10 reasons why bill clinton, our speaker, should not have been invited to speak.

i could add ten more, but what the hell? he offered a good speech. mary sue, our first female president, offered a good one too. [bill clinton made a big deal of her being the first female president and how nice that phrase sounds... maybe he was thinking of segolene royal?] and the LSA dean terry mc donald's reflections on citizenship were right on point. i stood and clapped for him. the undergrad speaker, a phi bete from bloomfield, abdul al-somebody, totally rocked it and all the liberals in the big house were so pleased that a colorful, smart muslim man, a lacrosse player at that, roused the crowd.

big up to mary anne who secured the ticket to the regents' VIP section for me. i sat with lydia and sophia and enjoyed myself. it was even worth getting up and out and wading through the crowds.
