A sprinkling of smileys on the immigration speech.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

gwb is told about hundreds of thousands of protestors, marching against his war and immigration policies...his response :eyes:

When told that dozens of racist, xenophobic people were protesting him in front of the WH, he acted decisively...well, first he :scared:, then he :cry: then he :hide:

OK, time for the WH spin team, led by Tony Snow...:+

Here's the idea...:think:

Get gwb on live TV to talk about "cracking down" on those "Ill-Leegals"! :woohoo:

Yessss! We rock...:headbang:

Uh oh, just a few little glitches in the plan..:yoiks:

The networks aren't happy because it's May Sweeps...:mad:

The Mexican president isn't happy that the USA will have soldiers at the border...:grr:

The conservatives aren't happy because it's a totally sucky plan that does nothing to address the issue...:banghead:

The liberals aren't happy with the plan, however, they do see it for the idiotic attempt at diversion that it represents.:popcorn:

Snow to spin team...can we blame this on Clinton? :shrug: MKJ

For decades the yellow happy-face symbol has encouraged millions to smile.

The smiley face and "Have a Nice Day" helped to define the '70s. With two dots and a pencil stroke, schoolchildren have brightened handwritten messages by filling in their O's with mini-smileys. These days, nary a cheery e-mail is complete without a typographical smile.

But now a bitter legal battle over smiley could be enough to make the happy little symbol frown. Wal-Mart Stores Inc., which uses a yellow happy face to try to put its shoppers in a carefree mood, is saying--with a straight face--that it has exclusive rights to the familiar image, at least among retail department stores.
