[Gosh I love this neighborhood]

Given that nothing is more boring than the standard, “approved” graduation speech, I’d be happy to see a trend of hymn-singing or reading of classic evangelistic sermons among graduates. Ballroom dance performances would be okay, too.

Amen to that. I do not like sitting through graduation speeches.

If a valedictorian was honest he could say, “Even with my grades and test scores, I couldn’t get a full scholarship, because I’m a white male. I don’t want to run up a lot of debt for a useless degree, so I’m going to study online. With my brains, I still have a good chance of long term success. The rest of you, good luck in the Obama economy. You’re going to need it.”
