"The correct word is "eke". "Eek" is no doubt what you will be saying on election day."

Heck, I say that whenever I see you manning the table at some TTF event.

But, then, who doesn't.

The correct word is "eke". "Eek" is no doubt what you will be saying on election day.

Emproph: "You mean unlike those of any age, race, religion, color, sex, handicap, national origin, or marital status - who also need a law saying they exist?

How did they respond when you said that to them?"

Sybil: “Well, that list encompasses everyone and, yes, they exist apart from the law.”

So the law itself, exists independently of the law...itself?

Interesting take. I’d give it some more thought, but I just noticed that I'm running low on Q-Tips.

I thought it was obvious that I was simply poking fun at you guys. Didn't think any big offense would be taken, especially since you kids seem pretty happy.

2008-09-10T09:57:00.000-04:00

Oh, leave 'em alone. Let them grieve. I can imagine how it feels to have victory in your grasp and then to discover that the people upon whom you relied and who are responsible to "count the votes" don't know how to count. A comedy of errors.

That, of course, doesn't excuse the lies and fear-mongering of CRG, but, as MaryAnne points out, they put up a good fight. The process worked.

I invite Ruth and Theresa to come in and sit down with me and let's talk science and morality, so we don't have to go through this again on some other issue. We've had our moments -- let's build on them.

Anon, still masked, had you bothered to look you would have noticed that Duchy wasn't in the energy-efficient pedi-cab. But don't let facts get in your way.

And I'm not "threatening" anything, though I can see how a "Christian" such as yourself might imagine such.

Zoe, those costs to be paid by the Board of Elections are pretty minor -- filing fees and all that. They don't, unfortunately, include attorney fees.

2008-09-10T09:41:00.000-04:00

"Anonymous" - You are a mean-spirited, nasty, ignorant, smarmy, egotistical ass! Your comment: "Hey, everybody: check out Dana's picture in the Post this morning. Almost as bad as the ride down the street in a rickshaw with Duchy at the Labor Day parade." merely exposes you for what you are...a hate-filled, low-class. ill-educated (if at all) bigot.
I am going to try to exhibit some of your so-called "Christian charity" by dismissing your remark as that of a sinner who hasn't the foggiest understanding of what your religion teaches: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you".
Take your germ-laden toys with you and go play in somebody else's yard!

Almost as bad as the ride down the street in a rickshaw with Duchy at the Labor Day parade.

Now, Dana's threatening to go statewide.

Maybe that will give TTF something to talk about.

Now onto Gainesville. And Hamtramck. And anywhere else where human rights are under threat.

And you know what? I'm in Australia, and shamelessly interfering in another country's internal affairs, aren't I? Never mind, Americans have been known to do that too....

None have been found guilty? What is it then that you seem to be so worried about this bill then?

2008-09-09T22:47:00.000-04:00

Yes, all employers should be forced to hire boys who want to wear a dress.

That's justice for you!

We're getting there.

But, let's not forget that transgenders also sometimes start a business. And, let's say, they have a right to start a business and a right to have people buy the stuff they make without discriminating.

Shouldn't the government make sure you can't discriminate when you buy things?

That's just justice.

The slow march towards justice inexorably goes on!...

2008-09-09T21:57:00.000-04:00

Yes and, apparently, you don't really feel like you exist unless you have a law saying so.

Here's a question:

Discrimination on the basis of sexual "orientation" has been illegal in MC for a while. (BTW, the same scenario that just played out all happened before when that law was passed. The council passed a law, citizens of MC tried to get a referendum, a lunatic fringe gay group challenged the signatures, a handful of activist judges over-ruled the people of the county). How many times has any employer been found guilty of violating the law against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation?

As I’ve explained before as well -- even with the anti-gender identity referendum -- however it turns out, some of us will retain our souls (or conscience if you’re atheist).

This ain’t over. They’ll never give it up, they can’t.

Their god is pride (supremacy) - their most deeply held and cherished “belief.”

To take away their feelings of superiority, is to take away their religion and god itself.

As I've explained to you previously, dreary, five battleground states are Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Florida and Virginia.

Whoever wins three of the five gets the election.

The latest polls show McCain leading in Ohio, Virginia and Florida. Obama clings to a one point lead in the other two and the Obama campaign is very worried about the trends in Michigan where he has no organization because he skipped the primary there. Anyway, we'll give 'em those two for now.

Go to the electoral map.

That's 274 electoral votes for McCain.

Whatch you gonna do?
