made me smile . . . .

Fred Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church has announced plans to picket the funeral of Reverend Jerry Falwell. They say: "WBC will preach at the memorial service of the corpulent false prophet Jerry Falwell, who spent his entire life prophesying lies and false doctrines like 'God loves everyone'. There is little doubt that Falwell split Hell wide open the instant he died. The evidence is compelling, overwhelming, and irrefragable."

I don't think "irrefragable" is an actual word, but it makes me want to dance my cares, worry, it's for another day, maybe I'll let the music play . . .


On NPR I heard a cute story out of NOLA about KIPP schools, part of the Knowledge is Power Program.

Two little black girls were fighting, and one girl was in the wrong so she apologized, not just to the other girl, but . . .

"Not just the school, but New Orleans. We're supposed to change New Orleans, and how I'm going to change New Orleans if I'm fighting all the time?" she says.

The other students respond to her apology by snapping their fingers in a round of quiet KIPP applause. C'mon, NOLA, forgive this girl already!

We need LESS fighting, and MORE snapping. Or more Snapple!


Now I'm gonna go cry over Melissa Doolitte and Coach Asshole Capello some more . . :(
