Anything is better than what these lunatics are spewing from Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas (what IS it with Kansas anyway?)whom I mentioned earlier. They are protesting at funerals for soldiers killed in Iraq, saying that God is punishing them for defending homosexuals in the U.S.

Perhaps I shouldn’t be astonished, but I really was when I looked at the church’s Web site which is (of course) named godhatesfags.com. The Web site had a notice of a planned picket today for the funeral of Army Spc. Darren D. Howe in Beatrice, Neb., who was killed in Iraq by a roadside bomb or IED (Improvised Explosive Device). Here is what our so-called “Christian” friends had to say about it:

“Thank God for IEDs. God Himself has not become America’s terrorist, killing Americans in strange lands.”

These people are just freaking insane. If I still attended the Baptist church as I did in my youth, I would encourage my fellow Baptists to sue the hell out of these people for using the Baptist name. Baptist my ass! Apparently these assholes didn’t get the message about “Love thy neighbor.”

Strange. Very, very, strange.
I wish the Kurds well but like the post from News Hounds said today they could’ve chosen a better slogan.

Something called the Kurdistan Development Corporation has produced various ads that thank the U.S. for their involvement and telling what a swell place it is to be. But their slogan: “Kurdistan — The Other Iraq,” might not be just the ticket for the great number of Americans opposed to the war there. Suggestions?

“Stan’ by me in Kurdistan.”
“Kurdistan — It’s not our fault you’re in Iraq.”
“Before you try the other ‘stans, try Kurdistan.”
“Ya’ll come back to Kurdistan, you heah?”
“Kurdistan — Built Chevy tough.”

Okay, you see why I didn’t get into advertising.

Jesus called. He said shit like this is really starting to piss him off:

“OKLAHOMA CITY – With her 6-year-old son wearing a shirt saying, “God hates homosexuals,” Shirley Phelps-Roper greeted mourners attending a slain soldier’s funeral in Edmond this week with signs predicting the downfall of America.
Ms. Phelps-Roper was one of a handful of members of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kan., at Tuesday’s funeral Army Pfc. David Martin. The church members, who have protested soldiers’ funerals in Oklahoma and elsewhere, say God is punishing U.S. soldiers for defending a country that harbors gays.” –Associated Press

Nuance. I dig wolves.

It feels as if you rule over man and beast. And it is all because you know how to tap the “delete” key. An entire universe is gone. Where did it all go when I hit delete? If we ever teach wolves to use computers, we better watch our asses. Because the next thing you know we’ll see whole flocks of sheep deleted. Those crafty bastard wolves might also just throw in a wolf-hater for good measure.
