...one more time. The simple simple facts in this simple case...

1. On his own website Dadeeshoo lists "Pacific Western University" as the place he received his doctorate from.

2. The GAO issued a report on its invesitgation of several diploma mills among which it listed Dadeeshoo's "university". These are basically scams that offer something called a "degree" for "life experiences" plus cash. The GAO concluded that not only are these "universities" not accredited or recognized by any legitimate educational institution, but they offer no courses in anything...they give out degrees for money...the hook being that your "life experiences" can take the place of everything and get you an entire degree.

3. The Modesto Bee also looked into Dadeeshoo's claims and found them to be false...all the places he listed on his resume were shown to never have heard of him and they reached the same conclusion: that whatever advanced "degrees" Dadeeshoo had were bogus...either he never attended or completed any course work and thus was never awarded any degree...or he bought his degree from a diploma mill.

4. Dadeeshoo's response to this was to threaten to sue the newspaper...rather than produce his degree and demand an aopology and retraction. That's because he knows better than anyone that his doctorate is bit of foolishness.

5. There is no legitimate insitution in the world that is authorized to hand out entire degrees...let alone doctorates, based on your life experience or "books" written. You can get some course credit...but no complete degree. Indeed legitimate insitutions are known to hand out honorary degrees...but everyone knows what they are really worth...more a recognition of serious lifetime achievement rather than something you claim as an earned degree in the subject matter. Doctor of Humantities is a common category..but no one gets an Honorary Doctorate in engineering or medicine...that he THEN tries to get a job with...they are clearly marked HONORARY...and Dadeeshoo has no such thing. It's obvious to all that he was trying to spiff himself up a bit because the people impressed by him can also be easily fooled...if you do it well enough.

6. Maggie has said herself that she has to "work with him" in order to maintain her teevee show on his sattelite...obviously she feels she has to work overtime. No one accused Dadeeshoo of anything that was false..on the contrary, it is Dadeeshoo who makes the false claims...sure, you can CALL any piece of paper you want to a "degree"...like you can call a tomato a "guitar"..if you want to...but it makes lousy music all the same. Why Maggie wants to insist that Dadeeshoo's tomato is really a guitar...and Tiglath and I should INVESTIGATE tomatoes further to see if they can be guitars...and the squishy noise they make when played is as good as the sounds of a real guitar...I don't know.

7. I don't apologize to damfools.
