Butterstick is the son of temporary guest workers!

Marchers Flood Mall With Passion, Pride
Thousands of marchers gathered on the National Mall in downtown Washington DC yesterday to show their support and voice their concerns on immigration reform.

"Many in the group had worked furiously to prepare for the event. Anh Phan, with the Organization of Chinese Americans, kept rejecting possible slogans for signs until she came up with a winner -- a poster of panda celebrity Tai Shan with the caption "Butterstick is the son of immigrants!" [Has anyone seen this poster? I'd buy that.]

"Well, if we're being precise, it would be 'son of temporary guest workers,' since they're going back," Phan said." Thank you to CP2 for this contribution!
