I’ve been a fan of the Grameen Bank for years, and this thrills me.

The Nobel Peace Prize goes to…

1.

I find it incredible that so many smart people disbelieve everything the Bush administration says, and buy everything that anyone opposed to the administration says.

Lord knows I hate the Shrub with a passion I have hitherto reserved for Jim Morrison, but recognizing that both sides will stretch the truth is important to being a responsible citizen.

This isn’t triggered by anything here, but by something I’ve seen on another list I belong to.

2.

I’m thinking of going out for a slam team again just to fuck with the NPS slam conventions, but I’m trying to weigh that against the probable desires of other teammates. iWPS isn’t an option for me; I like iWPS as it is.

Maybe I’ll slam to get on the Providence team…heh, heh, heh…

Anyone added this? I just did…it allows you to IM other folks on your LJ friends list.

I could care less about that, as I detest IMs.

What I like is this: it also allows you to MAKE PHONE CALLS FOR FREE to other LJ friends via your external mike and speakers.

As a person who has no land line and tries to minimize cell usage, I am most interested in this…GO GET IT and let’s talk!

I’m curious: where do you place your open mike in your show, and what are the pros and cons?

I’m thinking about shifting our format at Gotpoetry from open mike 1st, feature second after a smoke break. We don’t have a slam.

Thoughts? I’d appreciate it. TIA.
