Eric Greitens, Missouri’s new governor, is coming in with
guns blazing. The man whose campaign ads featured him firing rifles vowed to
cut the state budget, and he’s starting with the easy target: Higher Education.
I give Greitens points for not allowing public funding to be
used for the proposed soccer stadium; but surely there are other items in the
budget that could bear scrutiny as well. Instead of actually studying the
budget and reducing waste, he simply picked Higher Education as the default
budget-slash item.
Governor, you’re a Rhodes scholar. You of all people know
the value of education. Stop firing from the hip and use your head.

Now that I’m taking the Twitter challenge, here’s what this
post would look like if I tweeted it:
Rhodes scholar elected governor of
Missouri, immediately cuts funding to Higher Education.
