| Christine Harris certainly didn’t waste this oppportunity. Sporting a hunter’s vest over her graduation gown, she marched in the procession wearing ruby slippers and a message, “there’s no place like 2008.”
“I feel strongly that it was my right to protest the choice of Dick Cheney for commencement speaker,” Harris told 9 News. “I wanted to do it in a lighthearted way, but in a way that was marked.” The target on her cap certainly marked the spot, while undergrads went for the more obvious hunter-orange graduation cap. “Don’t shoot, we’re not that kind of doctor,” Harris quipped. Guess it takes a Ph.D. to dream up a joke that deep. wafb.com |
| “It is my right to protest the choice of Dick Cheney as commencement speaker” because of his role in the Iraq war, said Harris, who got her Ph.D. in French studies, or, as she quipped, “freedom studies.” 2theadvocate.com |
| A few people inside the arena registered objections to Cheney. One was Christine Harris, who poked fun at Cheney’s hunting accident in February, in which he shot a fellow hunter in the face. She wore an orange hunting vest; on her mortarboard was written “Don’t shoot.” katc.com |

I just had to document how awesome Dr. 
Treeling_75 really is. I mean, we all know her awesomeness, but for the few of you that don’t, she really is that awesome, and then some. Congrats Dr. Tree!
And for posterities sake, here Tree says hi to the peeps at DU and shows them what was on top of her head.
