two pools.
All of this (and more) can be yours when you enroll at Stockton for the low, low price of $5,696.74 per semester.
Our tax dollars at work play!
