Democrat commencement speakers outnumber Republicans 57 to 26. And that lopsided score doesn’t include ten members of Obama’s cabinet scheduled to make speeches this spring. (They aren’t included because cabinet positions are theoretically non-partisan… snicker.)

  • On Obama's commencement address: "He told the young graduates
    their future is bright unless, of course, they want jobs."

    • Ghosite, is that a cloud leopard on your avatar? Back to the subject at hand: Why are we the only ones who comit war crimes? There was a coalition of sorts in Iraq. Why aren't they picketing the British Embassy? Or any of the other countries who participated. Our favorite dictator disappeared, tortured and kills his people on a whim. He bombed the Kurds with chemical weapons (whcih proves to me he had WMD) and stole the population blind to suit he own ego. Why do they never mention that. We have not waged a winning war since WWII. I do not like war. I think it should be a use when there is no alternative chpice. But if we are going to commit people, sopplies. materiel, weapons on a war, then actually wage it. Was in MacArthur who said never start a war you do not intend to win? Or something like that?

    • Roughly 50 Rutgers University students staged a sit-in at a school administration building

      The sit-in was one of the largest in Rutgers' history, according to The Daily Targum, a student newspaper.

      BWAHAHAHA!!!
      50 students make up one of the largest protests in school history?
      41,500 full- and part-time students; 31,500 full- and part-time undergraduates; 10,000 full- and part-time graduate students means .0012% of the students participated in this protest. Hardly a consensus.

  • Another lost narrative: it is as if the Repubs are playing tidily winks while the Dems are playing Russian roulette. The RNC really needs to get it's sxit together. "Prince" is not worth a dime of the money he is being paid when stuff like this is not challenged and trends are NOT reversed.

  • You can't have someone come onto your campus and tell those who are graduating that most of all their college education is worthless. That would force the administration and professors to re -evaluate themselves and what they are teaching. Which would just crush their over inflated egos.
