This is pure dynamite. The guy rocks! Love to have been there to watch the faculty while he gave this speech - B.A. TOO BAD IT NEVER HAPPENED!!!! LIKE Neil himself say.... WARNING!   Do not believe anything you hear on my show, or anything you read on the Internet unless it is consistent with what you already know to be true -- or you have actually taken the time to verify the information with another source.  That's called "doing your homework." http://www.boorz.com

Origins:   Although this much-forwarded piece was indeed penned by syndicated radio talk show host Neal Boortz, it was never given by him as a commencement address at a university or college, nor was it written with that intent. Mr. Boortz wrote it as a protest of his never having been invited to deliver a commencement speech, despite decades of hosting radio talk shows. As he says, "The final straw was when Kermit the Frog got an invitation from a Northeast college."

He has delivered the speech on his radio show and used in his 1998 book, The Terrible Truth About Liberals.
