					<description><![CDATA[In his case, how is five degrees to get the title &#039;dott&#039; (not even a proper doctorate, but a Maltese law degree) good? 

As in, why would you boast about it? 

Five degrees generally means you&#039;re confused about life, who you are and what you want to do. Dumbass has 5 degrees and hasn&#039;t yet learned respect. 

A degree is not a life medal to show off about. It&#039;s proof of academic competence in a certain area. So far all he&#039;s shown is that he&#039;s a Jack of those trades and a major jack-off.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Wait a second. Aaron Farrugia has a B.Comm and M.A. European Studies. That makes two degrees. 

Then like many of his older Labour cohorts, he decided to read for a degree in law (&lt;em&gt;biex jasal u isir Dott&lt;/em&gt;), in which technically you graduate three times, L.L.B., Notary Public, and finally L.L.D. 

Those are his &quot;five degrees&quot;.

If so desperately wanted to be called &#039;dott&#039;, why didn&#039;t he go for a doctorate - a PhD? 

But then with that reasoning of his, this means that Beppe Fenech Adami, a lawyer, also has &quot;three degrees&quot; and not one.

Anyway, Aaron hasn&#039;t yet graduated as a lawyer, so he has &quot;four degrees&quot;. Presumably, he will now write his thesis in the comfort of his Malta Freeport Corporation offices, or the CEO will give himself leave of absence to stay home and do it there. Or maybe he&#039;ll just burn the midnight oil, ghax dak, taf int, self made.

Somebody with a bit more sense than he has should take him aside and gently explain to him the concept of good manners, always important in a CEO (and anyone else). Only really crass people boast that way. A self-made man doesn&#039;t self-tell us this fact.]]></description>

Five degrees: I think they would be a worthless BA or MA in European studies, then like every aspiring politician a BA in law, diploma notary public (wow!) and LLD (imagine that! like Charlon Gouder!).

And like most aspiring politicians he counts each and every silly degree. Bet his business card has them listed like a crap tourist menu in Bugibba. 

Although that makes four and I heard he hasn&#039;t submitted his LLD thesis yet. But that could just be malicious gossip.]]></description>

Tidher li m&#039;ghandekx hames degrees inti hi.

Mnejn igibu l-informazzjoni l-istudenti tal-lum?

Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Farrugia

Incidentally, one of Dr Farrugia&#039;s theses is about foreign direct investment.  Guess whose pet subject FDI is.  Guys and dolls, we have a Mini Me Muscat in the making.  Don&#039;t laugh him off as a redneck AH. Remember that there&#039;s another one running the country. And six years ago, he was just like our Aaron here.]]></description>
