OK, I was thinking the "Catholic League" was a somewhat mainstream religious organization (as I'm not familiar with it).
No, Bill Donahue is your standard issue ranting wingnut of the "Jesus hates everyone but me and people exactly like me" variety.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Skippity for the last Buffista Calendar update of the current Jewish year:
So, today is Polter-Cow's birthday (happy birthday!), and also Herah's, whose posts I haven't seen in forever. Tomorrow, the 13th, is billytea's birthday. Friday, the 14th, is Lyra Jane her DH's anniversary. Saturday, the 15th, us Nora Deirdre's birthday, as well as Angus Gordon's (whose posts, too, I hadn't seen in way too long).
Wow, September is a good month for Buffistas. Lots of early wishes for everybody!
And, of course, shana tova, and a good-rest-of-the-week, and, oh, look at the time, I have to log off.

The problem is that Donohoe keeps on getting legitimized by being a common Catholic pundit/representative when it comes to Catholic issues being discussed (on Fox Noise, in particular). He's responsible for getting one of my favorite bloggers (Melissa McEwan, aka Shakespeare's Sister) booted off of Edwards' campaign staff, so I already hate him.

No, Bill Donahue is your standard issue ranting wingnut of the "Jesus hates everyone but me and people exactly like me" variety.
And yet, he somehow is given a lot of credibility by mainsteam news orgs and certain political parties I could name. So really, he's a rather more dangerous ranting wingnut than the usual.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Shana tova, Nilly!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Bob and I were just talking about this last night. He's like Fred Phelps in that he makes the news not because he's newsworthy, or represents something, but because he's salacious. He creates a story, like this one. And what possible reason would he have to stop? Should any one of you want to become famous, create a nonprofit and start getting offended.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Thanks for the Happies, guys!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY POLTER!!!!
