Steve's Graduation: How Mel Gibson graduated in 2 minutes.

I attended Steve's graduation at Loyola Marimount University (LMU) in LA this weekend. Like all graduations, it was a long, boring affair. The big surprise of the day was when they gave out an honorary doctorate to Mell Gibson for giving the graduation speech. I was astounded, they announced him as exemplifying the ideologies and teachings of the school, a Catholic school I might add. They then went on to list, as, I can only guess, his qualifications, his accomplishments as an actor, such as staring in such blockbusters as Chicken Run (not joking). I immediately look at my wife, who EARNED her doctorate. I was thinking, "why did you labor through school so many years when you could have just been famous.

His speech was disjointed and rambling. It didn't seem to have any central point or message. I was left with no lasting words of wisdom. I'm not sure he ever graduated from high school. Where is this world coming too anyway?

Well apparently the connection with the Catholic institution and Mel Gibson is because Mel Gibson is a devout Catholic who operates a Catholic church out of his home every week in L.A.
Most likely one of Mel Gibson's alter boys is dean of LMU.

Actor Mel Gibson's father dismisses historical accounts of the Holocaust as impossible and denies that the September 11 terrorist attacks were perpetrated by Al Qaeda hijackersher. Mel Gibson does not share those beliefs.
You are trashing an honest and good person - its terrible.
