can I get an AMEN?  Preach it, mah brotha!

Speaking of organized religion, walking past a card store this morning, they actually had a display saying that October is "Clergy Appreciation Month".  Can our resident Son-of-a-Preacher-Man confirm whether his dad has ever gotten a greeting card on this occasion?

Kee-fucking-rist.  Hallmark's profit margins must not be up to snuff.  I'd be more inclined to send sympathy cards.

But will Hallmark put out a line of same-sex wedding/union cards?  Fuck no.  This IS America, sha-la-la-luh-laah.

Not unless there's a change in the presidency and at least one of the houses.  Otherwise, you and I can look forward to spending our declining years in re-education camps.  Or concentration camps, not that you or I could tell the difference.

OK I was with you, but  that's just bordering on Self-Pity Porn.  Stop it.

if they can make a buck...

All they have to do is make up some suitably ambiguous card, that same sex couples could construe, and there you go, Bob's your Uncle!

i'm wondering why he would even want hallmark to do such a thing. i don't need falwell dancing with boy george on the gay pride float. i just need him to stop standing in front of the damn thing.
