Factitious Disorder Dumbass was a "College Station, TX" student...you mean BAYLOR? Baptist Univ. ??
Why is it that ALL of the news items describing the psychologically and mentally challenged (she is a McCain supporter, you know) state that she is a College Station, TX. college student. Is there some sort of law against saying that this likely means that she was a student at BAYLOR UNIVERSITY, a prominent Baptist University. I guess the media doesn't want to associate Baptist with "crazy"??

WTF??

21. Probably, especially if she's orginally from the Bryan area
But who knows, she could have been planning to transfer to any university in Texas. :shrug:

22. Originally from Rochester, NY.
Would love to know how she ended up in CS and not at A&M.

24. Oh, well that adds a wrinkle
I would assume, probation from A&M and was trying to up her GPA to get back in.

27. At the A&M alumni boards, they've been furiously searching to find out if she EVER attended.
So far, nobody can find any evidence that she did. Closest guess is that she was trying to get her grades up via Blinn to get into A&M as a transfer.

30. Yeah, but that just seems stupid
But again, she's already proven she's not the brightest bulb.

I would have gone to a community college near where I grew up and then transferred to A&M, not move half way across the United States before I even know if I can get into the university.


BTW, back when I was 19 I dated an Aggie. I was a freshman at U North Texas and he was at A&M. That's a bitch of a drive. :)

17. It's a community college, most of the students attending are trying to get into A&M...
...by establishing a high GPA, and/or trying to get back into A&M after flunking out by raising their GPA at Blinn.

12. Nope--student at Blinn.
I've been to my alumni boards today, and nobody can find anything that says she was ever a student at A&M (and some of the more conservative members were on this hot & heavy yesterday when they still thought the story was true).

Just a Blinn student, not an Aggie.

23. have you ever heard of that school she goes to? I was in Houston this summer and my
friend's son was taking trips to different schools, A & M (doesn't have the grades) included, he's decided on Texas Tech because is a really far drive for his parents :-).

25. Blinn? Oh yeah.
It's where flunkouts go when they're trying to raise their GPA to get back into A&M. Or students whose GPA is too low to get into A&M in the first place.

We derisively refer to it as Blinndergarten.

9. OP Fail. Baylor's in Waco.
She's NOT an Aggie (A&M is in College Station), but a student at lesser-known Blinn Community College in CS.

36. The main branch is. So many A&M flunkouts attend that they opened a satellite campus in CS.
Fondly known as Blinndergarten.

18. Isn't that Tom Delay's alma mater?
Seems they aren't so good at instilling character at that university. Teaching 'em how to lie cheat and steal to get ahead, now that appears something the students learn, if we are to judge by some of their alumni.

31. Even if she did attend Baylor, what difference would it make?
So did Ann Richards and Willie Nelson.

40. I'm so thankful she wasn't actually an Aggie.
(I see everyone else cleared up your geography error.)

When I first read she was a student from College Station, I said SHIT. Of COURSE. So I'm pretty glad she's not an Aggie. If she were, she'd already be expelled for this shit.
