TheMatt Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Also, the NRA is having their convention in St Louis right now. I imagine there was a bit of a change in the tenor of the reporting this morning. All the articles I've seen so far have focused on the positive economic impact of the convention. After this...

Squeat Mungry Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 My brother's best friend teaches English at VT. No word yet. Very distressing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GG Mora Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Just a friendly reminder: 4. Mouthfuls does not permit members to start threads about politics or religion or to raise politics or religion as topics for discussion (including making critical comments or jokes which in the judgment of the Administrators may provoke such discussion).

ETA: cross posted with Cathy--I hope your former intern's BF is okay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
