GravatarI tawt I saw a puddy cat!


GravatarYou thertainly did you crunchy little right wing treat you!


GravatarI wish I could believe Atrios when he says OVERNIGHT. It's like Obama ordering orange juice.


GravatarI have a personal story that may help you folks understand how this Obama thing can hurt the average person. Many years ago Bill Bradley was giving a speech in the Senate and he used the phrase, 'Pell Grants for the poor.' At the time I was in school and a beneficiary of Pell Grants but I never thought of myself as poor or as Pell grants being exclusively for the poor. It was quite a sting and I'v never forgotten it nor forgiven Bradley.

So what Obama has said has real significance in small town America.


Gravatar...well, thank God for this! I was going crazy trying to find an appropriately crappy insertable YouTube video on my crappy dialup to insert in that last thread...

Smoking shattered computer carcasses all over the house...disturbing, really....


Gravatar...and, thank you for your concern, fred....


GravatarI saw a news report the other day about a couple with two young boys, both of whom were autistic. They were using a new therapy, of some sort which was the focus of the story, and it had greatly improved the older boy's condition. The younger being too young to benefit from it currently. It was amazing to this child, who did not appear to have signs of autism in the short footage shown of him.


GravatarFred's been milkin that goat all night.


GravatarSo that do-it-urself youtube experiment didn't work out so well?

Took the Pell grant and ran, I'll bet.


Gravatar"Fred's been milkin that Billygoat all night."

Fapped your Trout.


GravatarIt will never do for a presidential candidate even to suggest that many Americans are actually pissed off with the way things are going in this country.

That would be like...like...class warfare!!


GravatarI wish I could believe Atrios when he says OVERNIGHT.

I miss Linda Ellerbee.


GravatarIt was quite a sting and I'v never forgotten it nor forgiven Bradley.

Oh yeah! Nothing like the sting of free money.

fug that, I'm poor, 57 yr. old counting on gettin a pell & a couple of other grants to ride out this outrage of a BushCo economy.


Gravatar he used the phrase, 'Poopyl Grants for the poopy heads.' At the time I was in a narcissistic love of my own poop and a beneficiary of other people's poop but I never thought of myself as poopy or as poop grants being exclusively for the poopy.


GravatarWith the 85% wrong track number, pointing out bitterness seems like good politics.


GravatarFlory, are you at home or sleeping in the Admirals' Club?

It also goes by "owls".


GravatarJeffCo, you're showing your age with the Ellerbee comment.

And yes, I miss her and OVERNIGHT, too.

GravatarObama actually acknowledging the massive rage that has been building over the past thirty years in this catastrophically failed and still continuing Reagan revolution is like a number between five and seven busting into a big important decision room with newly sentient killer robots.

GravatarAtrios, I was wondering if you'd read this? It's right in your back yard, maybe even within view of your deck:

A neutral observer, state Rep. Dwight Evans, whose district is in northwest Philadelphia, said there might be a racial subtext to the dispute. Ward leaders, he said, see Obama airing millions of dollars worth of television ads in the city -- money that benefits largely white station owners, feeding resentment. People wonder why Obama isn't sharing the largesse with the largely African American field workers trying to get him elected, Evans said.

In accordance with the official rules for "The Way Things Work", the ODOT reprieve on removal of studded tires to April 5 resulted in snow and ice here in Central Orygun on the mornings of April 6, 7, 8, and 9. Yesterday's high was in the low 50's, today was in the high 60's, tomorrow will be in the 70's; by Monday it is supposed to be back in the 50's again...

This has been a long brutal winter and it may be July before all the high-elevation roads are melted out. I hear it's lovely in The Valley right now...

GravatarThanks for taking what I said to heart, Snow. Regarding what you posted upthread is true, early intervention works but schools and states are loathe to spend the money. It will very well take an act of Congress to make them do what is right.

My son has autism and his major deficit is speech. The school system still fights speech therapy for him because of funding issues and it is only through the insurance the company I work for that he got the speech therapy he needed (6 years too late for the optimal outcome you read about but I am thrilled at what the poor guy is able to do).

GravatarThanks for taking what I said to heart, Snow. Regarding what you posted upthread is true, early intervention works but schools and states are loathe to spend the money. It will very well take an act of Congress to make them do what is right.

And when they do spend the money, it tends to be chicken feed. Early intervention is my wife's line of work, and the field relies very heavily on the Missionary Effect. She has the choice of working privately with rich families, or with kids who don't have much of a safety net...the whole thing is incredibly frustrating.

Gravatar"Nick News with Linda Ellerbee received controversy on June 18, 2003 called My family is different, which featured kids and parents from same-sex households, along with openly lesbian parent Rosie O'Donnell, who talked about some of the discrimination they go through. It featured kids from more conservative households who are against equal treatment for same-sex households, including conservative comentator Jerry Falwell."

Autistic kids generally have problems absorbing nutrients, so nutrition is especially important in keeping them healthy and functional. But it's no substitute for speech therapy, prelinguistic communication, and so forth. You need both approaches.
