G

It is kinda 6 of one, 1/2 dozen of the other. They both have a pretty solid chunk of change. I mean, its not like either one of us are Bob Jones or Liberty or anything

Are you all in contention for a presidential library? Just thought I'd ask.

Again, I have the power to change SMU's endowment on wikipedia to $3B today if I wanted to. As long as wikipedia doesn't atribute that number to a source, it doesn't mean anything.

To believe you and wikipedia, you have to believe that over one year, TCU's endowment jumped $90,000,000.00 while every other school in the nation's endowments, not just SMU's, stayed exactly the same. Sorry if I am skeptical of that claim.

Corp, I hope you are an attorney, and I hope I face you in court sometime, I can just see the judge laughing at you for rcelying on wikipedia for statements of the law upon which you base your arguments.

A presidential library is a presidential library.

At least, we won't have a double-wide for our library. You've been hanging around with thos pascifists in Europe for too long. The EU might as well be the P-U.

Double-wide for our library? What's that suppost' to mean?

Based on your comment, I can only believe you swore allegiance to this president's predecessor. Double-wide meaning what the one in Little Rock, Arkansas is built from.

I personally am not into the political scene like I used to be because the whole process is waste of time.

I am a registered Republican; I felt, and possibly still feel, that President Bush did an exceptional job in his 1S. However, I am now seriously questioning his purpose, his meaning.

And yes, I thought Clinton did a wonderful job, as well.

And by wonderful you mean.. Women's Golf?

You, who started with no credibility, lost what you did not have by suggesting Clinton did a wonderful job. That is ridiculous.

NACUBO is the recognized third party ranker of endowments. 2005 was compiled and distributed in January of 06. 2006 results will not be published until January 2007.

If you go to the NACUBO website you will find that SMU is ranked ahead of TCU in size of endowment (and yes size matters - sorry Stallion). The last report - 1.1013 billion for SMU and 941,798 million for TCU.

Interesting that the Wikidedia reference from the toad above had the correct SMU figure but a TCU figure that was altered to be just ahead of us. - Interesting, as in someone is lying.

Statistically it is true that they are pretty close. But SMU has a larger endowment.

The figure I gave you came directly from our wonderful trustees here at TCU--though you're right on about the released statistics, what I gave you concerned our fiscal year to-date.

Politically, we'll never agree, and we shouldn't. But, can you honestly say that President Bush has done his fit in Office?
