[bleever]

Watch where you put your finger, Keef.

[ralps]

1. Hi bleever! Hi Everyone! I'm pretty sure today's the 30th

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[SeattleGirl]

3. Perhaps bleev didn't get enough of 4/20.....

:evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

4. Or too much?

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

7. Hi Patsy! You could be right!

:hi:

[ralps]

6. Hi SeattleGirl!!!! Maybe?? but he's changed it now!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :shrug:

[bleever]

5. Well, you know where my mind was.

:hippie: :smoke: :hippie:

[SeattleGirl]

2. Hi bleev! Happy Friday!

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

8. He's got the whole world in his hands...

:hi: And I guess bleev gave Pats the shout-out tonight.

Hi all! Happy Friday! Shabbat Shazzam!

[SeattleGirl]

10. Shabbat Shazzam to you too, Berry!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

14. Hola!

Good Shabbos to you too. :hi: Keith said "stoned" last night, and I smiled.

[Patsy Stone]

9. Pray

and buy lots of P&G stock. :hi:

[SeattleGirl]

11. I buy Dawn 'cause I like it that they donate money to wildlife.

I hope they have a lot in their coffers, and I really hope that a huge shipment of Dawn is on its way to the Gulf coast!

[Patsy Stone]

12. We started using Dawn

when I was a kid, and I've used it ever since. It's cool that they turned out to be nice.

[Berry Cool]

13. You know someone on DU tried to post that Dawn is horribly dangerous?

You know, because all corporations are bad...

That's not to say P&G is saintly, but the Dawn hysteria is exaggerated.

[Berry Cool]

15. Keith has a peppermint-striped mug tonight.

Interesting.

[SeattleGirl]

17. The willingness of some folks to broadbrush things drives me nuts.

[bleever]

19. Perhaps you've forgotten THIS:

Clearly an emblem of...Satan!

[SeattleGirl]

16. Good gawd, did y'all see THIS? More Arizona madness.

Arizona's new immigration law is just about crime, its supporters say, but given that the state's new education policy equates ethnic studies programs with high treason, they may not be using the commonly accepted definition of "crime."

Under the ban, sent to Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer by the state legislature Thursday, schools will lose state funding if they offer any courses that "promote the overthrow of the U.S. government, promote resentment of a particular race or class of people, are designed primarily for students of a particular ethnic group or advocate ethnic solidarity instead of the treatment of pupils as individuals."

As ThinkProgress notes, the Tucson Unified School District's popular Mexican-American studies department is the target here. The state superintendent charges that the program exhibits "ethnic chauvinism."

Meanwhile, in a move that was more covert until the Wall Street Journal uncovered it, the Arizona Department of Education has told schools that teachers with "heavy" or "ungrammatical" accents are no longer allowed to teach English classes.

[Patsy Stone]

18. Oy vey. nt

[Berry Cool]

21. This is such a huge can of worms.

It cannot stand.

[SeattleGirl]

23. And I bet these same people would swear there is no such thing

as white privilege.

[bleever]

20. Was it Botany that sent Steph's show the Halliburton

connection to the oil disaster?

I'll bet good money it was.

[GigiMommy]

I think we should egg her on.

[Berry Cool]

31. Like Keith said, she is plucked.

And some of my friends still don't know not to call when Keith is on. Shame, shame...

(just funnin', but it seems like that has been really an issue this week)

[bleever]

32. I predict her vote totals

will be poultry compared to Reid's.

[CBHagman]

43. Personally, I expect fowl play.

Bwak! Bwak!

[SharonRB]

33. Hi, all

I'm late, but I've been watching and catching up on e-mail and stuff, since I wasn't near a computer all day -- took one of my floating holidays and had a lovely, do-things-on-my-timeframe day.

[SeattleGirl]

34. Hi Sharon!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

Hi, SG

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

36. Welcome, Sha-Sha. Glad you had such a day.

:hi: You're here just in time for the Worsts:

--Rush who says Obama is a Communazi
--A guy who spouts frontier gibberish to compare undocumented immigrants to a plague of locusts (call Tom DeLay?)
--another idiot from southwestern Ohio who makes me feel ashamed to be from the state

But you ARE here to enjoy "The Night the Bed Fell"!

[SharonRB]

40. I've been watching the whole show

Just haven't been in the clubhouse.

[GigiMommy]

39. Hi Sharon!!!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

42. Hi, Gigi!

:hi:

[ralps]

35. Today's worst person in the world is David Krickorian, a Democratic Rep candidate from Ohio

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :wow: :wtf:

[GigiMommy]

41. Hi Ralps!!!

:hi:

[ralps]

44. Hi GigiMommy! & Cassie! Hugs

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :hug:

[Berry Cool]

46. "The Night the Bed Fell"--what a hoot.

I discovered that one of my sisters (the one I went to Chicaggy with) thinks I am Briggs and that I will die of sleep apnea if she doesn't wake me up every 10 minutes to make me breathe. Needless to say, sharing a hotel room with her made me rather punchy that first night. I finally convinced her that I will see a doctor about my sleep ASAP after I get health care bennies again, but dammit, in the meantime, LET ME SLEEP! I've somehow managed not to die yet!

[bleever]

45. Rachel's at C Street!

Check it out.

[Berry Cool]

47. Yeah, she's making a little visit.

:hi: Happy weekend, all!

[GigiMommy]

48. Hi Bleever!!!

:hi:
