Oh, really? Dept.: Elisabeth Bumiller reports on George Bush's commencement speech at Oklahoma State University:
"When I was in college, we listened to music on 45 r.p.m. records as opposed to the iPod," Mr. Bush said. "We used manual typewriters instead of the personal computer. When we made a mistake while writing a paper, we didn't have the luxury of spell-check. As a matter of fact, we used something that maybe some of you have heard of. It was big and bulky; it's called a dictionary."
Bumiller reports that next week Bush will give a graduation address at another powerhouse of academe, Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College in Biloxi. posted: 2:50:35 PM |
