“lavender flu” Heh, I love it.

I like to think a re-vote after KO’s impassioned commentary last night would yield a different result.

I will be impressed when the complete list of McCain-Paling voters gets the same kind of scrutiny as the anti-homosexual crowd does. That is a day to dream of.

We are giving trillions to crooks on Wall Street to help hide their past crimes with yet no hint of prosecuting those criminals, while the government is still busy busting pot smokers. Free the weed.

Enjoy.

Seems to be a lot of action on this issue at the moment- too bad it didn’t happen BEFORE the election…

There will certainly be another and opposite ballot proposition in an upcoming election–time to get the ball rolling on that.

shouldn’t that be plural? then you could have a plurality.

loose cannon. why do you ask?

As an aside, always be sure the tequila in your margarita is 100% Blue Agave, kids… most well brand tequila is at least partially grain alcohol, some mostly…

And don’t have them at El Coyote…

should a Mormon be serving likker, anyway?

100% agave is nice- but expensive as hell. $50 or so a jug as opposed to $20 or so for standard tequila….I’m way too “thrifty” for that stuff

Wow, hadn’t thought of El Coyote in 30 years. Great place for fun. Great Margaritas. Never liked the food.

In 1971 my family visited Salt Lake City and the restaurants served alcohol but prohibited smoking, which at that time was unheard of in the rest of the country. When I was a little kid, my pediatrician actually smoked during office visits.

Ah- cigarettes–makes me kind of nostalgic! Loved those things!

Palin on Palin- see if you can spot the pattern:

On NAFTA, she said, “I remember that discussion, but there was never a question about, well, who are the participants in NAFTA? So for my discussion there to be spun into something that it was not and then being broadcast on national television, again, based on anonymous sources, that’s been another puzzling thing to me.”

On Africa, “So we discussed what was going on in Africa. And never, ever did I talk about, well, gee, is it a country or is it a continent. I just don’t know about this issue. So I don’t know how they took our one discussion on Africa and turned that into what they turned it into,” said Palin.

CNN.com is reporting that holocaust survivors are telling – not asking, but telling – the LDS to stop performing ordinances for Holocaust victims, and to remove all of those names from their records.

What got me was this:

“We don’t think any faith group has the right to ask another to change its doctrines,” Wickman said. “If our work for the dead is properly understood … it should not be a source of friction to anyone. It’s merely a freewill offering.”

So why do they try so hard to force their views of marriage on others?

(As far as proxy ordinances for the dead – I’ve been told that the dead can opt out. Which to me means that their survivors and descendants can, as proxies for them, tell the LDS where to go.)

I’ll eat the $30 to save myself the hangover (and embarrassing behavior) from drinking grain alcohol…

I just find that many people I’ve known who say they “can’t drink tequila” have never in fact drank tequila…

Using the list maybe all those who have businesses should be boycotted! Why stop at one! And the “lavender flu” sounds great! I would take part but I don’t have a job to stay home from!!

I have to question the sanity of anyone who would start a sentence with “If our work for the dead is properly understood…”.

Hey ThatSinger!!

Still in ‘good voice’ singin’ for the peeps?

Glad to see ya.

God save us from religion and those who promote it.

Fill out lots of job applications and when they ask you why you want to work there tell them, “I want to be able to take a day off from work for Day Without Gay Day.” *g*

Anybody seen wobblybits in the last few days?

If there were such a day, imagine all of the really sick conservative christians coming to work so as not to appear in any way to be gay, thus risking the health of everyone at their company.

Gee why didn’t I think of that(:>))

Speaking “theologically,” although I don’t think Mormons really like theological scrutiny because under traditional Christian definitions of the faith they are either heretics, or non-Christians, or both, a Mormon selling alcohol is somewhat like the drug dealer who is straight.

Jane’s new post is up: “Uh, Sarah….You Sure You Want To Go There?”

Here in Ventura, CA – the only local large health-food/organics store, Lassen’s Ventura gave $25,000!!!!!

Where do I get my turkey and organic oatmeal NOW?

Funny that you say this. With the population as a whole moving away from organized (Christian) religion, we are seeing a couple things:

1) The creation of other entities to replace religion (ie. environmentalism, animal rights, etc).
2) The increased decay of modern civilization, and I might add not just our civilization, but Western civilization.

People need a reason to live. It is hard for anyone to look at themselves in mirror and realize “this is it, this is as good as it gets?”. That is why these other things are spawning. Most religions teach that there is something in life that is bigger than them. When you don’t have this, you tend to see things like people giving up on life, high drug use, general unhappiness even if everything is going well.

How this ties into marriage? When a man and woman marry under the Christian tradition, it is for the explicit reason to procreate and continue the faith. When this happens. Other things are implemented as well like hard work, respect of your community, etc. This in turn leads to an overall healthy, productive society with just this single tradition.

Gay marriage obviously trumps this tradition as they cannot procreate outright (need medical assistance), and the overall rejection of Christian religions on the act of homosexuality. If gay marriage is pushed on society by government (ehem…Church and State issues), it will simply water down the meaning of marriage period, which in a sense is probably what a lot of people want done anyway.

My own take: I am all for giving legal rights to gay couples wanting to be married, but don’t call it marriage, civil union is fine. Let everything happen on the government level and don’t cross over into religion. Any Christian religion will not recognize it anyway and it will lead to further corrosion of society as the two sides will be embattled indefinitely.

BTW: Many of you hate the Christians for whatever reason. But if Christianity fails, take a look at what your options are and the big religion that is in the waiting (ie, Islam). Off-hand I would say Christians are more accepting of any way of life that your other option.

Blue Texan is up at the Mothership!
McCain To Campaign For Saxby Chambliss; Will He Have Company?

Mormons serving Mexican food? That alone is a reason to kick ass and take down names!

I eat there all the time. No mas.

Thanks, DMac… yep, still out there…

SLIGHTLY OT: but SWOON ALERT!

If this is as good as it gets, then dam, keep it coming.

Enjoy.

Fabio called someone a diva?

That’s rich. But not so rich that I can’t believe it’s not butter.

Yup

Exactly.

Lisa,
I hate my self for knowing this but the Clooney/Fabio thang happened at Madeo not El Coyote.
