Because books.

That was my fault. I'm sorry!

Our wings are not tired.

I would strongly suggest that the unspoiled Good Wife people not watch late night television shows either.

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

This is kind of funny: Box Turtle Bulletin » When we act the way we wish they would

Bill Donahue, the leader of the Catholic League was one of the most strident (and absurd) voices calling for the exclusion of gay people from the Saint Patrick’s Parades in New York and Boston. And firmly convinced in the accuracy of his own narrative that gay people hate straights and poeple of faith and are “the real bigots”, Donahue set out to prove his point.

He filed a petition with the organizers of the New York Gay Pride Parade requesting that he be allowed to march under a “Straight is Great” banner. He was sure that this was a message that gay people would find offensive. And, being a hate-filled asshat, he assumed that gay people would act with the same animus and exclusion towards him that is Donahue’s standard action towards us.

But, of course, we don’t hate straight people. And we agree, straight actually is great – just like gay and bisexual. And, thought Donahue probably didn’t know it, many many straight people – Catholics, even – happily march in the parade each year to show their support for the community. Heck, some Catholic churches even have delegations.

So the organizers immediately said yes. Sarah Kate Ellis, the head of GLAAD and a fellow Irish New-Yorker, said she’d be happy to march with him.

The irony is, of course, that the last thing Donohue wants to do is march in a gay pride parade. And now, having been greeted with graciousness, he’s looking for a way to weasel out.

Yeah, I heard Donahue was pulling out. He's such a waste of air, and it's embarrassing to have him attempt to represent me (as an Irish Catholic American). He doesn't represent me, but he claims to. Don't be on my side, jerk!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Donohue is such an asshole.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Just in case you all needed another reason to think less of my co-workers. They are doing the 7-day Cabbage Soup diet as a contest for weight loss and seriously trying to convince me it is healthy and endorsed by Hospitals. It's like they have never used the internet.

God, seriously. That is not going to be very pleasant.

msbelle,

I did that diet in high school. Before I knew I had a "sensitivity" to citrus acid.

Gotta love a 2 week rash one's first days in high school.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It's like they have never used the internet.

Or like they've only used the Internet.
