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!

In other news, did we know Google now has a ton of nutrition information available? [link]

Donohue is such an asshole.

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.

I have a gas mask you might want to borrow.

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.

It's like they have never used the internet.

Or like they've only used the Internet.

I am bring in food everyday. Not jerkily. Just buying lunch out. Today was a shrimp po boy and a chopped salad with chicken (yes, 2 entrees, cause that is how I do). still only 910 calories.

I killed the thread with my hatred of my co-workers.

I need to workout after work today - I think a wii fit session is in order. maybe a lot of boxing work.
