From Syracuse.com | A group of students at Syracuse University in New York has created a “Take Back Commencement” group on Facebook to protest the university’s graduation speaker, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon. “We…are against
using the 2010 commencement to restore the public image of the banking
industry and validate the anti-environmental and anti-humanitarian
interests of JP Morgan Chase,” reads the petition. It has gathered 860 signatures so far.

    sounds good until you need a job…oh wait, you have a job — I remember seeing you at it — I said — I’d like more bread and butter and you said, right away sir…..a little slow on bringing it to my table, however — you won’t be able to pay back your loans with the small tips you’ve been getting; but hey, I appreciate you being an environmentalist and humanitarian.
