10. OK, so make me cry

:cry:

I couldn't go in today - after being at the Capitol every day this week. I woke up sick this morning, and despite the weather, I REALLY wished I could be in Madison! I feel like I'm letting people down by not showing up.

My son lived in Cairo for a year, studying Arabic. The past month has made me feel like I've been watching the birth of a sister-city.

Now it's our turn. :patriot:

THANK YOU WORLD! :grouphug:

[The Doctor.]

11. If this one pizza place manages to close the budget shortfall,

Will Republicans give it up?

Seriously though, this is fantastic. I'm quite glad for the boon to local businesses coming from such broad support of the working class.

[BOG PERSON]

12. north korea is buying americans pizza??

:wow:

[shraby]

13. It just says Korea on the blackboard..I believe that's South.

[pacalo]

15. Why would you think that?

:silly:

[Jackpine Radical]

24. On accounta them eeevil soshalists in Norf Kreeah is holpin

da eeeevil soshalists in Maddsun wots revoltin aginst there dooly lectid gubnar, datswy.

[pacalo]

28. Hahaaaa! I figured as such, but I love the way you put it.

Funny, the same assumption (or implication) has been made at *that* freeper place (where one can get fleas) -- the resentment toward us for having such support was fun to read. I'm still itching!

[calimary]

40. But sarah palin said North Korea was our ally!

:rofl:

[jillan]

16. I bet the working people of N Korea wish they could stand in solidarity with the rest of the

protesters around the globe.

[pacalo]

14. That's awesome! How wonderful!

[midnight]

17. I'm so speechless... We are realizing we are one people...

[jillan]

19. I'm beginning to think that we always have been, it's just been all of these horrible leaders that

have been dividing us apart. And now with the internet we can all find common ground once again.

[Jackpine Radical]

25. Yes. We get unfiltered evidence of everyone's humanity--

those of us who are open to hearing the message. And I think almost all of the younger generation are able to hear the message.

[pampango]

47. Wonderful. There is no "us vs them" based on nationality, only in terms of a willingness to share.

:)

[Hissyspit]

18. Here's a link to Sonoman's Thread encouraging people to order, with links to my original

thread about this: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x460672

Some interesting stuff in those threads, including more pictures.

Was a bit disappointed those threads didn't make it to the front page for more visibility, but maybe this one will. New orders being taken at at 11 a.m. Central time(??).
