Al Gore, Dolly Parton to receive honorary degrees from Tennessee
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)

...

Meeting at UT Martin Friday, the UT Board of Trustees voted to award Gore an Honorary Doctor of Laws and Humane Letters in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. The honorary degree will be presented to Gore, also a former U.S. senator from Tennessee, at the spring commencement of the UTK College of Arts and Sciences on May 14.

...

Finally! A degree in SCIENCE.

 

[Hallo Alfie]

Al is in esteemed company.

What's the big deal? A school in his home state gives him, a former VP, an honor. No one takes honorary degrees seriously as an academic award. It is more for donations and to land a speaker during spring graduation.

Didn't Hannity and Rove get honorary PhD's from Liberty University? (Hannity and Rove aren't from Virginia.) Only people like Jerry Falwell would use a "Dr." title, even though the "doctorate" was purely honorary.

Nice, another example of #1 - focus on a single person as a tactic.

Thanks, Abdul Alhazred!

Here's someone who I think was deserving of an honorary degree:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Dibnah

He did much to champion British engineering and his down-to-earth manner helped explain technology to the masses.

He did get two honorary doctorates and an MBE.

Sorry, I should have written, deserving of the honorary degrees which he received.
