Graduation was today and about half of these students said goodbye to Auburn. The others will graduate at the end of this coming semester.
Always love my students and very proud of them. This group was particularly fun and put in a lot of work on these projects. So, give them a look and offer them a job or internship.

Oh, sure … we don’t need the demagogue that comes along with it … but, the speech … well, it would be great to hear.
Even Obama himself couldn’t match this one. Willie Stark (a.k.a. Huey P. Long) at least knew how to come back from defeat and rally the populace.
