explosion of members in the last week? ... or the U.S.Senate (yikes)?

Don't worry about that none of them are computer literate.
wow

That would mean only half the US Senate signed up (wondering if it was the Democrats or the Republicans?)

Nix on letting half of the Senate in here. It would then be inquorate all the time, and the Nation's legislative needs would be neglected.

I guess that would not be necessarily true, but it was an excuse to use a recent Today's Word.

BeingCJ, would you repeat your post? I didn't understand it.

You could have all of the Labour government in New Zealand with the exception of the Prime Minister, Nanny - er, sorry, I mean HELEN Clark. The rest of them don't get to do very much and being on the Board might keep them from being too bored ...

Interesting. While she may be from the party that gave us the Nanny state, she seems to me to talk less like a nanny than Jenny. Isn't it intriguing how, with a few rare exceptions like Simon Upton, the varying degrees of sinistrality in NZ politics seem to score the sharpest minds? I'm sure Geoffrey Palmer and Al Gore would get on famously, without having to worry about personalities getting in the way.

Yes, AnnaS, I had to read it a couple of times - But ti comes clear if you realise that Being CJ cites the sight in order to incite his friends to visit the site.

Sorry for the confusion. Sometimes I type to fast ,leave words out & my spelling sucks. I'll keep trying, it's ok to correct me I won't get offended.

Yes I mean this website.
The missing word at the beginning was fairly.
The last phrase should have been a sentence saying, this is so much fun you just have to pass it on.

My favorite english teacher is the person I introduced to awad. We are both administrators here, he still teaches his writing class & holds his students accountable for both mechanics of the english language, and the subject matter of the assignments.

I'm just going to bite my tongue here, for the greater good.
