My sister is graduating from Arizona State University this week, and it’s a big deal all over town that President Barack Obama is speaking at their commencement tonight. I had the opportunity to go, but passed it up last minute. Would have had to arrange a sitter and sit in the stadium for 4 hours in 100 degree heat, mind you! On top of traffic and security, it just wasn’t sounding like the most fun thing to do today. Would have liked the experience if it was a little easier to obtain…
It is also big news that ASU is not giving President Obama an honorary degree. I thought this sounded pretty ungrateful, myself! Their excuse was that Obama hasn’t been in office long enough to prove himself and earn one. Really? The first black american predisent, the freshest face of ideas since John F Kennedy? Wow, what a burn.
Well my MOST favorite talk show host, Jon Stewart, did a great piece last night on the Daily Show about who HAS gotten an honorary degree from this “prestigious” (LOL) college…(and the student interviews are hilarious, you know how they do!):

I believe that Electronic Cigarettes has gained a tremendous amount of popularity around the world. Although the FDA continues to make every effort to stop something that has the potential to save many lives, I don’t feel that they will prevail. Its difficult to decide which brand will actually work for me due to all of the
numerous electronic cigarette reviews. I have tried Gamucci, which proves to be a very good product, but I am now looking to try something else. I only pray that the Electronic Cigarette is here to stay.
