Oh, gee...that's just fuckin' great. God has heeded the call of the prayer warriors.

So, umm... which candidates running for public office will work to close that loophole? National/State-wide/County? Those are good, but providence would be Seattle if we could stop that from happening here. So gov't geeks... tell me, tell me, tell me.

WHO? WHO? WHO? I got a vote looking for a canidate...

They'll just have to add it to the lease agreement next time. Good job though Stranger people, illegal or not, it's worth making a stink over, enough so that hopefully in the future school districts can avoid the bad publicity by ammending their lease agreements.

That was the worst two sentences ever, but you know what I mean.

I think a bigger issue than this one is how these groups can engage in this activity and maintain their federal tax exempt status. Given who is power, I guess I'm not super optimistic that anything will actually be done about this. But it seems like it should be.

oh fuck me

Ummm... I think it is nice that groups can have access to schools and public buildings. Thre are many Progressive groups that could never afford to get meeting space anywere else. As long s the facility is available to any group (not just one side) then it seems like a good thing.

As for the fact that it is a church getting the signatures. This is more problematic. However given the high standard for revoking tax emeption, probably not problematic enough.

Personally I think that churches sould jsut pay their fucking taxes regardless.

Earlier today, I wondered about the district's letter, for precisely the reasons outlined in their retraction. When one rents something, a house, a store, or a church for an afternoon, it is "theirs" in the meaning of the law. I can't recall how many political events I have been to in Parks' Department Community Centers (most recent was Jim Street's kickoff) where the rules would be the same as for public schools. I hope folks reflect on the situation a bit; it cuts both ways. Would we really want to not be able to rent public facilities for our political events. I think not.

Oh. Thank. God. Our Lady of Amway doesn't have to find a new place for their bilking, uh, I mean Preaching. Hutch's wife can still get that boob job. His boyfriend will get that Prada after all....

The eternal question can still be asked: Who Would Jesus Hate?

Looks like the LWSD has come its senses. Or at least a level-headed, trained lawyer has come between them and their lame attempt to aid a liberal jihad.

Perhaps some of the political activists who post here will start using their own free speech rights to convince others, instead of trying to use the government to shut down the free speech of their opononents.

I called it.

an easy way to kick him out is have school groups request the space on Sunday, forcing him to leave, since school use is a higher priority.

there's strategy and there's tactics. Strategy is planning to kick someone out - tactics is kicking them out.

Talking about it and not doing it is what we call FAILURE.

Beautiful. GJ!! scores; all you crazed sloggers, wankers, and losers are left with your secretions. Hutch rocks on.

Hey, it's no skin off my ass. I'm not the one stupid enough to pay tithes to this idiot and listen to him wank on about shit. The intermediate joke is on the believers who enable this guy's lifestyle. The ultimate joke will be when they die and find that they're, well, dead. It was all just a sham, and they wasted their life on it.

Religion: A huge cosmic joke.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Doug:"Good Job" Good job about WHAT? The Stranger was WRONG on the facts and apparently, like the district, could not be bothered to look and see what the law actually said before getting their panties in a twist. Gee, what a surprise. Who would ever think the Stranger would get the facts wrong?

I will eagerly be waiting for the Stranger to retract their story or at least print a correction. But I am not holding my breath.....

Hey, I've been waiting for Christians to get their facts straight for 2000 years, but will they print a retraction? Hell No.

I've seen clowns like this "Hutch" a million times: An overgrown bully who thinks he can talk for me. He's full of shit, just like the rest of 'em, and he'll find that out soon enough. Maybe next time I'll send him back as one of those gay seagulls.

Oops, gotta go. Mary Mag wants me to take the kids for a few hours. She's getting together with some of her girlfriends for daquiris and bridge or some shit like that.

But what does anyone here think about when Democrats go into black churches at election time and actively campaign for office? I never hear any complaints from any of the readers of the persuasion that I see here.
