Would you take a free ticket to a * speech?
Free tickets available for Air Force graduation
The Denver Post

About 500 free, reserved-seat tickets for the U.S. Air Force Academy's graduation ceremony May 28 — featuring commencement speaker Pres. George W. Bush — will be available beginning Monday through the Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce.

Tickets must be picked up at the chamber office, 6 S. Tejon St., Suite 700, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

There is a limit of four tickets per person.

Falcon Stadium gates open at 8 a.m. for the May 28 event. Stringent security measures will be enforced. The ceremony will begin at 10 a.m. and end with a performance by the Thunderbirds.

13. If somebody paid me a minimum of $10K and then
gave me a shot of something that knocked me out cold so that I wouldn't actually have to listen to him, I'd consider it.

16. Oh, come on. You'd go. This could be fun!
I mean, where else can you go to see the purported leader of the free world come out falling-down drunk (literally, last year) and mangle more words than most people can speak?

18. I'd take four, get in my truck...

21. I couldn't go to that
I would not be able to control the overwhelming urge to stand up and moon him. Might get me into more trouble than what I would want to deal with over his dumb ass.

24. Whoa! That's not real smart.....
What's preventing anti-war protestors picking them up and causing some noisy trouble? The local repubs should fill those seats, for the sake of not having the cadets' graduation disrupted.
