Why work hard and go to school, when you can fake your way into impressive credentials you aren't qualified for..?
Former vice president and Nobel Peace Prize winner Al Gore will receive an honorary doctoral degree from the University of Tennessee.
The degree - an Honorary Doctor of Laws and Humane Letters in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology - will be given to Gore at the spring commencement exercises of the College of Arts and Sciences on May 14, where he will be the featured speaker.
And why not an honorary degree in economics, for Obama? Or an honorary degree in anatomy, for Jeffrey Dahmer?
At what point do these things become meaningless and ridiculous?
I'm still bummed out that President Manchild wasn't awarded an honorary Olympic gold medal for SOMETHING.
So, to which organization should I direct my complaint---Vancouver Olympic Committee? IOC?
