Found this joke on a site that sells t-shirts. Since theyre apparently ‘into’ the whole ‘capitalist’ thing ;), ill add the link
President Bush was visiting a primary school and he dropped in on one of the classes. They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asked the President if he would like to lead the discussion of the word “tragedy”.

Thanks for stopping in….
Hang out and chit chat for awhile… and when you’re done
check out some of the excellent offerings on our recent and rec’d list.
O & Please don’t rec the pony party, another will trot up in a few hours.(^.^)
It occured to me this morning that I’ve seen some new ‘faces’ around…
And that we’ve probably grown some since I joined in mid-September.
So I went on a search and found that the last three users to join were
1366~kyledeb on May 19, 2008
1365~YippieAgain on May 19, 2008
and 1364~ohmproject on May 19, 2008!!!
I’d like to extend a Warm Welcome to these and ALL the {{{new dharmenizens}}}
I’m sooo happy you’ve found your way here!
I urge & encourage, no implore & entreat you to open up, join in the conversations going on… We’d like to get to know you (^.^)
we’d love to meet all you ‘lurkers’ out there also…don’t think we don’t know you’re there!
Please ask questions, jump in anywhere if you don’t understand… Pony Parties & News on the Front Page are always open threads… many people stop by these without commenting- this is a Great Place to put questions! Everyone is very friendly & helpful & will be happy to answer you.
We blog here in what I call 3/4 time… I sometimes re-visit the same essay for 3-4 days having long, extended conversations.
So, know that your question WILL be seen, just maybe not immediately (for immediate help see ‘contact us’)
And this leads us to…. be sure to check in your ‘Recent Replies’ (right side of page under ‘menu’ is ‘your comments’ then hit the ‘recent replies’ tab) with regularity! Sometimes you will get a reply to a comment you made yesterday or the day before.
While you are on Your Page be sure to look over ‘Profile’. This is where you can set your preferences… I’m not sure about comment preferences (see ek hornbeck or On The Bus) but under Display Prefs you can set ‘# of recent comments’ and ‘recent essays diaries’ to 50 each and never have to leave the front page (^.^)
Also on the right hand side is a ‘Series’ link under DharmaDocs. Most of the ongoing features are listed here….it’s an easy way to catch up on your favorite series!
These are my favorite features at docudharma… I’m hoping others will share theirs ::anyone?, c’mon y’all… help me out!::
Welcome! I’m glad you’re Here!!!
O! & there is only one rule….
Be excellent to each other!

I read an interesting article at the Christian Science Monitor called “Iraqi Women Eye Islamic Law”. (its written by jill carroll, btw)
Because the United Iraqi Alliance is currently being controlled by Shiites, the oppressive sharia law is now taking away some of the rights and freedoms afforded Iraqi women under Sadaam Hussein. Where Iraq had once been progressive, in relative terms, for a Muslim nation, the laws imposed on women are becoming more conservative.

This Tuesday Pony Party is brought to you by Liquid Gold
http://www.liquidgoldbook.com/…
Our music is provided by Green Milk from the Planet Orange.
A Review that I thought was a parody of music reviews. Maybe not.
Green is the colour of my true love’s milk.

The myspace:
Bloggers with pets and small children may not want to play any of these at full volume. Or half volume. Or at all..
These are all somewhat lengthy. Some start slowly.
Do not rec the Pony Party!
Although I suspect there’s only a few that would.
I don’t suppose it’ll take much to encourage you to read the Front Page, Recommended Essays, and anything else you can find.
Oh, a Special Comment: I won’t be able to do the Pony Party next Tuesday the 27th because I’ll be moving to a different gutter, and probably won’t have the intertubes cleared that day. so if anyone wants to PINCH HIT get in touch with pfiore8 or RiaD…or better yet, a bunch of people just start posting essays with Pony in the title at 6:00 Eastern, 3:00 Pacific next Tuesday. If you don’t, masslass might end up doing it, and nobody really wants that.

Pablo Neruda was a Chilean born poet, who had a diplomatic career, and was politically actively. A life long leftist, he was a communist who at one time extolled the virtues of Stalin and like many came to regret that. Neruda had to go into hiding at one point in his life.
He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971.
Read about Neruda here, here, and here.
So what are y’all doing this weekend? I have to balance fun with duty somehow. The house looks like a colony of giant rats has taken over.
Please don’t rec pony party, hang out, chit chat, and then go read the excellent offerings on our recent and rec’d list.

A federal judge has turned back the Democratic National Committee’s attempt to mount a legal challenge against Sen. John McCain for his decision to withdraw from the presidential public financing system.
The reason is explained in the Washinton Post story
