He's a physicist that won a nobel prize.  Probably not a great speaker but at least he's actually achieved something.

Bloomberg's voice would bore me to tears.

Sounds exciting.  Shit happens when that guy is around.




Have to have DEVGRU operators guarding him.

My brother had one of Hamid Karzai's brothers as a biology professor, said the guy was a dick. My commencement speaker a few years ago was Chuck Schumer (NY senator), who recycles the same damn graduation speech at every NY state graduation... and now I have my brother's graduation in a few days, so this'll be the third or fourth time I've heard the speech (a couple friends' graduations in the meanwhile).

  That would be awesome.

Oh my god and to think you could have gotten the CEO of monster.com

I cant tell if youre being sarcastic, but if you are, at least that CEO of monster.com guy will be able to (at the very least) give me tips on how i could snazz up my resume or something or give me an idea of where the job market is headed today.

This guy is probably going to talk about alternative fuels and blah blah.

I wouldn't mind the ambassador from MEHICO either. Sounds interesting.
