A couple old folk songs about trains are "People Get Ready" and "Railroad Bill"

There's also Bob Dylan, "It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry" and The Band, "Just Another Whistle Stop."

I mean, I don't think the shooter was talking about the mentalist.

"US Male" by Elvis Presley. At least some of his other bad songs are funny. This one just sucks.

I've seen some of the videos online. Some degree mills will let you CLEP (and adjacent services) your way to a degree in General Studies (or Liberal Studies, or Multidisciplinary Studies, or whatever). A lot of the time, it's a degree in nothing in particular from a school nobody's heard of. It's not particularly useful, but better than nothing.

You get what you pay for. I'm not sure who is cheating who: the students, who think they've found a way to beat the system, or the schools, who make a quick buck in exchange for a degree of dubious value.
