I would be embarassed if I raised children like that.

I agree. Especially when you consider they are Yale graduates and nearly 23 years of age.

.... I agree. Especially when you consider they are Yale graduates and nearly 23 years of age."

If one of my kids (including my own twin girls!) becomes a graduate of a highly rated college like Yale I wouldn't be embarassed. (I'd be pretty amazed though at how they afforded it!)

I agree with one of the punsters though - the guy who wrote the speech will be working in the hinterlands from now on. I can just imagine some old guy trying to act "hip" and "groovy" going over the material resources. And Laura no doubt had heard it before and gave it the okay.

Well keep your kids away from any half-way decent educational institution then, because that is how they might turn out. Folks who have this in their blood for countless generations have a habit of laughing at themselves and look down their noses at prigs who take themselves too seriously.
