This is from 2009, but I wanted to re-post it because today is "Spread the word to end the word" day. Every time I hear somebody refer to Skyler as "retard" I die a little more inside. Our-kids is a group of over 1000 people who all are people who are in one way or another in the special needs community. Most of us are parents, but there are teachers, doctors, therapists, siblings, and some are the person with the diagnosis. It is a worldwide community, but most are from the United States. We benefit from having an international membership, because it can be quite interesting to hear about viewpoints or medical procedures that are going on in other countries. Over the years, I have had faceless names become close friends, engaged in discussions about body functions you wouldn’t mention to your doctor, and gained a valuable sounding board for advice and ideas. I have grown to care about a lot of these people, and their lives as much as some of my own friend
Ah! I can't watch this. I TiVoed it last night!
ReplyDeleteFantastic!
ReplyDeleteI heart Jon Stewart.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff. I love Limbaugh's insistance that Obama come on his show and debate him. As if Rush Limbarf was significant enough to demand anything besides more doughnuts and drugs. This slimy, seething hustler of hate needs to crawl back under the pit toilet from whence he slunk.
ReplyDeleteHeh. Nice video
ReplyDeleteBless Jon Stewart.
ReplyDeleteLimbaugh is a blowhard bully. He's a combination of Father Coughlin and drunken Joe McCarthy. Obama's chief of staff Rahm Emanuel also realizes that Limbaugh is going to drive the Republican car right off the cliff.
john stewart puts ANY 'journalist' to shame
ReplyDeleteAhhh, Jon Stewart, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways....
