Son graduated college in 1996. Had to listen to the speaker bash Jesse Helms.
Made me sick to listen to the idiot.
My nephew graduated in 95 and I had to listen to America bashing in general. However, at least there was a prank at the ceremony.....streaker girl runs on stage, shakes her huge wally's at the graduates, then runs off. I went from frown to smile in seconds, although I absolutely do NOT approve of public nudity, but if its going to forced on me then a cute lady with big ones makes it less offensive.
Jesse Helms was a true gentleman...and a great lover of his country and its people
