Soon, they’ll encourage us to shoot our friends while hunting…

I know that just about everyone I know and love (besides my dear husband) received some degree or another from the illustrious Brigham Young University (including both of my dear parents, who were professors there and retired from there). This is not meant to be an offense to you… I’m just becoming less and less interested in your University…. which is difficult… since they’ve been on my very-dark-if-not-completely-black list for some time now…

I just heard the SUPER DUPER news today–Dick Cheney himself is going to be speaking at BYU’s commencement this year.

Our dear Vice President was available, of course, because NO ONE ELSE ON THE PLANET WAS INTERESTED IN BOOKING HIM!!! Seriously, people! Dick Cheney? The guy who tried to convince the American public that TORTURE was okay? The guy who stands beside our dopey president as he breaks one federal or international law after another?? The guy who leaked info about a CIA agent?? And does ANYONE besides me remember Haliburton???

Oh, but wait. He’s a Republican. And this is, after all, the land of the Blind Republican Sheep. He could eat your children in front of you, but he’s a Republican. Therefore, we must admire him and shout his praises. And maybe even teach a few Sunday School lessons about his endless virtues…

Hmmm, what a catch. Wouldn’t wanna miss that one, now would we?

You should start a protest. Of course, in Utah, you’d probably be the ONLY person marching. Well, you and your four kids, anyway. Hey, if they’re as loud as mine, it’ll draw plenty of attention.

Hey there, thanks for stopping by my blog. Yours is fantastic. I can’t stop laughing.

LOL! I can’t imagine wanting to miss that for the world… I agree with the person that said you should start a protest…

Hoo, girl. Don’t get me started on this asshat. I think if he were speaking at my university I would have to skip my own graduation. Not even kidding. I fucking hate this administration.

Also, HI! Welcome to Indie Bloggers!!

Be carefule of what you say about this guy…

If you get too out of hand, he’ll get drunk (again) and shoot you in the face!

I cannot tell you what a horrible day it was for me when I found out this bright bit of news. And yes: I’m an alumna, thank you very much.
