John Adams gave this year's speech. It is a really great read.

Did he repeat himself many times? (Sorry, I couldn't resist.) ESP eddiesclarinet.com

In the context of a graduation ceremony, the repetitions may have been the only way he could get his point across, with most of the audience too deeply absorbed in texturbating to listen.

Lelia. I've not seen the word 'texturbating' before. Funny!

I wish I could claim to have coined "texturbating," but I stole it off the Scarlet Street forum, where several of my fellow movie critics use the term. It's one of the better neologisms I've seen lately. English is such a Frankenstein of a language already that we might as well keep on mutating it!
