My wife and I did not really want to watch much of the GOP convention. Nonetheless, like gawkers at a car wreck, we were inevitably drawn to the spectacle. In order to make the experience tolerable, we decided to play one of those drinking games in which we would each take a drink every time a certain phrase was uttered from the podium. We figured that by the time the main speeches were delivered, we would really not care whether they told the truth.
So here we sit, stone cold sober, a full bottle of Maker's Mark at the ready and we haven't even broken the wax seal.
I guess that "Osama bin Laden" was not the best choice for the game (click the link then click the icon labeled "Graphic: The Words Speakers' Use").
I came across this posting by chance while looking for information on autism among the Navajo. Am curious if you are aware of any sources I might access. Meanwhile, I read your comments on the GOP convention. I don't know you but I like your politics. My world of education has been so negatively impacted by the Bush administration. My focus is the family literacy model. The national family literacy program, Even Start, got zero funding from "W" yet it has been proven to serve the population that is even less prepared to parent than that served by Head Start.

We must all work together to get rid of every republican inoffice now. They hate socialism and are too pateriotic.
Mr. Bin Laden will not be mentioned until the October suprise!! What...nobody told you?
Posted by: Rose at September 3, 2004 10:21 PMDid you hear Zell Miller's frenetic paranoid speech? Zell "out-bolled" any "boll weevil" I have ever heard down south. He really swallowed that shit down to the core. Hey, the guy used to be part of the Democratic family. Has he taken leave of his senses since 9/11?
