"Presidential" Honors

Notre Dame is giving Martin Sheen an honorary degree this May, it might be worth honoring my contractual agreement this year by attending Commencement ;-) He's winning a medal, not so much for his acting but for his work as a Catholic activist. (I'm sure all the ND sweatshirts on the West Wing didn't hurt...;-)

This is kind of exciting to me. Although, he's getting an award for making the public aware of certain issues. And to be honest, I don't know if I'm not in the right demographic or something, but I didn't know the specific issues he was working with.

I knew he was Catholic and did some stuff, but I never knew what it was exactly.

He had some good-looking kids though - I had some major crushes when I was little.

So, you're saying you don't think having good genes is enough reason for an honorary doctorate??

Are you two saying Catholic talent is hard to come by?? Are you bashing your own 'people'??
