Gyp!
Carnegie-Mellon University gets Bill Cosby as a commencement speaker.
Who did we have when I commenced from my beloved alma mater? An alum who was the former president of the San Diego Sewer Commission.
When I sell the Great American Novel, I am going to direct 50% of my royalties to my alma mater to put into a fund to get better commencement speakers. We may not be able to get Cosby, but I bet we could get...Pauly Shore. Or maybe Carrot Top (who actually performed on campus before he was someone - if he is someone now).

I don't even remember who spoke at my graduation...all I recall was that our uni's president was in the hotseat after making a racist comment a couple of weeks before.
The only reason I remember is that he also, as a young attorney, had something to do with the Watergate Hearings, and when I first read his bio, I thought he had the potential to be interesting. I was really disappointed when all he did was talk about sewers in San Diego.
But I was thinking today, that maybe that was his way of telling us that our alma mater had equipped us to deal with all the shit life throws us.
