That is great news. Yay medical science! Two for two on grandbarbies!

Congratulations and best wishes to mom, dad, and Mina. (And you, of course).

Frank?

Sounds good to me. A couple of Libtards swilling beers on a roof top overlooking the Twin Cities on a hot summer day is my idea of a good time as long as you're not a psycho killer or a knee jerk republican. Got a time in mind?

I have read the Bible (King James Version for preference; not the most accurate translation, but for stately, poetic, magnificently sonorous language, never equalled). It doesn't give heteros much more slack than gays. If a girl isn't virgin on her wedding night, she must be put to death, and if she's the daughter of a priest, not just killed, but burned. As ancient literature, I'm for it. Among other things, it reminds us that we cannot ever afford to take civilization or enlightenment for granted and will have to go on fighting for it as long as the human race survives. As a source for our laws in this day and age? Unfit and disqualified; forget it.As an influence of any kind on science education? History education too? Unfit and disqualified. Forget it.(No, Virginia, King Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon did not have a huge golden image made and command all his subjects to worship it on pain of death. No, Harry, a flood that covered the entire earth even to the highest mountain tops and then dispersed inside a year is not physically possible. Yes, Ruth, it is a puzzle how the kangaroos and wombats made their way to Australia again from the Middle East after the water went down. Sorry, kids, no time for more questions, the religious police are coming down the hall for me.)

Or as Joe Heller put it in Catch-22, "Nately's old man was a farmer, and he believed that Federal Aid to anybody except farmers was creeping socialism."

Then there was the disciple, the one whom Jesus loved.

TY. If Jesus had lived, he'd probably have started hitting the early bird \"last supper\" special at the Roamin' Buffet every afternoon. Eventually he'd have needed a Rascal to get around. He'd roll on water to give a sermon then go home to turn wine into the body of Christ.

From the linked article: "At Least Three to Five NOM Supporters Picket General Mills" ... I guess NOM was so overwhelmed by the support they received, they could no longer count. But, hey, Jeebus sez to kill teh gehz, so what the heck ...

My wife and I went to the Pride parade and festival in downtown Minneapolis last weekend. It was a huge turnout. I’ve got a good feeling that these idiots are minority and our state will vote down the Defense of Marriage Amendment this fall.

Crazy people have way too much time on their hands. And volunteering in soup kitchens or Habitat for Humanity just doesn't please the Lord like hating on teh gayz.

Meh. You see how much these people eat? The less vocal bigots will just go on hating the food company with every delicious marshmallowy bite.

Technically they are "Froot Loops" because of having no actual fruit. Kinda the opposite of the GO-Pee party which has actual fruit in it. (Note to GO-Pee'ers: I'm using slang "fruit" to mean non-heterosexuals.)

Jesus: never married (DaVinci Code not-withstanding), thin, neat. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
