Geneticists just need to put some Madonna DNA in a cell and the gay gene will come running.

The Religious right should use some of that money to keep their nuns in food and homes.
It's so awesome how the priests that molested children can now be the cause of damage to more people's lives.

Here's an interesting section from the "gay gene" article:

The group's president, Alan Chambers, said he is a former homosexual who went straight and believes homosexuality is morally wrong.

Even if research ultimately shows that genetics play a bigger role, it "will never be something that forces people to behave in a certain way," Chambers said. "We all have the freedom to choose."

So does that mean people are free to choose gayness, asshole?

Grits for lunch? Grits with country ham, some sharp cheddar and cayenne pepper, add hot sauce if you must, darlin'.

Grits for breakfast? Use whole milk or even half and half (don't worry -- you look good, child) top with butter and real maple syrup.

Talk about good, as Aunt Zoo Zoo would say.


I'm making breakfast right NOW!

Slump housing market, slump! Seattle needs some foreclosures to make a little inventory and lower prices back to "Would the last person who leaves Seattle please turn out the lights?" levels.

Here's a good one from this morning (as reported by Salon):

"From this morning's White House press conference:

Reporter: Mr. President, following up on Vladimir Putin for a moment, he said recently that next year, when he has to step down according to the constitution, as the president, he may become prime minister; in effect keeping power and dashing any hopes for a genuine democratic transition there ...

Bush: I've been planning that myself."

Actually, the Washington Post says the big fundraisers for Bush aren't giving much money, if any, this time around.

More than 2/3rds of them are sitting it out.

So don't count on the holier-than-America religious right to make up the difference.

I think I'll stay away from that soba. It looks like earthworms composting.
