Well, one nutter is nothing to get worked up about, but I wonder if the paper would run the letter if Atheist was replaced by Jew, or Muslin, or some other religious identitiy. Maybe they would, but I'd be curious.
I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

That sounds like some of the callers to the Speak Out section of my parents' local paper -- you don't even have to write a letter to the editor anymore!
It's Sound Off! in my parents' paper. They had it even when I still lived there. Now I read it when I feel the need to laugh at local politics or at the stupid people.

Please tell me they were carrying some kind of pastry in their hands!
Sadly, I cannot. They were only carrying their coats. A trio of "oh, crap!" expressions made up for the lack of pastry.
So, to all the atheists in America: Get off of our country.
Gosh. I think we need our own Declaration of Independence from absolute Tyranny.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
That sounds like some of the callers to the Speak Out section of my parents' local paper -- you don't even have to write a letter to the editor anymore! You can just call and share your thoughts, which then get printed in the paper. It's highly amusing much of the time, I tell you what. Clearly there are like four cranky old guys who call in several times each week.
Ours was Tell the Times. They actually got rid of it about a year or so ago. I think it was because they knew it made the town look stupid.
I wouldn't get worked up about one crazy either. But, the thing is, a lot of people don't consider that attitude so crazy. Hell, an ex-president said we weren't Americans.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Every time I go home, they have a new one posted on the fridge, because they're hilarious.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I have a 130lb rottie laying at my feet.
I love him and want to take him home.

There are ongoing fights that occur in Sound Off. It's like a slow-motion flamewar. Without curses. Hilarious.

Am I imagining things or am I seeing Gina Torres in those ads for that show about the "accidental" private eye?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I just took a smoke break and walked around the block. First I was entertained by a skinny hipster boy wearing pink girl jeans, and then I was nearly run over by three cops coming out of the Corner Bakery and charging toward the Daley Center.
I think we're on the same block.
Get off of our country.
This always makes me want to invoke my indigenous ancestry. Who's country, now?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I had no idea that Britan had such a big cheap Samurai sword problem.
I was reading about it recently in the BBC press. It's mostly a problem in Scotland where they have a lot of knife fights and murders by local gangsters. Swords are the next step up. See when you have effective gun control people naturally slide on down to sharp and pointy things.
