Jon Stewart

On Dartmouth, as on every single other college campus I'm sure, there's a movement to get Jon Stewart nominated as commencement speaker. Of course, it'll never happen - no way in hell will we invite Jon Stewart when we can get someone dull or uninteresting like the CEO of GE. Because while the CEO may suck as a speaker and have nothing to offer commencement to make it more interesting, gosh darn it! He went to Dartmouth and if nothing else, the Ivies are the places where you sit around and congratulate yourself on how wonderful you are and how much you have accomplished as a class of people. But, in any case, I just discovered the text of Jon Stewart's commencement address from last year at William & Mary, and thought you might enjoy it.... (you being one of the four people who check this blog. Happy Belated Bday, Marlene!)

Jon Stewart Commencement Address

p.s. marlene, if you're reading this, Angeles asked me to have you delete that photo of us in our Halloween costumes I sent you last night. I promise there'll be others to replace it - but you have to admit, we look pretty gross in it.
