Who Said It? Bill S. (and the rest of you ) quickly identified yesterday's Mystery Guest as Meghan "Cocks" Gurdon.  I trust that you all benefited from her message about how the library is brainwashing children into vegetarianism by reading them stories about animals.  And I hope that you emulated Meghan and informed YOUR kiddies that meat is essential to the Battle of Life (I just hope you didn't read the kiddies some of the naughty quips some of you came up with regarding that "Meat and the Battle of Life" item). Anyway, who said this in a recent lecture to Hillsdale College? A woman says to her prospective mate, "Be faithful to me and I promise that I will make it worth your while." It is a bargain men who marry not only agree to but in a very important sense are saved by. Being women, lesbians are most often given to a facsimile of this same deal. Moreover, they can be, and often are, mothers and thus inclined to stability. Men who are sexually attracted to, and even truly love, other men have no such exchange to make. In an all-male society, promiscuity is thus the norm. [...] Why, then, are these men fighting so hard for [same-sex marriage]? The answer is, the right to legal marriage that they are demanding is not about them - it is about the rest of us. It is, and is meant to be, a spit in the eye of the way we live. Hint: her husband is a well-known neoconservative, and her son is a well-known nincompoop. 2:42:06 AM

You'll Shoot Iraq Out! From the Washington Post: When George W. Bush was 16 or so, the frogs in the pond outside his boyhood home in Midland, Tex., weren't the only targets the future president shot at with his trusty BB gun. "He said, 'I'm going to count to 10, and you run all the way down the hall,' " the president's little brother, Neil Bush, recalled at a Utah Republican Party dinner in Provo two years ago, according to the Deseret News. Big brother drawing a bead on the backsides of siblings Neil and Jeb must have left a mark because Neil also told the story to a class of Richmond second-graders. "I was running as fast as I can with my little lightweight summer pj's on, and then '7, 8, 9, 10!' Boom! I felt it on my right [butt] cheek," the Richmond.com news reported his recounting. But those were simpler times. And that little boy of 16 who used his BB gun to practice cruelty to animals and to terrorize his brothers grew up to be ... the President of the United States, the man in charge of our military and weapons of mass destruction.  Now you know the REST of the story. 1:27:04 AM

Why Does The Right Hate the Troops? From the Moonie Times: Calendar girls     The Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute has published what it calls the "first calendar highlighting prominent conservative women leaders."     The 2005 Conservative Women Calendar features, among others, Ann Coulter, Condoleezza Rice, Phyllis Schlafly, Shemane Nugent, Laura Schlessinger, Michelle Malkin and Monica Crowley.     The institute said the calendar will be distributed to college students across the country, and that hundreds will be donated to the USO for distribution to troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.      Yeah, if you want to demoralize our soliders, send them calendars featuring photos of women like Ann, Condi, and Dr. Laura (I'm not sure which photos of Laura would be more depressing: the head shots from her books, or the nude shots from the internet).  However, this photo of Phyllis is kind of hot -- just look at that V-neck! 1:16:35 AM
