  1. Afternoon Conan. Who's Donna Guthrie? Was she the one who organised the egg throwing thing?

  4. This poem is one of the most exploited and is used whether or not it is actually suitable to the topic at hand. How about an updated version:

    First they came from India
    And I did not speak out
    Because we owed it to the Indians

    Then they came from Pakistan
    And I did not speak out
    Because we had already let the Indians in

    Then they came from Somalia
    And I did not speak out
    Even though I wanted to

    Then they came from Poland
    And I did not speak out
    Because I was called a racist

    Then they came from everywhere
    And even though I tried to speak
    Nobody listened
