Stephen Colbert's commencement speech:
And when you enter the workforce, you will find competition from those crossing our all-too-porous borders. Now I know you're all going to say, "Stephen, Stephen, immigrants built America." Yes, but here's the thing--it's built now. I think it was finished in the mid-70s sometime. At this point it's a touch-up and repair job. But thankfully Congress is acting and soon English will be the official language of America. Because if we surrender the national anthem to Spansih, the next thing you know, they'll be translating the Bible. God wrote it in English for a reason! So it could be taught in our public schools.
So we must build walls. A wall obviously across the entire southern border. That's the answer. That may not be enough--maybe a moat in front of it, or a fire-pit. Maybe a flaming moat, filled with fire-proof crocodiles. And we should probably wall off the northern border as well. Keep those Canadians with their socialized medicine and their skunky beer out. And because immigrants can swim, we'll probably want to wall off the coasts as well. And while we're at it, we need to put up a dome, in case they have catapults. And we'll punch some holes in it so we can breathe. Breathe free. It's time for illegal immigrants to go--right after they finish building those walls. Yes, yes, I agree with me.

tommy, how long will the experiment take?
Aimée - there are some really wonderful pictures of you and Em from the F2F. I mean, not that there aren't lovely pictures of her that you posted in the past, but I just love the pictures in which you both are together, her expression when looking at you, when relaxing in your arms. And yours, when she does that, too.

Awww! Thanks, Nilly. I so enjoy her. She's at such a fun age. Her godparents bought her a little blow up pool so she speant part of the weekend jumping around in that. She had a blast.
And, how is your friends daughter? Or son? I'm so horrible, I keep forgetting. I apologize for my sieve of a brain.
tommy, how long will the experiment take?
The study is a year. If it turns out I got the sham injection I can get a real one in six months. Besides that, I just have to come in once a month so ophthalmologists (not the one who injected me today) can examine my progress, if any.
The actual treatment involved a thingie (made of the same material as self-dissolving sutures) that releases a steroid over the course of six weeks, then dissolves.

Pentacost
What's that?
The beginning of the Christian church. The Holy Spirit and a translation miracle were involved, but I'm fuzzy on the details. Christians are also encouraged to wear red on that day, but I don't know why.

The Holy Spirit is often symbolized by a red flame, as there were tongues of fire floating above people's heads during Pentacost.
I think.
translation miracle were involved
I think maybe glossalia (speaking in tongues) also happened....
