Fun meme (thanks to bethr--see her lj for her sources)

Text as follows:

"I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. I read your journals when time allows, or we have something else in common, and we chat occasionally. Some of you I hardly know at all. Perhaps you lurk, for whatever reason. But you friended me (or I friended you), and I thank you for your interest in my words.

"But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: 'Ah, there's so and so...they enjoy the savory aroma of monkey brains a la mode.'

"I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this. Yes, even you people who I know really well. Then, if you like, post this in your own journal and see what gems of knowledge appear."

The only issues on which the republicans are more verbose are God/Bible, Reagan, abortion, and taxes. IOW, they have a lot less to say about the things the Federal government can actually do to make our country and the world a better place.
