faked by gorjus Tuesday, December 19th, 2006When you last checked in on us, La Cat and I were watching Love Actually and Road Trip (simultaneously!) whilst ensconced at the Ambassador, shaking underneath the sheets, knowing that at any minute the phone would ring, and the call would ring forth:
“TIME TO PUT THE BOOZE UP IN THE MOUTHS!!” would say Jaysus, or something, well, likely more eloquent. But with that general sentiment.

Victoria Monroe: Mississippi Hero.
faked by gorjus Tuesday, December 5th, 2006Last week a seventeen-year old woman named Victoria Monroe walked out of her class at the Mississippi School for the Deaf. Nineteen of her fellow students joined her.
The students were angry over a school system that failed to provide them with teachers that could speak to them. Ms. Monroe, as well as other students, were called upon to translate for the teachers—to act as interpreters for the class.
They were fed up, and the sucessful and extraordinary protest at Gallaudet University inspired them to do something about it—and they fought with their absence.
Wonderfully, gloriously, the school quickly terminated two of the administrators and it looks like the students will get their wish—and what they deserve: competent teaching in their language.
Prettyfakes loves Victoria Monroe!!
