Thanks Kaze. I'll get right on this "Hot Bed of Civil Rights" issue or location and let my loud voice be heard. Thanks for looking out. You Da Man!

Interesting group. Who wants to make a list of the Tougaloo connections and the Haley supporters?

Kaze, is Mike Espy's email address correct? Looks like you might be missing an E.

BTW, fantastic job today! However, not trying to be your mama or anything, but uh, could you take the gum out of your mouth before you get up there? You were chewing hard, man! LOL

Now, it wasn't like he was smacking now, L.W.

(And it wasn't like we were whispering *that* much, either. <smile>)

Urbangypsy, I was wondering that, too. Which on that list are Tougaloo grads, and which are clear Barbour supporters? That would be interesting, at least.

And Kaze- as a former Speech and Drama teacher- you were really good today- concise, on point. You just keep getting better at this.

And as the same former Speech and Drama teacher- I really wanted you to spit the gum out too. Sorry, one of my pet peeves. But I'm sure people want me to stop doing some of the things I do too.

So- whatever works for you-as always, you are true Kaze all the time.

Judge Anderson's email bounced back. Espy's went through as far as I can tell.

posted by L.W. on 02/25/08 at 09:59 PM

Izzy: I wouldn't be too sure your church doesn't preach hate if your liturgy is not gender-inclusive. Think about it - is God really a "He" or a "Father"? Those are some images or visions of ...
