    The car of Lynda Farley, a Kentucky activist who attended the conference. The poisonous effects of smoking, she said, are "a hoax, just like global warming." Dios los cría y ellos se juntan."

    What's funny is that my wife and I were there for the Packers/Rams game, and I didn't even notice an influx of crazies.

    Well, except for the guys in the cheese hats.

    Also, it's kind of disappointing this event didn't feature the most desperately needed seminar of all: how to tell your ass from a hole in the ground.

    I'm pretty sure Huck, while pandering to his base of crazies, just knocked himself out of serious contention for the 2012 nomination by promising to take the US out of the UN.

    That's about as extreme a foreign policy position as you can muster. Way to go, LaDouche.

    I'm not sure what Huckabee was getting at with that 'chipping off a part of New York City' bit. Real 'Mericans don't know anything about the geography of Manhattan.

    "The sheer mechanics of homosexual conduct very naturally elicits revulsion in most rational folk. Therefore, most of us would prefer not to even imagine it, much less struggle to defend against its wholesale promotion. But regrettably, our hand has been forced."

    So now he must regularly imagine the various mechanics of homosexual conduct? Because that is how i read the above, and i have to say, there are worst things to be forced into than imagining how double penetration can occur sans a vagina.

    @Jessestalker: Anyone who needs to spend a lot of time pondering the sheer mechanics of same sex fucking should probably just get it over with a do some same sex fucking. Clearly, these people would rather rely on their hand which, ahem, has been forced.

    The UN wouldn't float in the East River. It would tip over and create a landbridge to Queens. And then Manhattan would really be screwed.

    I can't stand seeing the Schlafly name dragged through the mud like this. Let's be fair and balanced by plugging a different thinking Schlafly's business: [www.schlafly.com]

    In other news, you should have come to StL to see me this weekend, we went apple picking and I played a rare round of golf.

    Ironically, I was in St. Louis this weekend as well (for a wedding). This convention was clearly a non-event there as well. The only other people I saw on the tourist route were either there for the black college football game - and its attendant, awesome parade, or Wisconsinites down for the NFL game. They were easily identifiable by the ubiquitous Green Bay "G" on every item of their clothing.

    But well-dressed families with the wide, vacant eyes or permanent empty smiles that are the hallmarks of religious groups were nowhere to be found...

    Did they get the memo on the First Amendment making sure that Religion was not used as a basis for making law? Also, did they miss the memo on Aritlce 1 Section 8 regarding the Government's power to collect taxes so that they may provide for the "defence and general WELFARE of the United States"? Apparently these people who are so fond of touting the greatness of , and the adherence to, the Constitution sure know how to ignore key facts when they want to in order to forward their 'Me first' agenda. Do they not realize that they severely contradict the ideas of Republicanism when they allow the rights of the many to be trampled over by corporate raiders like health care CEO's. Republicanism dies when you allow life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness to be dictated by those in the minority. John Adams said it best when he was worried by our country being 'addicted to commerce'. "There must be a positive Passion for the public good, the public Interest, Honour, Power, and Glory, established in the Minds of the People, or there can be no Republican Government, nor any real Liberty. And this public Passion must be Superior to all private Passions. Men must be ready, they must pride themselves, and be happy to sacrifice their private Pleasures, Passions, and Interests, nay their private Friendships and dearest connections, when they Stand in Competition with the Rights of society."

    Rant is over.
