    I'm thinking Professor Gates read our posts here. He sent Lucia Whalen flowers and a note of thanks.

    The woman whose 911 call set in motion this week's White House "beer summit"--but who didn't score an invite to the confab--has received a "beautiful" bouquet of flowers from Harvard Prof. Henry Louis Gates Jr.

    The lawyer for 911 caller Lucia Whalen, Wendy Murphy, tells me that the flowers were accompanied by "a nice note of gratitude" from Gates who has previously said he appreciated Whalen reporting what appeared to her to be a break in to Gates's Cambridge, Mass. home.

    Grace, Pirtate4x4 or Gunsnet probably had a bigger impact then PT.

    FYI, I googled Pirtate4x4, and got this - Did you mean: Pirate4x4 Top 2 results shown

    I googled Gunsnet, and got this - http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=Gunsn...fp=flbC24gbdiA

    I have no idea what either of those has to do with the subject of Professor Gates sending flowers to Lucia Whalen.

    Would you care to explain, or are you just being rude tonight?

    Good Grief!

    WHY don't you just POST the correct URL and be done with it?


    Do we really need all this DRAMA in every thread?

    Hey, guys, enough of the bickering, okay? There's no need to argue about this, you can do that in PMs if you want, but it has nothing to do with the rest of Pet Talk. Simply explaining that those are other forums or venues would have been more helpful.

    Be nice, children. T'was two people getting all hepped up for not much reason that started this whole kerfluffle in the first place.

    Then the kerfluffle becomes a 'todo' that goes right into a 'scrum'!

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -

    Divided we fall.

    I laugh, therefore? I am.

    My niece's husband posted something on his Facebook status the day of the *suds summit* that went like this "(blank) is peeved that the president gets to have a beer at work." I wrote back that I found that less offensive than what Bill Clinton "had" at work.
