#2 If she was speaking at mine, I wouldn't go. Then I'd take that ten bucks, save it and, when she croaks, go out and buy a six pack and piss on her grave.

#3 All attending submit to a grope
As nonworking dogs check for hope.
Please remain in your seat
While she washes your feet
And remember to smile at the scope.

#5 Why is it, that every time I hear about Nancy Pelosi, Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" album comes to mind ?

#6 There once was a house who wanted a party
But the owner said guests would be tardy
You'd charge them 10 clams
Their reason to be shim sham
And tutt the décor as quite gaudi.

#7 I'd pay to not hear her speak.

#8 I graduated in 1970 from Berkeley. After taking my last final, packed up my sea bag and headed back up to Alaska to work.
Four years was enough, though the college of civil engineering was great.

I could not imagine listening to that traitorous witch for an hour.

#9 10 bucks apiece? Does she need another face-lift?

#10 I didn't read the article, but figure the charge will be assessed to all seniors, regardless of whether they attend graduation, just a $10 surtax on their tuition.

#11 ...there are just some things that money can't buy. On the other hand, this "fix" may be achievable.

#12 For a commie-bastid institution, the fee to "cover costs" sounds... capitalistic.

#13 She's the perfect political storm,
A hack since she lived in a dorm,
The safest seat-warmer,
The perfect conformer,
A nightmare who runs true to form.
