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.
I got the meatball one, but I still don't really understand it.
How can this legally get federal money. Does it sneak in as a health issue?
The Department of Health and Human Services under Bush has financed the Healthy Marriage Initiative.
It was included in an omnibus bill in 2005 and given $100 MILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY "to encourage marriage and promote the well-being of children."
I got spammed on a local moms' message board about attending healthy marriage workshops put on my a local group, thinkmarriage.org. I had to smack them down by telling them I wasn't in their priority group--if I wanted marriage counseling, I could afford it myself. They were intent on filling up seats in the workshop, though, to justify their existence.
Oh, and they used their tax-payer funding to put up billboards with pro-marriage messages.

If I was in charge of this, I'd make a bunch of LOLCats billboards to promote marriage. Like a picture of a dog and cat snuggling, with a caption: "Marriage: Ur doing it wrong!"

I got all but the meatball one.
None of them were funny, though.

I was behind a minivan the other day with a bumper sticker that said "Chastity is for LOVERS!" I still can't figure that one out.
Maybe Chastity is a bisexual escort?
Teppy, love waits.
Everyone knows that. Again, it has nothing to do with religion.

Maybe it is satire. The problem is that it's hard to spot actually satire because of all the crazy out there.
Happy Birthday, aurelia!

That's Poe's Law.
