[uppityperson]

5. PEEPS are people too, they deserve enough money to peep on.

Easter eggs are the unborn chickens of tomorrow. They deserve budget protection too.

[Lizzie Borden]

6. Okay, made me laugh.

Thanks!

17. Something I still wonder

Which came first? The chicken or the egg? Will the eggs parents be covered too? I love peeps. They're so cute.

[Goldeneye]

7. I was listening.

Him talking about millions of jellybeans was almost humerous. It was kind of endearing to hear his old, wavery voice talking about jellybeans, marshmallows and eggs filled with chocolate while standing at a podium in the US senate.

8. I brought this up in another forum, saying, "What's up w/

Sen. Byrd?" because he went from talking about coal miners to sitting on the porch with his wife and dog and enjoying the Spring. It made me laugh, but apparently some DU'ers took like I was dissing him and said I "lacked maturity" for not understanding what he was saying or doing. Give me a fucking break.

[FreedomAngel82]

18. Is he going to pass candy out next?

I'd love some jellybeans.

[autorank]

9. I'll follow Sen. Byrd anywhere"! I'm sure it's highly relevant, sure!

[Generator]

10. Get this thread on the home page!

Not only is it political, it's seasonal. My two favorite things.

Oh and Peeps rule!

[knight_of_the_star]

11. WTF!?!?

Ok...

Maybe he's trying to see who is paying attention.

[frictionlessO]

12. Oh boy oh boy oh boy! Hypno is gonna love this!! n/t
