UIC graduation: Gov. Pat Quinn urges graduates to commit to social causes, people -- chicagotribune.com: "Quinn spoke to the 1,275 graduates of UIC's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences in a packed arena. In deference to the swine flu, students received their diploma with 'a verbal congratulations or alternatively a hand bump or two' rather than a traditional handshake, Dean Dwight McBride said."

Yes, that's what the Dean said. But the Governor shook hands with every single graduate.

Maybe we can all do Obama-style "fist bumps" ... or do we call them "terrorist fist jabs" à la Fox News?

The Dean did the fist bump with every single graduate. His knuckles must have been sore.
