Paid For by Redfern for Ohio

He is giving the Commencement address at Kenyon College. (Which will probably be more serious than the one at Emerson yesterday, but you never know. I really liked the Emerson address. I really really liked it. He should do more of that stuff. LOL!)

Edited to add: OMG, Tay, that PHOTO....!!!!

Hire that photographer Senator, he or she has got a wicked good eye.

Mama Mia! That is one hell of a sweet pic.

It's cool that both he and Teresa will be there.

After reading all the comments, especially those DD wrote on her family, I like the Emerson speech better than I did when I was watching it. I think it was that I expected it to be the current JK speech and it was quite different.

But I think the current intense JK speech would have been too political and too much about Kerry, the speech he gave was to the students - from the jokes that they clearly loved to the very serious piece on citizenship which really was a very good version of the usually boring exhortations to go forward into the world. It was clear the audience reacted well to both. Anyone who didn't think he connected definately didn't see this - People looking awake, amused and involved at a commencement speech is pretty good.

But it can be really funny. This was my favorite comment from a prior speech on Science delivered late last year.:



I remember spitting coffee out when I read that one. bwaahahahahaha! (It's fatalistic, funny, ironic and well written. I adored that part of the speech. Bwaahahahaha! Sound slike the science geeks I've seen who go to conventions. Funny, but also a particular sense of humor.)

that I think some of those jokes read FAR better than they landed in the actual speech!!! Again, I'd compare it to Jon Stewart at the Oscars -- dynamite and dead on in terms of political zingers, not so much when he has to talk about Tom Cruise.

I think JK has a FANTASTIC sense of humor and that joke you just posted about the inventor totally kills me, Tay! I heard him tell a sort of toastmaster joke, in an archived C-SPAN webcast of some dinner, about President Taft that was as brilliantly timed and delivered as anything Uncle Teddy might have told (there's where I agree with you about the "Irish" humor.) But his strength in telling jokes really is in the wry, self-directed or sardonic political vein, with a healthy dose of very individual goofiness. To me, though he can be sort of cute in his earnest attempts to make the jokes work, when he's talking about Jessica Simpson or Brittney Spears -- he just looks embarrassed!

That said, the kids loved every word he said. I only wish his gagwriters would either let HIM write the jokes or stop trying to make him look hip. He's plenty hip already!!

Your mileage may vary. :-)

It is hilarious, slightly tongue in cheek and would have been loved by every scientist I ever knew. It also does make a really good point.

It is very easy for scientists, mathmeticians, and engineers to greatly enjoy working on solving a great technical problem without considering the full ramifications. Kerry's last paragraph is perfect.

I'm beginning to think maybe our elite media wanted to get rid of Kerry because if people could really see and hear him, he's far more clever, witty, funny and engaging than they are. (They didn't have that problem with Bush - who allowed them daily to feel superior.)

I was drinking may have contributed to the giggles I got while reading it, but I re-read it today and giggled even more.

be when this is happening. That's all the info the e-mail had.
I don't even know how I got it, but thought I'd share.

If I try to livestream it, I'll just have to try each time and see.

Are you sure it has 2 time zones. I know Indiana does - it's mostly in Eastern with the Northwestern corner going to Central time to be with Chicago.

if wrong - you just have to wait an hour versus missing it.

I just received a call for a fundraiser for Deval Patrick with Barak Obama: $500 for the pre-reception, $5,000 for the reception.

a bahgin. (Bargain.)

Seriously, it should be a wicked good time. I'm attending that one.

That IS a fundraiser.
