Today is the day of silence (well at least here it is). Is it that way everywhere else? Anyone participating?
I am.

National Vow of Silence Day
killijoy - Friday, April 25, 2008 - 14:16
Today is National Vow of Silence Day for the Gay and Lesbian (as well as Transvestite and Transsexual) Community. I have actually taken the Vow of Silence, which for me is amazing because I SERIOUSLY can not keep my mouth shut for more than two or more seconds. But since I heard the news, my lips have been zipped...as well as numerous classmates. It's actually much easier than I thought. Even my most evil teachers have become leniant when I just hand in the piece of paper explaining why I'm not talking. In fact, I have received a lot of respect and accomadations from the teachers, which makes me very happy. No talking makes asking questions like "How are we going to explain we're not talking to the evil Science teacher from hell who doesn't believe in gay or lesbian people?" to my friend who takes the same Chem class rather difficult, but with pens and a free spot on our arms, it works out. We gesticulate a lot and smile and hug and wave and flap and mouth and mock-sign language and somehow, we get the point across. It acutally is really fun, and I can't wait for next year's National Vow of Silence Day.
Another Republican shows his true colors....
U.S. Congressional candidate Tony Zirkle is facing criticism from one of his primary opponents, and a host of people on the Internet, for speaking at an event over the weekend that celebrated Adolf Hitler's birthday.
Zirkle confirmed to The News-Dispatch on Monday he spoke Sunday in Chicago at a meeting of the Nationalist Socialist Workers Party, whose symbol is a swastika.
You know, most politicans go out of their way to avoid being associated with this group.
