Jon Stewart's William & Mary Commencement Address

At the risk of posting the exact same thing as Anne...yet again...this is simply too neat to not do so. And, besides, maybe there are a few visitors that we DON'T have in common. It's a big world, right? No? Yeah, yer right, it's a small world. Fuck.

Anyway, if you don't already know, I go to a second tier state school here in Michigan. We do not have any distinguished alumni (though actor Jeff Daniels is a CMU dropout and we love him dearly for it). So while Michigan State University, a mere 60 miles due south, got the repellent, and plug ugly, but also very, very prominent Condoleeza Rice for their commencement this year, we got completely unknown CEOs from obscure, Michigan-based companies (read this). We can't even get the Governor of Michigan, or Senator Carl Levin or even Senator Debbie Stabenow. Not even Representative Dave Camp. I mean...dag.

Yet, somehow, being a CMU student fits me perfectly. I mean, I'm here, aren't I? I obviously have a problem with goal-setting.

Seriously, choosing a college is a decision that will affect the course of the REST OF YOUR LIFE. Choose wisely, kids.
