Quiet Protest Greets Vice President Cheney at BYU
by Howard Berkes
NPR Morning Edition, April 27, 2007 · Vice President Dick Cheney delivered the commencement address Thursday at Brigham Young University. On a campus where dissent is unusual, about 100 people protested quietly ahead of Cheney's arrival. He told the audience to be prepared for the unexpected throughout life.

The crazy things people yell out of car windows...

I used to wonder who it is that is rude, and yells things out of car windows. Then, I went to high-school and realized it was me, and my friends. That was a wonderful realization.

But, I must say "traitors!," "losers!" and "we'll be praying for you!"? Come on guys, there is sooooo much more you could have yelled. Kids these days.

UUUgh...

Okay, this is not even funny anymore. Was it ever? This is just amazing. I cannot believe a) that Marc doesn't work for the SL Tribune (they should be filing a DMCA takedown with him soon... or me for substantial infringement...) b) that this is finally over
and c) that I still don't care.

Please note my comments below...

Warm Welcome For Cheney; Vice President Avoids Politics; Nader Urges BYU Grads To Serve Country

Warm welcome for Cheney: 20,000 cheer him repeatedly; he hails Y. accomplishment
Of course they applauded! President Hinkley was there!

Vice president avoids politics in speech to BYU grads
Thank goodness! Things could have gone to boring to boring-er.

Cheney demonstrators, pro and con, flock to traditionally quiet, conservative BYU
I was asleep before I finished the title.

Nader urges BYU grads to serve country, not seek profits
Hmm, $15,000 / 50 = $300 for each byu grad in attendance. Wow, I bet that was worth it. I know I would have loved to pay $300 more to attend commencement. The cap and gown cartel wasn't enough of a rip off for me.
"Ralph Nader encouraged graduates and more than a thousand supporters to seek a higher road and not be enticed by material promises." ... while pocketing his hard earned $15,000, and trying hard not to break into laughter at the insanity of it all.

Nader challenges decision to invite v.p.
'Cause I am sure that Cheney got paid more... (a degree for one, which, at BYU, typically costs about $12000)

Cheney on way to BYU after visit with LDS President Hinckley
News eh? I think Marc wanted to set a record for most boring articles in a single spam, but this one sunk to an all-time new low. I'll bet the Prophet has about 300 visits a year. I anticipate getting an email for each of these by the year 2008.

Honorary Degrees?

Here I am, slaving away on my "Doctorate" and some places are just giving them out? WTF? Does U.S. News do a ranking of best schools for hand-out honorary doctorates? Keep me posted.

What the BBQ club president could have done...

This story summarizes what our Beloved Humble BYU BBQ Club president dreamed of accomplishing. But he was a few years too early, and president of the wrong club. Sorry Marc.

P.S. So who wins the bet on when the BYUBBQC would be totally non-existant? I think I guessed 2 semesters...

Just 2 more days...

Then we can all go back to talking about how BYU zoobesses can easily manifest their eligibility for marriage, rather than talking about real issues. I can hardly wait.

Incidentally, I think I went to elementary school with the kid who put up that definition for zoobie in the Urban dictionary...
