Project Insomnia

Project Insomnia is many things, but in this context it is simply a "braindump" of whatever I happen to be thinking/reading/watching/doing at the moment. Parental guidance suggested.

What, no mention of sunscreen?

Jon Stewart, host of The Daily Show on Comedy Central, recently gave this commencement speech to graduates at his alma mater, William & Mary College.
I am honored to be here, I do have a confession to make before we get going that I should explain very quickly. When I am not on television, this is actually how I dress. I apologize, but there’s something very freeing about it. I congratulate the students for being able to walk even a half a mile in this non-breathable fabric in the Williamsburg heat. I am sure the environment that now exists under your robes, are the same conditions that primordial life began on this earth.

I know there were some parents that were concerned about my speech here tonight, and I want to assure you that you will not hear any language that is not common at, say, a dock workers union meeting, or Tourrett’s convention, or profanity seminar. Rest assured.
I attended one of Rita's many graduations some years ago, where the guest speaker was former Texas governor Ann Richards. Ms. Richards had just been defeated, in a rather ugly campaign, by future one-and-out President George W. Bush. This has nothing really to do with Jon Stewart giving an address at William & Mary, but it's customary to try to relate these links to personal experience, even if it's a stretch.
