I think I'd like to go to this commencement ceremony. I wonder if there's a nearby airport I could tool on into, then drive over and watch the festivities...

Seems that Preznit Morally Bankrupt is giving one of his two inspirational ("hey! I am C+ Augustus and now I so rock! Everyone kisses my ass, even my DAD!") speeches at the Boat School (that's the Naval Academy) and at a small Christian college (scroll down to the story) in Michigan, except they're not Beloved Leaders kind of Christians...see they actually believe in all that "turn the other cheek" and "love thy brother as thyself" and the actual "Golden Rule" stuff.

On closer inspection, it turns out that Calvin College is not the bastion of the Christian Right it appeared to be. In fact, judging from my e-mail, it's a veritable hotbed of those other Christian values -- the ones that oppose war, work for social justice, and don't think much of the president at all.
...
Pomkala tried to help me understand where Calvin fits into the Christian spectrum: "Calvin is confessionally Reformed/Presbyterian (in other words, Calvinistic -- no surprise there, I guess), with a much more positive view of the intellect and participation in the broader culture than is characteristic of American evangelicalism, much of which is anti-intellectual (e.g. 'creation science') and escapist (e.g. the Left Behind series), not to mention morally barbaric (e.g. opposition to stem cell research; anti-gay)."
...
And what is Professor Pomkala planning to do during Bush's speech?

"As a faculty member, I'm required to attend commencement, but I plan on reading a book during the president's speech -- probably My Pet Goat."

Reading "My Pet Goat" during the speech. I love it.
