OK, so I couldn't completely stay away. Some cool stuff I've seen online this weekend:
UMass Amherst grads protest former Bush chief of staff Andrew Card's appearance at their graduation.
Howard Dean visits Air America's Ring of Fire to talk about the 50-state strategy:
... what we did do is go into new territory. Territory like Kansas and Minnesota and upstate New York--territories that hadn't been aggressively attacked. And of course we're delighted that we won the majority in the House and the Senate, but the really exciting thing is that we forced the president and the vice president to be campaigning in Idaho and Nebraska the last two weekends of that campaign.
In honor of those who have died, send support to a soldier still in harm's way, or to a vet who has suffered traumatic brain injury.
UMASS-AMherst is actually the university at which I am completing my masters right now and there has been all sorts of protests for this honorary degree over the last couple of months. I can't imagine that it was a good experience for the administration OR Andrew Card, but they went ahead with it anyway--almost as if they just wanted to rub it in the faces of the faculty and students.

A Daily Kos diary on one U Mass grad's firsthand experiences at the Card protest last weekend.
Zach, good luck with the rest of your studies. I hope they do a better job with the honorary degrees when it's your turn to graduate!
