Obama's speech goes on to say that titles (especially honorary degrees) don't matter. Amazing speech, I was there. It was worth the four hour wait. The whole thing was more of a rock concert than a commencement. BTW - Alice...

Q: "Lastly . . . . . can't we all just agree that ASU not giving the Pres the "honorary degree" because of a perceived lack of qualifications/experience is flat-out hilarious?" A: No. Because neither Obama nor anyone else with a life gives a shit. Try not to loose too much sleep cause of this Shiny....
. . . I like how all of a sudden it's all about "nobody cares - why make such a big deal Shiny - nobody gives a shit" . . . when at the start of this journey/thread it was filled with "debate" as to the legitimacy of ASU's denial of the Coffee Mug Degree. Now it's all - who cares anyway and please shut up. But I care. I do. I really do. You know why I care? Because you Just. Can't. Make. This. Shit. Up. Comedy/hilarity is where you find it, and it's funniest when it's real...
Thank you, E. Given the high quality of Comedy Verite coming out of ASU these days, your finding me funnier / more absurd than that . . . well all I can say is Thank You. My job is done . . ....
I never really entered into the debate about whether ASU's snub of the President was justified, Shiny. I have simply responded in kind to your repeated attacks on ASU as a legitimate university and the insults you continue to hurl my way as an ASU graduate. Go back and read your original 'factoids' versus the 'Second Elephant' commentary you chose to add. That is where I have taken issue with you. The only thing that I have questioned was your conclusion that ASU set up the President so that they could deliberately snub him. Right. Good one, ASU ... the...
Tim, Sorry I insulted your alma mater. I suppose I'd get riled up if somebody insulted mine. Sorry about that. My alma mater didn't snub the prez (deliberate or not), but if it did, I can see people taking pot shots at my dear old school. And I'd get upset at them, too, those (theoretical) bastards. So, just trying to see it from your perspective, sorry for dissing your school. ASU is a fine institution, I have no doubt. And I'm sure it had awesome reasons to not award the honorary degree to the president of the US. Ok, sorry...
