From ThinkProgress: This past weekend, Pat Buchanan hosted a conference to discuss how Republicans can regain a majority in America. The conference included Republicans who strongly support English-only initiatives.

I was standing in line at the grocery store. The lady in front of me had a bunch of stuff for a big meal, including a package of Chinese noodles. It was a big package, as big as a small pillow, and the long, white noodles inside looked like a sample of attic insulation. The girl bagging the lady's groceries had never seen them before. She held up the package and said, "Is this like food?"
She didn't say, "Is this, like, food?" or "Is THIS like... FOOD?" The word "like" just randomly got stuck in there. I thought, maybe grocery stores have a classification system: there's food, and then there's like food-- stuff that could be food if you really needed food, or if you already had enough attic insulation.
She even repeated, "Is this like food?" when the lady didn't hear her the first time. |

Me: "It's a chemical reaction, like... like that stuff in turkey that makes you sleepy-- what's it called?"
Her: "You mean... hashish?" |

You never know
When someone
May catch a dream
From you...
You never know
When a little word
Or something
You may do
Might open up
The shutters
For a mind
That seeks the light.
The way you live
May not matter at all
But you never know
... It might. |
