My first response when I saw this video was, “Oh, snap!” I knew this had to be political satire (pretty good stuff, but I couldn’t find the names of the comedy writers).

I like my inspiration like my coffee – usually straight up, strong, and, at times, with a little flavor. What inspires me? People who find a passion and show it in their life. Each year I look forward to recognizing seniors who have distinguished themselves through their campus work—their passions—demonstrating it to us each day. […]
