You could put it that way...

Well, in case I want to remember the name of my commencement speaker, it's right here in my blog. I visited my UW commencement bookmark one last time before deleting it, and this is what I saw. This, my friends, is called spin:

"A memorable commencement address was delivered by William D. Ruckelshaus, and was greeted with a standing ovation."

Gee, what about the boo-and-cheer portion of the speech? Hmmm... I guess that's what made it memorable. And he did not live up to the quote by George Bernard Shaw. The speech was lonnnng.

Again, I maintain it would have been cool to hear an address by Jodie Foster. She quoted Eminem, according to Time Magazine.
