Here is your Wednesday antidote to everything annoying on the Internet (meaning everyone being unable to shut up about Tim Tebow, AGAIN): a completely adorable video of a deaf college student, Stephon, signing "I am proud of you" to Barack Obama and the President signing "thank you" in response without missing a beat.
Interesting! Thank you. I thought it would be universal - like the Plains Indian sign language that permitted various tribes to communicate quite easily.
Agreed, Frothy, we will always be the generation that saw the equivalent of the first Jewish pope. (I am sure somebody will cite my ignorance, but it is late)
Corporate life sucks, but its a quiet, cold, fluorescent lit sucking, with poor leadership. Usually with grudgingly given benefits and little praise or fulfillment, so there's that. Might explain why I am still awake now. But, seriously, this Bamz video made me choke up, my heart grew three sizes, and I won't have quite as severe road rage tomorrow.
Is sign a universal language? Not to go all "Chicken of the Sea" here, but is it really "American" sign language? Or is it an international language - like, say, math?
People don't realize it's considered a different language, even though it has its own syntax and and you have to learn new ways to communicate every single word.

I need more thumbs to give you for knowing this.
That page is in elitist Braille, which O also reads, because, obvs!!!

Santorum and (r)Money would have both thrown down "Rock" and declared themselves the winner!
This gives me an ouchie in my heart region.
I predict...
Rightwing noise machine will claim the college student was planted.
Any other guesses?
Ole Newt would have known just what to do.
He would have given that kid the finger.
