I am proud to be a Girl Scout leader. I believe in this organization and I am a very active volunteer and for the past two years have been a service unit manager. Earlier this week and today, I received email forwards from two leaders in my service unit, alleging that Girl Scouts had distributed an explicit sex pamphlet to underage girls attending a conference at the UN. I passed off the first forward as a wingnut wetdream. But the second made it clear that this one isn't going away and now GSUSA has issued an official statement that in my viewpoint, gives C-Fam a well deserved smack upside the head. More after the fold.

Welcome to the weekly series WAYWO, What Are You Working On, which is aimed toward crafters and creative people in our Daily Kos community. We welcome all sorts to come in and talk about what is currently on your project plate, be it home improvements, needlecrafts, kidcrafts, writing, blacksmithing, or anything else you can think of!  We also welcome anyone to guest host WAYWO - just post a comment and we'll get you on the schedule. Join our email notification Yahoo group and you'll know when WAYWO is posted. http://groups.yahoo.com/...

This is my first time hosting WAYWO and I'm feeling a little sheepish because not only do I not have a project-in-process to share, I waited until the last minute to start writing this. So welcome to the PROCRASTINATOR'S EDITION of WAYWO. ☺

I returned to West Virginia on Saturday afternoon to do my small part for the Obama campaign. Since I grew up in and went to college in WVa, it's where I cut my political teeth. But I left in the mid 80's and hadn't been back even to visit for at seven years, so I wasn't sure what to expect. More after the fold.

It's hard to believe that it's only been five weeks since the first meeting of the Lake Norman for Obama volunteer group. About forty of us showed up for the first meeting, most of us strangers to one another, many having been inspired to volunteer for the first time in their lives.

Last night we celebrated together as Obama trounced Clinton by a margin of 70% to 29% in Mecklenburg county, all of us thrilled to have been a part of making that happen. Follow me across the fold and I'll tell you how it came to pass.
