  3. Infidel753 -- The personhood amendment some GOP candidates are promising isn't that far away from it. Scary.

    Knatolee -- It's amazing how successful Savage's prank has become. "Santorum" has now become a widely known sexual euphemism. I'll check out that link.

  4. "Religious Right Likes Prayer In School – Unless It’s By Muslim Students"

    Of course. I've often said the way to squelch the whining about school prayer would be to have a few kids pray to Allah, Satan and/or the goddesses. Next thing you know, *Christians* would be demanding children pray silently.

    Mmmm, I need to go buy some Girl Scout Cookies.

  5. Buffy -- I normally don't buy Girl Scout cookies, but after learning about this transphobic boycott, I made a point of ordering a box from a co-worker. I will enjoy my chocolate mint cookies out of spite toward the haters.
