Should've Seen This Coming

Have you ever read something and thought to yourself "I really should've seen this one coming." If not, then, way to go. But if you have, then you'll understand my reaction when I read this article on CNN.com.

As a fellow commencement speaker myself (I had the bigger in-house audience, not to rub it in or anything), I feel bad for President Bush that he had to put up with those protestors at a college graduation ceremony. I'm glad I didn't have to deal with crazy people holding signs that read "Tom's a Dummy" (which, by the way, you can get on e-Bay for $5.95...they're even laminated for $1 extra!) and marching outside Hancher Auditorium on Saturday morning while I spoke.

If the President had been discussing war policy (which would've been a very bad idea, I was worried my sandcastle metaphor would be boring enough as it is), I could understand. But protestors at commencement? Gimme a break.

Secondly, how delicious is the quote from a Mr. Ronny Menzie? "I didn't finish my thesis because I didn't want my graduation with him." Really? You didn't finish your thesis because W was in town for the ceremony? You couldn't just finish your stupid paper and say "The heck with this school, I'll get my diploma in the mail 6 months from now"? Now I've heard my share of great excuses for people who want to stick around for a fifth year, and some are even legit. This isn't one of them.

And don't get me wrong, I think it's great that older students like Mr. Menzie (age 35) come back and finish their degrees. They pay attention in class, they do their homework, they tend not to end up passed out on the sidewalk outside Burge with their pants around their ankles at 2 AM on a Sunday morning. But people like him give people like them a bad name.

I would consider it a privilege if you would add my blog www.blacktygrrrr.wordpress.com to your list of links if you feel it is of a high quality.

A peaceful Memorial Day to you.

All those who are willing to purchase Coach Purses
, bag or clutches should try to find the discount vouchers that ranges from 10 % to 25 %. Such vouchers enable the client to save hundred dollars on purchasing the handbag.
Another idea for reaping the benefit of Coach Gallery
is to visit a store or the website during off-season.
There are few coach websites on internet that offer outlet coupons that can be printed as well. These outlets also offer some shopping programs that enable the access of the clients to many promotions and exclusive sales. The winner of Coach Hamptons
has the choice of using these discounts at any Coach Legacy
store.
as gift but are unable to do so at regular stores for cash.
