I just found out that my this year's commencement speak is...
...Condoleeza Rice.

Thankfully, I am graduating next year, but that isn't stopping the protests. I've heard rumor that the professors are hella pissed and are going to cook something big up to protest this war-mongering shrew.

3. Boston College
Our President is a war-profiteer. He owns a shitload of stock of a weapons developer, Raytheon, and is one of the only catholic university president not to condemn the Iraqi War.

2. Fuck that, my commencement speaker on May 13th will be John Cornyn
The guy who equated gay marriage with giving license to anyone who wants to marry a box turtle.

Also known as the "Enron Judge" because he let them get away with whatever they wanted.

Stellar guy.

9. Texas State, Huh?
I really haven't gotten very comfortable with that name, I had a certain warm spot in my heart for good old SWTSU... Of course I date from a time so long ago I saw them do Beacon City there...

Sneak in some air horns, they are remarkably effective in interrupting speeches.

Just ask Lamar! Alexander when he came by New Hampshire i nthe 90's.

15. Yes! Reminds me of a protest against Reagan we did when he
was CA governor. Hundreds of folks with blown-up balloons, rubbing them while he talked. Ever hear the sound of 400 rubbed balloons squeaking? It's great! Reagan was furious, called us all "radicals."

17. Here at Ohio State Univ.
They picked McCain for the graduating class of 2006. Heads you win, tails I lose as to which one is worse. OK, thinking about it, you won, but not by much.
