stint as a senator

That's a great way of describing it. :)

Aside from the university president, I don't think anyone else spoke at my graduation. :unsure:

Mercifully, my graduation ceremony was short. We all walk in, the president got up, talked for like 2 minutes, then some orchestra covered something weird, like Bob Marley. Then we stood up to walk across the stage to get our diploma cover, sat back down, and that was it. On one hand, the short amateurish ceremony was a pretty fucking perfect metaphor for the university itself. But on the other hand, I had been eating Concerta like candy for about a week straight (it was BAD), so I had slept maybe 8 hours in the last 10 days.

Is it over a political issue, perhaps?  Oxford refused to give Maggie an honorary degree (of some sort or other, she was already an Oxford graduate) because the parliament of the University were opposed to her education policies.
Notre Dame is not giving him one because of abortion.  Not sure what the deal is with ASU.

No, they're giving him one in spite of it.

Because Obama doesn't party hard enough for ASU.

Obviously it is because Arizona is John McCain's homestate.

At least ASU asked Obama to do something appropriate to his skill level - public speaking. :)

Too much Kenyan hate in you.

He won't deliver a speech but Geoffrey Hill, who's possibly my favourite living poet (Derek Walcott's very strong competition) will be receiving an honorary degree when I graduate :w00t:

We had Georgie Ann Geyer (which went well with my International Relations degree). 

Thankfully I didn't graduate the year earlier when they had: Maya Angelou :bleeding:

Apparently Geoffrey Hill's the day before.  The day I graduate Daniel Day Lewis is getting an honourary degree :wub: :W00t:
