The Hub-o-sphere

-- In case you fell asleep during your commencement address, here is some classic graduation advice. [HuffingtonPost]

Self-important Boston University students didn't think representative Mike Capuano was important enough to speak at their graduation, apparently inspiring instead for someone like Smokey Robinson or Michelle Obama (who was won over by earnest efforts, not empty complaints, from students). Yesterday, though, Capuano apparently impressed the BU students who'd never heard of him. Proving that you don't need to be on a magazine or CD cover to be important, Capuano sent a message that work, not fame, is what matters. It might have been a surprise to BU students, but it's no surprise to students of life.
