| With a crowd of excited second graders surrounding him Friday morning, you'd think Lt. Gov. John Garamendi was passing out candy bars. Instead, he was letting the Franklin Elementary School students take turns reading the Dr. Seuss book "Wacky Wednesday." As part of the 10th annual Read Across America day, Garamendi stopped by the Burlingame school's library to read passages from books to a group of second-graders and talk to them about the importance of reading. When he brought out the famous children's book "Where the Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak, the kids all cheered with excitement. But he got a different reaction from the students when he showed them Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth." "Are you ready for this big book?" he asked them. "No!" they screamed. |

| #7 Damnit, Mods! If you're going to declare Troll Hunting Season open, at least give me a few trolls to go after! Just let 'em post one or two messages here or there and I'll track 'em down and find 'em (or try to), or put 'em in the Sinktrap - I needs the thrill of the hunt! :-) Skunked again... |

| #5 "Are you ready for this big book?" he asked them. "No!" they screamed. "Do you want to be held after school and taken away from your parents?" "No!" they screamed. And the reeducation began peacefully. |

| #4 Are you ready for this big book?" he asked them. "No!" they screamed. LOL. Are you ready for this big book?" he asked them." Suddenly 3 large for 2nd graders commenced to do an athletic break dance accompanied by 14 year-old ESE students who seemed to be between classes. |
