A little Texan influence would be good for SJ and his cohorts.

You're right. Nothing influences young minds like a speech delivered in perfect monotone followed by a roundhouse kick to the skull.

Shame we couldn't have had him instead of John "Agents of Intolerance, Non-Conservative, Wish he'd go back to Vietnam" McCain back in 2006.

(no, im not a John McCain fan. he's only less liberal than the rest of the people running for president)

BAN!!!!!

The hate is strong in you bball84.... Come to the DARK SIDE!!!!

seriously, chuck norris i can at least take seriously as a commencement speaker, unlike john "say anything to get elected, and act piously while doing the opposite" mccain...

- if standing firm for my beliefs and morals makes me intolerant, then im a proud "agent of intolerance"

Chuck rocks! Maybe he'll tell those graduates how to get a job. "Make sure you roundhouse kick the hiring manager until you get the job!"

I hated the Chuck Norris jokes with a passion. I was just joking with Jr about getting him to speak here because I thought it would be awesome to say Walker Texas Ranger spoke at my graduation. I didn't know it'd actually happen. That makes it even cooler.

He also wrote a book. It's a biography but I believe it's more like a testimonial. He'd be an appropriate speaker.

I just hope that people don't walk out en mass at the end of his address like they did when Bush Sr. spoke at graduation back in '90.

Yeah, that was when I was SUPPOSED to walk. I got to hear about it from my future wife instead.

I was supposed to walk in '89 and didn't bother to come back to town. I have no idea who our speaker was the year. But I'm sure he wasn't as cool as Chuck Norris.
