I always get a chuckle out of stories like this. The reason is two-fold – First, it’s a troofer-esque “I am repulsed but yet I cannot look away” funny story. It’s like the scabbone prophet in the trench coat on the street corner screaming about the end of the world. They’re what make life interesting. Second, it’s fun to watch the more libertine chuckleheads use one lone nut to paint all conservatives as homophobic:
A widely distributed e-mail written by Delgaudio for the Public Advocate about TSA, claims the pat downs are part of a “Homosexual Agenda.” And he criticizes TSA’s non-discrimination hiring policy.
“It’s the federal employee’s version of the Gay Bill of Special Rights… That means the next TSA official that gives you an ‘enhanced pat down’ could be a practicing homosexual secretly getting pleasure from your submission,” Delgaudio wrote.

#65 Tedtam, it sounds like you’re referring to Christ Church Cathedral, an Episcopal church downtown that has had a good partnership with Treebeards since the ’80s. In the days when I used to get a few consulting gigs downtown, I would treat clients to lunch at the Cloister (aka: parish hall.) The kitchen facilities there are awesome and spacious. Their… Read more »
Awesome pictures.
Coming in late from a wake. Looking over the comments. I’m too wissin’ tired to get all up in the homosexual debate, although I will admit Bob is a master and self-imposed incomprehension of relatively simple concepts. Your discussion of lunchtimes reminded me of one lunch I took with my programming team, back in my corporate life. The Cloister belongs… Read more »
The scariest thing I’ve heard about ditching don’t-ask-don’t-tell is that big survey of current military showed that as many as 1/3 of the Marines may leave the service if this happens. And their boss has already told them to get lost. Military members who have a problem with a change in policy to allow gays to serve openly may find… Read more »
Late to the party today. Have been trying to do as much household stuff and Christmas decorating as 1.5 hands will allow. Will have to go back to the orthopedic clinic tomorrow to have the splint and bandage changed. It has slipped some owing to it is large at the elbow and doesn’t fit under normal size sleeves so putting… Read more »
WB, I appreciate your answer. Thanks. Good night y’all. I’m gonna get back to the Rhodes repairs. I may have found a fix for some of the dozen or so “wiggly” tines that have excessive horizontal vibration. The deviation from vertical oscillation causes intonation issues. If the fix works, it will save me quite a few bucks on replacement parts… Read more »

Thanks for the link to Coulter’s piece on Wikiboy being gay. The scariest thing I’ve heard about ditching don’t-ask-don’t-tell is that big survey of current military showed that as many as 1/3 of the Marines may leave the service if this happens.
#56, Simple,
1 through 5 have been around since fermentation/distillation and marriage began. Not that there has always been a connection between them.
Look up Ted Trimpa and Tim Gill to see how gays are influencing politics towards their progressive agenda.
#26 Pyro Glad to see you commented on the arsenic organisms. This is an astonishing story. These things use arsenic instead of phosphorus to construct their DNA and ADP molecules — although I guess their energy compound will be called ADA with no phosphate in it. Something mentioned in this story that I did not know is that the reason… Read more »
It’s all a part of a larger libertine philosophy that all belief systems are on an equal plane, that no one system is any better than another. We’ve been drifting in that direction for a long time. 30 years ago could you have imagined that we would be having a debate as inane as this? As our story goes, Moore… Read more »
Simple, I didn’t contend that they were more or less contributory than any of the reasons you listed. I will say that that movement has infiltrated the public schools, the text books, adoption, etc. in a blatant effort to succeed in indoctrinating a generation into championing homosexuality. Homie don’t play that. In addition to the things you listed, the progressives… Read more »
52 Larry, There are a lot of reasons for the disintegration of the nuclear family, but I am perplexed as to how Homosexuals are more effective in the breakdown than say; 1. Drug and Alcohol abuse 2. Infidelity of the heterosexual sort 3. Money 4. Selfishness 5. Children being born out of wedlock (really interested to see how you pin… Read more »
Sad but true. We moderns have managed to combine an incredible mastery of technical knowledge and information with an astonishing ignorance of the traditional wisdom once possessed by an illiterate village elder, and evident for all to see on every page of history. Spend more than you earn and you’ll go broke. Give someone something for nothing, and he’ll soon… Read more »

It’s ok as long as it’s those brown people. It’s their culture dontchano.
My wife and I were talking about mooslim shariah law coming to America and how every woman in America should be screaming at the top of her lungs against it. Where are the National Association of Gals on this threat that could take women back to Cro-Magnon times. I guess treating women like common heathens, abusing them and killing them… Read more »
I’m always amazed that approximately 1% of the population has been able to marshall and engage the other 99% into the gay marriage issue. Talk about disproportion. It’s just another group(gay activists) aligned with the total dismantling of America, its bedrock two-parent, heterosexual nuclear family and its binding social fabric – every bit as dangerous to the well-being and future… Read more »

I imagine it’s something like The Pelosi saying that abortion is acceptable in her view of the faith. Il Papa disabused her of that notion on her visit to The Vatican. She was visibly shaken and chastened as she left that meeting as I recall.
Does Catholic doctrine support separation of church and state, as some interpretations of Matt 22:21 suggest, or does it favor a merge of civil and religious authoritah? The Church and the State are different and separate entities. Are individual Catholics not free to hold an interpretation of Scripture that may not be exactly the same as the official interpretations? No,… Read more »
Wagonburner – Have you seen anything where he elaborated on how “his faith prompted him to support the bill”? I’d love to hear that mental machination. I guess it would be a similar process to that group of vampires characterizing abortion as an “act of love”.
#45 bob Try to keep up. He didn’t create a scandal. He committed the sin of scandal. What I take away from this conversation is that the basis for your opposition to government recognition of civil unions is predominately based on your chosen faith Actually, it’s fully based on my chosen faith, which informs my moral judgement that same-sex “marriage”… Read more »
Not this day, bobby. Yer gonna hafta find someone else.
#44 Hamous, “completely unrelated?” Give me a break. Does Catholic doctrine support separation of church and state, as some interpretations of Matt 22:21 suggest, or does it favor a merge of civil and religious authoritah? Are individual Catholics not free to hold an interpretation of Scripture that may not be exactly the same as the official interpretations? Seriously dude, I’m… Read more »
#43 Well, if it is the opinion of your club that the dude created a “scandal” it’s totally cool by me to kick his butt right out of it. Are you trying to be dense and obtuse? Not at all. What I take away from this conversation is that the basis for your opposition to government recognition of civil unions… Read more »
#41 bob Are you trying to be dense and obtuse? ¿Cuando no? He frequently starts an argument on a completely unrelated subject to your original point. That would be fine, a lot of people misunderstand others’ points, but he continues to argue the wrong point even after you’ve attempted to clarify. The only thing I can come up with is… Read more »
#41 bob Are you trying to be dense and obtuse? I’ll type slower so you can keep up better. The Governor in Illinois should not be telling the world that his faith (ostensibly Roman Catholicism) compels him to work toward legalizing same-sex “marriage”, when it has always been the doctrine of the Church that marriage is a bond between one… Read more »

And the obligatory Chuck Norris Facts page
#37 WB, how in the world does recognizing civil unions in Illinois “undermine” Catholic dogma? (Seriously, I’m curious.) My point was that he, like many many other Catholic politicians not only fail to follow the doctrines of the faith they espouse, but actively work to undermine them. Does your chosen faith require public servants such as politicians that make decisions… Read more »
#36 Hamous, this is nonsensical, irrational, and unsubstantiated by any facts whatsoever. But at least you’re consistent. And btw, it’s not necessary to capitalize “Godless.” The godless are usually not easily offended. 😉 I love it when the Godless start quoting scriptures. It’s like getting parenting advice from Ma Barker. Whether you accept the fact or not, non-believers do indeed… Read more »
#32. Sounds just like our lunch group. We go thru the same ordeal every day.
Hubble Space Telescope Advent calendar
is Illinois a Catholic state? No. Never even hinted that it was. The people of Illinois elected a governor, not a cleric. Exactly. He should therefore keep his mouth shut about whatever he thinks Catholic doctrine is, especially when it is patently false, and stop committing the sin of scandal. My point was not that the governor is or is… Read more »
I love it when the Godless start quoting scriptures. It’s like getting parenting advice from Ma Barker.
…and this one, too.
Well, he DOES have a point!
#25 WB, is Illinois a Catholic state? “Catholic” politicians should really learn about their so-called faith before they try to say what it compels them to support. I do try hard to respect everyone’s faith held beliefs, despite the many irreconcilable differences on what is professed as absolute truth and insistent exclusivity among them. The people of Illinois elected a… Read more »
#23. Hamo-erectous, I wished you would have given me a heads up. Any fights there today? The way it works with my lunch buddies is we get in the truck, stop at the gate leaving our facility, and the driver asks “Where do you want to eat today?”. We go through our normal five or six restaurants until we hit… Read more »

Oooohhh… you have chickens too? Nobody said nuttin’ ’bout no chickens before.
#26. How is this going to fulfill NASA’s mission to improve our relationships with mooslims and to teach us all about the great contributions mooslims have made to civilization?
Is there a lakefront mosque on Mono Lake? Is this research led by mooslims?
Inquiring minds would like to know.
#23. Hamo-erectous, I wished you would have given me a heads up. Any fights there today?
#27. Dud, first and last month’s rent and security deposit in advance and it’s bacon and eggs for breakfast for you as far as I’m concerned.
Not even if I leave a deposit? And I promise to take really good care of the pig?
This is HUGE. NASA announced the discovery of alien life today. While not necessarily alien in geographic origin, it is certainly alien in composition. A new species of bacteria was discovered in Mono Lake in California. What is different about it is that its DNA contains no phosphorus. This bacteria’s (can it really be bacteria if its chemistry is that… Read more »
“Catholic” politicians should really learn about their so-called faith before they try to say what it compels them to support. Illinois’ legislature passed a bill on Dec. 1 that will establish same-sex civil unions in state law. While the state’s Catholic governor Pat Quinn said his faith prompted him to support the bill, his bishop has warned that the governor’s… Read more »

Sister seems much more confident of the worker helping them now. She said the last one was a waste of time. I’ll pass your info along.
#17 Tedtam, my lil sister is a social worker that often deals with difficult issues related to elderly care. She speaks highly of Adult Protective Services, a state agency, in regard to them being a valuable source of information for families.
AMNESTY ALERT! Congratulations again.
