The Schrammie: A matter of degrees

The Schrammie: A matter of degrees

By Ken Schram

Just because someone gets an Ivy League education doesn't guarantee they won't go out and do something really stupid.

So, would Darcy Burner put that cap and gown back in the closet and come on down?

Darcy's been busy telling everyone that she loved economics soooo much that she went out and got a degree in economics from Harvard University.


Darcy Burner

Pretty high-falutin' and fancy, coming to the political party with a Harvard degree in economics.

That said, you should know that Darcy's story is a little dicey.

In short, Darcy fudged, fibbed, exaggerated, embellished, or if you prefer, flat out lied, about her Harvard degree in economics.

Though I'm sure she was telling the truth about how much she loves making things up.

Excuse me, I meant to say adding things up.

Wouldn't you know: For some reason, Darcy gets a little testy when challenged about her fictitious degree, saying even bringing the matter up is nothing but dirty politics.

I suppose Darcy figures it's unfair for someone to point out that she doesn't have what she never earned.

Whatever.

One thing is certain: You earned this Darcy Burner.

So please, take a bow, because this "Schrammie" is for you.
