Explanation copied from the source:

So as most of you know its Graduation Weekend here in Pullman. My 8:00AM ceremony went off without a hitch, but Ahoyo's graduation was another thing. It must be known that "Governor" Gregoire was the commencement speaker for the College of Business graduation. The Accounting department is part of this college, this will play a key role in this story. Well the commencement started like normal with the respective colleges walking in single file. One may have noticed the Accounting department had Accounting spelled out one letter at a time on their mortarboards. Well as soon as "Governor" Gregoire took the stage they quickly changed one of the c's to an a and shuffled around their hats. The end result was the phrase "Count Again" spelled out on their mortarboards. FUNNIEST [edit~hair] EVER! Pictures of this momentus occasion are attached.

For those of you who don't know about the situation here in Washington State and the governor's race here is a little history. In 2004 the race was recounted three times, with Dino Rossi (R) winning the first two recounts and "Governor" Gregoire (D) winning the third and final recount. Now a little county court in Chelan County Washington must decide if the race was invalid. This has been going on since the election in November. The litigation is set to start very soon and I'm sorry I don't have an exact date. For more information contact ReVoteWa.com

If possible, can you substitute these three links for the above source? His hotlinks aren't gonna hold up for a busy thread. It's grinding slow.

Something doesn't seem right. Of all the graduates in the picture, only some people from accounting put something on their mortar? I suspect photoshop and fake.

It's certainly an easy thing to fake, but the fact that it was organized by only some of the members does not in itself make it unbelievable.

Its not that only some of the members participated that is suspicious, its that not a single other grad has anything on their mortar that is suspicious.

The Mafia Queen (tobacco company extortionist) stuffed the ballot box, stole the election, declared it a "model for democracy" and then sought revenge on Washington State voters for not electing her Governor.

The People fight back!

Yeah, it probably is faked, else the libs in the crowd would have gone ape with booing and shut down the ceremony. We would have heard about it. Still a funny photoshop gag.

If this is for real, it's a hoot. If true, wonder how Fraudoire reacted?
