Subject: Tell Obama: We're Counting on You

Hi,

President Obama will give a major speech next week laying out what he thinks needs to be in the health care bill.

This is a critical crossroads. The president needs to hear that Americans are counting on him to stand up to the status quo and fight for real reform with a strong public health insurance option.

I just signed a petition telling President Obama I'm counting on him to fight hard for a bold health care reform bill. Can you join me at the link below?

Thanks!

i'm starting a meme (Epithets)

So, Sundara (on LJ and DW) today posted about rescuing a turtle from the road, and how this is actually a not-rare occurance for her.

Forthwith, I dubbed her Rescuer of Turtles.

Years ago, she reminds me, she dubbed me Namer of Things. (Though I cling to my earlier self-designation, "Destroyer of Hairbrushes" -- have you SEEN my hair???)

Here is how you play:

tag someone on your flist to give you an epithet in the form of X of Z, where X = an action word, and Z = a noun.

alternately dub yourself, or anyone on your flist who invites you do gift them with an epithet.

Who wants to play?
