It isn't on TV - not on any of the cable news channels or the three Cspans.

12. Obama - I'm a Union guy. People, even if they aren't in a Union, should be thankful to them
because they are why we have a minimum wage, 40 hour work week, overtime, child labor laws, etc. Plus more pro-union talk. :)

13. Now a question about immigration.
Edited on Tue Apr-27-10 05:21 PM by Pirate Smile
He gave a long answer. He wants comprehensive immigration reform. AZ law isn't good. He talked about how a person whose great grandparents could have been in AZ long before it was even a state and could now get hassled taking his kids out for ice cream because he is Hispanic. Reform will need to be bipartisan. He said he could bring a majority of Dems to vote for it but the other side has to bring some people as well or else it can't happen because it is too easy to demagogue the issue.

17. My parents & grandparents used to have it sometimes and it isn't uncommon
here (I'm in Iowa). I think it is similar to strawberry or it gets mixed with them to make pie sometimes. :shrug:

20. Oh GOSH, my favorite, Strawberry Rhubarb pie! It's sour and sweet
and tastes like a green apple pie.

WONDERFUL!!!

21. I eat rhubarb pie.. it was a so good...
Rhubarb pie is a pie that is particularly popular in those areas where the rhubarb plant is commonly cultivated, including the British Isles and the New England region of the United States. Besides diced rhubarb, it almost always contains a large amount of sugar to balance the intense tartness of the plant. Rhubarb pie is often eaten together with ice cream.
