• RT @nprscottsimon: I really try not to use this forum to criticize. But does Lou Dobbs’ birth certificate say Earth? #

• Ditto, Steve! Rtwt @steveburnett: @TEDxAVL Only 400 seats and no advance tickets = risk that driving from Raleigh is a wasted trip. #TEDxAVL #

• . @jennababin Good job on The Story today. I liked the juxtaposition of civil rights history and gay rights today. in reply to jennababin #

• @WeaverStreet If you have any Greek Macaroni Salad left, take if off the shelves. Something in it tastes very wrong, maybe the feta. Ech. #
