I blame home schooling

Oh, yeah, Bush's fault.

And the Earth is only 6,000 years old

Plus, something about Halliburton and Cheney

Should have just phoned it in.

Just like the Bush "presidency"?

I think that's pretty cool

Why didn't the guv take just the grad out for a cup of coffee? To Starbucks, maybe. herm

Wow how much money did the State waste to arrange this?

I've no way of knowing, of course, but I would imagine that the state's annual budget has money set aside for speaking engagements or state PR, or something of the like. I would imagine the cost of this speaking engagement came out of that.

But not being from Montanna, I don't really care one way or the other.

Ok for the record if it would have been just Me graduating I'd just skip the bullshit and have them send out My diploma. But since a school is involved and all I think it is classy that the Gov of Montana came and gave a speech to the lone graduate. It's never a waste of money to honour acheivements made by students. Isn't education priceless??

This was great for his family members. Not having to wait around for all the other students must have made this a quickie.

You're right ver, it's Bushes fault that there arn't many people in Eastern Montana. Shit, there were 7 in my graduating class but that was many years ago and a few miles east of Opheim. That damn Bush, Cheny, and Halliburton have screwed up the entire eastern half of the state. There use to be lots of people there.

Obviously not Bush's fault. Very literally, No Child Left Behind.

24 in mine and I thought my school was tiny.

You'd think a conservative would understand where a state gets its money...

...like from the pockets of those who pay taxes in that state.

I'll ask one.

Maybe they moved to North Dakota?

BTW, there were 732 in my graduating class

Where'd they hold the senior prom? His parents' basement?

659 in my class.

BTW - also in Montana.

I blame Hannah Montana.

Shit, there were 7 in my graduating class but that was many years ago and a few miles east of Opheim.

There were 7 in mine as well---but that was in 1992 way out in West Texas: another once-densely populated area that was devastated by the hubristic, arrogant, neo-con policies of The Chimp.

And that was 8 years before he ever took office!

Speaking of eastern Montana---I was on a fairly large outfit close to Decker and Leiter, east of Sheridan in the late 1990s. They had a public school on the ranch---with just one kid in attendance that particular year. The teacher lived on-site in an apartment.

There's 1 student who'll be able to get a job in the real world.

Unfortunately his peers will be left behind to collect cash from the donation boxes at their churches and washing-waxing their Pastor's Mercedes.

Of course, they could always get jobs polishing Vernon and Sniper's Knobs.

In Republican Circles and Red States it's a given that that's always a pathway to a successful career.
