From the Yale Daily News:
Christopher Buckley ‘75, the satirical author and political commentator, will give the Class Day speech at this year’s commencement, the News has learned.
…
“Were I to give a speech,” Buckley explained, “I would probably in the first paragraph explain how to solve the financial crisis. In the second paragraph, I think I would deal swiftly with how to achieve peace in the Middle East. And in the third paragraph I would probably talk about how to get a job at Starbucks.”
Posted without comment, except to say that this will be given a thorough recap after the fact.
The servicers (large banks) could have worked on beneficial solutions with the homeowners. Instead, they chose to pay people to commit fraud. I have heard they will now send the paperwork overseas, so that it is not processed in English.
