Psallite? Gaudete?

Your friends could go for the very obvious: Tres Feminae (or something like that. My Latin is very rusty.)

I can't get Las Tres Hermanas out of my head! dork.

Psallite? Gaudete?

I'll pass on the suggestions! thanks!

Another friend has suggested the Fo Sho Ho's which may be true but maybe could limit the venues where they will be welcome.

Thank you, now I am earwormed with some piece of church music I sang when I was 12. "Psallite, unigenito! Christo deo filio. Et cetera."

flea, if it makes you feel any better, I earwormed myself with the same piece. I just can't remember who composed it.

Safe travel~ma, sara!

Michael Praetorius, according to the internet. [link] (scroll down). I actually remembered all the words, which is pretty good considering it was 25 years ago and in latin.

Newsweek has an excellent profile of Rachel Maddow.

All the ensuing hype and excitement about Maddow's rapid rise, and her quirks—the smart, self-described "butch dyke" who somehow broke into the cable-news boys' club—has masked the true reason for her success. It's not despite her differences from other talking heads, but because of them. A funny, cerebral and likable young woman who reads graphic novels and hungers for political change is more representative of the times than the older, angrier male pundits who've dominated the debate for so long. Maddow is not angry—her fans find her adorable, often confessing to crushes on her—but she is anxious, driven and determined. She did not stumble into a boys' club. She elbowed her way in, smiling.

As the economy continues to reel, a new report finds that 4 million American households lost economic security between 2000 and 2006, and that a majority of America's middle class households are either borderline or at high risk of falling out of the middle class altogether. The new report, "From Middle to Shaky Ground: The Economic Decline of America's Middle Class, 2000-2006" was published by the policy center Demos and the Institute for Assets and Social Policy (IASP) at Brandeis University.
