Readin', Writin', 'n' Tannin'
From the AP, Rutgers paid "Snooki" of the reality show "Jersey Shore" $32K on Thursday to "dish on her hairstyle, fist pumps, as well as the GTL - gym, tanning, laundry - lifestyle." That's $2K more than the $30K they're paying Nobel-winning novelist Toni Morrison to deliver their commencement address in the late Spring. The money came from Rutgers mandatory student activity fee, reports the AP.







ugh.. gross! And, have you seen Snooki? I'm thinking she does a lot more of the T than the G in that GTL lifestyle of hers.

That's just wonderful. And the thing is, she'll do it all for free if you just point a camera at her.

Which suggests only that they're both overpaid.
Morrison's writing is horrible - and a Nobel for literature has long been meaningless, if not always.
I wouldn't go see either speak, or actively support an administration that paid either that kind of money.

How about Nicole delivers the address and Morrison goes on JS?

I can hardly blame Snooki for taking the gig and the money (why shouldn't she?); I'd be really ticked if I were a student and that was where my student activity fees were going.

But paying Bristol Palin 20 grand to speak on the virtues of abstinence is "expensive".
I cannot fathom any way in which Snooki is superior to Bristol. But apparently colleges think otherwise.

I'd take it if I were here - in a hot second.

Remember what they say about what happens with fools and their money.
