If I could give this post the commenter equivalent of a "Commie," then I would. Just thinking out loud here: Since "Commies" are doled out by the editors to the commenters, then "Eddies" should be bestowed upon the editors by the commenters, right?

Therefore, an Eddie to Pareene, for his Post, "Finally, Good Layoffs."

How do you post pictures on this bitch?

Man, that logo thingy just creeps me the fuck out. It makes me feel like I could catch polio today and there'd be no penecillin because it wasn't invented yet.

I'd also like to know how these layoffs were carried out? Was it done in true Biblical fashion? Were the 4 Horseman of the Apocalypse called in to make the cuts?

Is that really their logo?

A) They probably shouldn't have picked the chicken-fried hootenanny chain restaurant font.

B) Maybe depict a family in that inset, rather than a child molester about to snatch a little boy from the playground. I realize it coincides with your general message about how geighs are after the kiddies, but it feels like I'm about to sit down at Bob Evans and order the Rohypnol breakfast with a shallow grave on the side.

Pareene, are those abortions-on-demand or just regular ones?

I can only imagine the witch hunt going on for the secret gay. After all, God would only smite them if they were employing Abominations. Either that, or God Hates Your 2008 Operating Plan.

@ADismalScience:

There isn't a "secret gay;" there are "secret gays." Since FOF arrived, Colorado Springs has become the capital of the self-hating probable homosexual, hoping to be saved from sinning by Jesus.
Check out the pastor photos on some of the local evangelical megachurches' websites -- looks like a bunch of boy band rejects.

@harshmellow: It is the same type used for celebrity biographies in the 1970s. The one by Lulu Roman from Hee Haw comes to mind.

Yes, I am a font nerd.

Do we know the departments these folks were in, and their job titles? Did they just cut customer service reps, or were there department wide cuts in the Anti-Blasphemy Department, or the Regional Office of Abortion Clinic Bombing? What about the VP of Literal Biblical Interpretations, did he go unscathed, or was he sarcrificed at the altar of Abraham?

@overunderover: Whatever your feelings about them, they are not in any way in favor of bombing clincs. I hate that cliche.

Now I pre-emptively offer you a lemon square.

@Iceland_Spar: Lemon Square taken. However, the proof is in the pudding (keeping this on a desert theme). When FOTF issues an immediate, stern press release condemning such senseless, cowardly acts (like a bombing), I'll believe it.

@Iceland_Spar: Agreed, but they are firmly in bed with Operation Rescue and as a former clinic escort I assure you the don't condone bombing. They prefer shouting at clinic patients, calling them names, shoving pictures of aborted fetuses in their faces and writing down their license plate numbers to perhaps call later and harass them to bombing. They are far too busy working others into a bombing frenzy. Where would they find the time?
