This is only important because it's funny.
Found over at Daniel Drezner. This is Conan O'Brien's Commencement Speech to the Havard Class of 2000, back when we are all September 10 Americans and when we still believed that in America, everyone's vote counted. We were such kids back then....
Students of the Harvard Class of 2000, fifteen years ago I sat where you sit now and I thought exactly what you are now thinking: What's going to happen to me? Will I find my place in the world? Am I really graduating a virgin? I still have 24 hours and my roommate's Mom is hot. I swear she was checking me out. Being here today is very special for me. I miss this place. I especially miss Harvard Square - it's so unique. No where else in the world will you find a man with a turban wearing a Red Sox jacket and working in a lesbian bookstore. Hey, I'm just glad my dad's working.
Think about speeches like this next time your college invites Alan Greespan to speak...
