You Go, Youngins'
Many students in the 2007 graduating class of Brigham Young University are publicly protesting the choice of Dick Cheney as their Commencement Speaker.
You know the guy's a fuckhead when BYU students, possibly the most conservative student body in America, are saying no thanks, dick, you don't represent our values.
I salute these kids for their courage in standing against this disgraceful choice for a commencement speaker.
They and their parents paid dearly for their BYU educations- the students should have a say in who sends them out into the world as optimistic college graduates.
I hope if dick does appear, they pelt him with whatever young Mormons consider trash.

If they play their cards right they can get...say... Mitt Romney.
Who chose the Dickster, anyway?
Have you seen the Doonesbury cartoons on Romney this week? They're rich!
As I understand the story, the White House suggested Cheney come to BYU to speak. He invited himself, and, accordingly, deserves whatever kind of unwelcome he gets.
I think Dick is just doing it because he knows he can.
If BYU nixed his idea, they'd probably be audited for the next 50 years.
