Though I barely write any diarys or comments, I didn't see this anywhere and I'm still getting my mind around it.

A little bit of background...I grew up and still live in the St Louis area.  We don't have much of a Jewish community.  I remember when I was in school (in the 80's), there was only one Jewish girl in my class (that I knew of).  Religious diversity is not very common here.

Tonight I was making dinner, half paying attention to the local news, when I heard something that I was just sure couldn't be true.  After dinner, I went to my computer and looked it up.  Yep...one of our local middle schools had spirit week this week and one of their special days was "hit a Jew day".

This is a call to action to readers in the St. Louis area and ones with friends there. We need people to take part in a "Lie In" at Washing University on Thursday night.

The idea is simple show up at McCain/Palin events wearing Pinocchio noses and help attach the liar label to them.

We had a great action in NY last week (check out our nose cam footage)
