Calvin is cool....

Calvin is so awesome the President of the United States of America....good ol' George W., will be making his presence on campus and SPEAKING at graduation this year. I have a few things to say about this. For one...WHY didn't my parents have me 2 years earlier? I realize this would mean they would have been REAL young, but still...I could brag about having the President speak at my graduation! Secondly...George is going to the Naval Academy, Yale, and Notre Dame, and CALVIN. We must be alright to be a category with those other three colleges! And thirdly...Hope College doesn't have anyone cool like this speaking at their graduation :) Calvin wins over Hope again.

you guys stay up way too late posting comments on the blog. I'm so in bed at midnight. But the Bush at Calvin thing is very interesting. Hmmmm....is that a neutral enough comment...I think so! I think it's cool for those who are impressed by that sort of thing. ;) Just kidding. Seriously I'm happy for you guys!

"...regardless of one's political persuasion the opportunity to hear from the President of the United States is a singular opportunity. We need to hear and learn from thinkers and leaders whether we agree with them or not." ~~G Byker
If you want to "hear and learn" about another perspective you can see Jim Wallis at Calvin on May 5 speak on "God's Politics: Why the Right Gets It Wrong and the Left Doesn't Get It".
