No-Bel Laureate (my only blog NOT really about LA)
// November 22nd, 2009 // LA Done Me Wrong
I’ve never won a Nobel Prize. Or received an honorary degree. I find honorary degrees to be insulting, quite frankly. “Ok, we know you’d never bother to get a degree from our school so how about we just print you up a piece of paper that says you have a degree!
Obama: “What are you implying that I’m too stupid to earn the degree myself?”
College: “Of course not.”
Obama: “Well I should hope not because I’ll have you know that I’ve already got a degree from Columbia University and Harvard Law School where I was in fact the first African American President of the Harvard Law Review. I’ve been the Senator of Illinois and as I‘m sure you’re aware that I am now President of your country. I don’t think I need your piddly little honorary degree to validate myself. Give it to someone who could get some use from it.”
College: “Then we can brag about the fact that you, Mr. First Black President of the United States have a degree from our college and then YOU can brag about how you have a degree from our college. Think about it!!”
It’s just plain old retarded. I myself actually got the student loans, and am making good use of my bachelor’s degree, sitting here writing a brilliant blog even as I type.
Actually, I’ve gotta go write an honorary rent check to my landlady! I’m sure she’ll put it on the wall next to her honorary marriage license.
