Obama also misuses words. A few weeks ago he was talking about some problem and used the word enormity. He really meant large. How he was ever accepted at Harvard I’ll never know.

Oh, I'd bet you can figure it out. :-)

There's a reason why The One has had all of his records sealed or destroyed. And it's not because he humbly wanted to avoid showing off all the amazing work he did.

Well, Harvard did invite Al Franken (a Harvard grad) to give the 2002 Class Day address.

Included in his oration: I want to take this moment to congratulate today's Ivy Orators, Taii Bullock and Jeremy Bronson, on your very funny remarks. You're terrific. Where are you? Taii? (APPLAUSE) I was, ironically, the Ivy Orator twenty-nine years ago. And I'm afraid I used the "f" word quite a few times in my speech. It was 1973. And a couple weeks later I received a note through the class marshal's office from an outraged parent, saying, "We came to watch you graduate from college, not from kindergarten." I've always felt kinda bad about that, and I was hoping to be invited back so that I could apologize.

Sic transit Harvard.

How about finding out your tattoo artist is illiterate.
