Everybody is jumping all over that Aggie student who broke into an office to try to change his test answers.
Of course it was wrong, but will everyone please remember that he was taking management courses?
This schlep is just reflecting the values of Ken Lay, Jeffrey Skilling, Bernard Ebbers, Conrad Black, Michael Milken, Donald Trump, Bernie Madoff and many other tycoons who wear power ties, have trophy wives and enjoy weekends at Gstaad.
They didn’t amass their fortunes by playing fair. They bent the rules when they had to and then broke them if that wasn’t enough. Most of them got caught, many others haven’t been nailed yet.
This dumb Aggie reads about guys like that all the time and thinks to himself, “I’m going to be just like them — minus the part about getting arrested and doing the perp walk.”
No telling how much time the former student will get behind bars for his aborted caper.
If they put him in one of those minimum-security joints with a bunch of white collar criminals, he’s going to think he made a good career move after all.

If the lad had only studied as much as he burgled, he would have been okay.
I want to be a "Trophy Wife"! Is there an age limit or dress/thong size requirement? What about the final act of true wife-ness, doing the perp walk in front of the cameras when the dude gets busted dipping his wick in another flame, is that part of the deal?
