Are you ready for some Commencement?!

10 05 2008

Woo hoo!

One week from today, we’ll all be participating in the University of St. Thomas’ Commencement Day activities… which means a day of getting bored by “Pomp and Circumstance” played incessantly (we’re praying for “Louie, Louie” instead), engaging in the “he/she only thinks that he/she is graduating game,” placing bets on the over/under for our President’s use of his favorite phrase “leaders of faith and character” in one speech, and… holding a game day tailgate party for our PoliSci students both before and after Commencement.

Heh. ;-)

In honor of the week ahead, we present P.J. O’Rourke’s recent editorial in the L.A. Times entitled “Fairness, idealism, and other atrocities: Commencement advice you’re unlikely to hear elsewhere.” Enjoy!
