   Love how the Houston Chronicle reporter actually knew who she was but didn’t think it pertinent to the story. Effin’ dirt bags, the lot of ‘em.

   It’s just not fair that you have to spend all that time and money to get those letters after your name. Everybody should have the absolute right to put whatever on their resume. MD, JD, PhD, Professor, President.

   Just like ol’ Doc Churchill, or “whats his name” that Community Organizer in Chief guy. Set’em up, degrees all around, on the house.

   Perhaps I should use the old Idi Amin one “Doctor Professor Field Marshal President for Life”?

   See, comrades? The Won has already increased our access to health care. There are now more doctors than ever before!

   I agree with Geoffb in #3: it’s not fair that we have to actually, you know, work for the titles we want and need. From now on, please refer to me as COL Seth.

   At ease, I’ll be in the area all day.

   Houston Chronicle reporter

   The piece to which you refer was not written by a reporter, but by a “journalist.” The difference is, quite simply, that a reporter reports — whereas the “journalist” in question did nothing of the kind.

   And as for titles, my name is my title. Deal with it.

    #5 LTC John:

    With Idi Amin I am reminded of the Three Stooges, where Moe was the dictator and Curly was the Goering character with all of the medals - including some fastened to the seat of his trousers.

    There is another story I remember. Dan Gallery, who commended the hunter-killer group that captured U-505, was in Iceland before that. He noted that British officers would have ‘DSO’ (or other award) after their names. So he put DDLV after his. A British officer asked what that meant and Gallery said it was sort of like a KCB (Knight Commander of the Bath - a British order). The officer expressed congratulations and asked again what it stood for. Gallery replied ‘Dan, Dan the Lavatory Man’.

    I suppose you had to do something for entertainment in Iceland.
