Where is it I can't find it? I can't find the old one either since I probably missed the last ten pages??

Apparently it went *poof*. I must have missed the reason why.

I'm wondering that as well.... I went into the browser history and clicked the link for it, but it says it's invalid.

I sent a note to the mods inquiring about where it went, but haven't heard anything yet

It appears to have been deleted. I wonder who might have caused that? I guess no joking around is allowed anymore, the lurkers will cry to mommy.

What were they joking about? The sky falling or something? If it was deleted, then another new one cannot be started.

Um . . . maybe I'll PM you.

Hi my fellow libs. Ya'll are great! Have I said that today?

You don't have to. Our parents raised us to have good self-esteem. That's why were liberals!

Or maybe we just got it some other way. Either way, thank you.

Uh oh. Toddlers waking up . . . . .

Right back at you!

Can we have a Mutual Admiration Society thread?

Did you know that the memorial service for Obama's grandmother wasn't the official funeral? It was actually organized with the help of Obama and his sister Maya, so that Madelyn Dunham's friends and co-workers could pay their respects. Barack and his family wanted to be there so much, but the timing didn't permit such a lengthy trip, and the logistics would have been nightmarish if not impossible.

Here is what People had to say:

At the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl, in Honolulu Friday, at a memorial service for friends and co-workers, President-elect Obama's grandmother Madelyn Dunham -- who died the Sunday night before her grandson was elected president -- was eulogized as a strong woman.

There will be a private memorial for family members later this year. (in December, according to multiple sources)

Obama and his half-sister Maya Soetoro-Ng sent a letter read by Al Landon, chief executive officer of the Bank of Hawaii, where Dunham had worked. Using the Hawaiian word for grandmother -- "Tutu" -- Obama and Soetoro-Ng wrote, "When Tutu found out that she had little time remaining, she insisted that we dispense with excessive solemnity or sorrow. She was not afraid of any storm and withstood many in her 86 years. We feel fortunate to have had so much time with our Tutu. She spent more time raising us than did most grandmothers and we benefited from her closeness; we are stronger and wiser because of her."

She "taught us to be mindful and moderate, to be patient when calm was warranted and to act when action was necessary," Landon read. "She liked playing bridge, a good mystery novel, jigsaw puzzles and an annual cruise.

"She was fiercely loyal and protective of those whom she loved and had little patience for foolishness," said the letter. "She motivated us to work harder and to take pride in our work, irrespective of salary or prestige."

Master of ceremonies Emme Tomimbang said of President-elect Obama, "It broke his heart not to be here. Even though Barack and Maya couldn't be here physically, they were here in spirit. In fact, they both helped put this together."

Dunham was cremated, but it's not yet clear what will become of her ashes. After his mother's death in 1995, President-elect Obama scattered her ashes from an Oahu shoreline.

I'm sure it was very hard for him not to be there, and I'm so glad that he and his family will get to honor her in private very soon.

I know how much his grandmother meant to him.



Grieving is a very private matter.

I wish his family peace.

It's upsetting that some don't do the same.

Really sad. The passing of his grandmother kind of made his being elected, bittersweet. I wish she could have lived to see him elected. How proud she would have been of her grandson.
