God hates evolution AND fags!
My blogfather Jeff has just torn the commissioners of Rhea county, Tennessee a much-needed new one! (The eight commissioners voted unanimously to ask the state legislature to amend state law so the county can charge homosexuals with crimes "against nature", and also seek to prohibit homosexuals from living in the county.) Noting that this blessed place was the site of the famous Scopes "Monkey Trial" (of a teacher tried for another crime against nature -- teaching evolution), Jeff appeals to their evolutionary spirit: Although fire and the wheel haven't yet reached this paleolithic area of the country, I would hope that the unicellular inhabitants would realize that short of actually committing a crime, they can't actually prohibit a category of folks from moving, relocating, or living in their stagnant pond.Jeff has warmed the cockles of my heart. The county fathers have probably not read much about Bonobo chimps, but I want to offer them a present -- a shining light -- in the hope that they'll evolve towards the simian level.  Why not have another Monkey Trial in Dayton? Here's what H.L. Mencken said there during the Scopes Trial: It serves notice on the country that Neanderthal man is organizing in these forlorn backwaters of the land, led by a fanatic, rid of sense and devoid of conscience.That's about as true today as it was in 1925. But even though I speak only as a Large Mammal, I think Mencken might have been a little generous with his "Neanderthal" characterization.... ATTENTION READERS: My blogfather Jeff could really use some funds right now, and as you know I do not have a tip jar. If you have enjoyed reading anything here I would greatly appreciate it if you could consider sending a little money Jeff's way. In fact, I'll make it easier for you than going to Jeff's blog and finding his kitties. Just click on the link which follows: posted by Eric on 03.17.04 at 09:01 PM |

The mask slipped for a minute.
"Compassion" "Hate the sin, love the sinner" "We don't hate homosexuals. What makes you think we hate homosexuals?" "We're not bigots! How dare you call us bigots!"
They, uh, just "got carried away", says Jonah Goldberg* in "The Corner". Nothing to see here, folks. But a mayor in San Francisco marrying homosexual couples calls for a Constitutional amendment to ban homosexual marriage everywhere, says our President.
*a Jew! Andrew Sullivan asked how Goldberg would feel if some county passed a similar ordinance against Jews.
