Pussy.

I’d do it...

I agree with you. After hearing/reading about this "ice bucket challenge" about a dozen times I finally took the time to find out what all the fuss is about.

My reaction: "This is so damn gay I wish I never heard about it."

"Taday, I feel like da luckiest man on da face of de Oith. I hopes youse all go home and dump a buckit of ice wodda over yer heads ta show yer support against da illness wots killin' me. Den post it on dat YouTube thing them kids got on da computah."

The sleaze at ABC didn’t mention the lovely Nikki Haley, Republican governor of South Carolina?

Nope. They led with some Kennedy clown.

[murron]

As did Bobby Jindal.

POST OF THE DAY!!!!!

With great respect I think this is a fantastic idea. The amount of money raised by this has been extraordinary, and ALS research will be the beneficiary. Most people don’t even know it was started by people in Boston to do something to help former Boston College baseball player Pete Frates. My niece’s father will likely not live until Christmas because of this dreadful disease. Sometimes the methods are strange but the message is getting through.

Why would he take such a challenge...he’s never broken a sweat in his life.

LOL, Lou must have been in on that super-secret cell phone project in the 30’s that you see pictures of & discussed on the wack sites. ;-)

[Slings and Arrows]

Hey, I saw the movie. ;^)

[DocJhn]

Above his pay grade! This is for a good cause Mr. President.
Oprah did not deny it!

I agree. Also, it’s not enough to quietly do good any more. People have to make sure everyone knows how wonderful they are. I really hate Parade Magazine’s “make a difference day”. People make a difference every day by doing their jobs and taking care of their families.

Good Lord, what’s so “challenging” about this? Here in GA it sounds positively DELIGHTFUL!

[EDINVA]

I read that the ice bucket challenge has raised >$4M for ALS so far. That compares to the $43K raised last summer with conventional fundraising.

Tar and feathers. I’ll bring the rail he can be ridden out of town on.

Tar and feather$, I’ll bring the rail he, can be ridden out of town....On?

[jocon307]

WOW, so it turned out to be a pretty brilliant idea.
