Desiree Rogers has lots of friends on Facebook

From "the Chicago Tribune":http://www.chicagotribune.com/features/ct-talk-desiree-rogers-facebook-0304-2-20100303,0,4177954.story: "Devastated" when Chicagoan Desiree Rogers stepped down as White House social secretary, blogger Monica Mingo of Montgomery County, Md., started an online support group to mark the departure of a woman she regards as smart, elegant, accomplished and more.

Within minutes of Rogers' "astonishing" resignation Friday, Mingo and a friend created a Facebook group, "Toast to Ms. Desiree Rogers, White House Social Secretary."

Smith and Sheila Bridges as exceptions. Click "here":http://www.chicagotribune.com/features/ct-talk-desiree-rogers-facebook-0304-2-20100303,0,4177954.story to read the rest of this story.
