What's in a name?

What's it say that the budget of M. Jodi Rell, governor of the great state of Connecticut, proposes the elimination of the Permanent Commission on the Status of Women?

That's what makes the State of Connecticut the GREAT State of Connecticut

Word came down from our Dean that the Governor of Connecticut, M. Jodi Rell, in order to help with the huge deficit that we're facing, has prohibited all future purchases of periodical subscriptions (what possibly could academic departments need with such things?), promotional materials (pens, t-shirts, et al.), and window cleaner.

That should shave off millions!
