Jon Stewart recently gave the commencement speech at his alma mater, William and Mary. The transcript has found its way online.
An excerpt:
We declared war on terror. We declared war on terror—it’s not even a noun, so, good luck. After we defeat it, I’m sure we’ll take on that bastard ennui.
Hate to break it to Jon, but:
“WordNet (r) 2.0″
terror: n
1: an overwhelming feeling of fear and anxiety syn: panic
2: a person who inspires fear or dread; “he was the terror of the neighborhood” syn: scourge, threat
3: a very troublesome child syn: brat, little terror, holy terror
Funny line anyway. No matter if its a bit on the factually wrong side.
