Comment on Posthumous conversion by Marsha

Once again, I’m sitting here trout-mouthed! While I hope to move through the stages from being incredibly offended (and also feeling very disrespected by the few Mormons who have undertaken this posthumous conversion debacle) to the more detached amusement described by Dan, i am not yet there. Can’t wait to see who the Mormons will claim next? perhaps all the American Indians they tried to convert, and abused, in their boarding schools ? Yikes! Clearly, I need to watch Colbert’s take on this and get a little comic relief. sigh

I totally agree about our shared grandparents. And I’m definitely adopting your Maker’s Mark parade-watching sacrament into my religion.

I think the set of grandparents that you and I share would be HIGHLY amused to know that the Mormon church has now claimed them. Amusement is the best possible reaction to this stuff. What is particularly funny is that the great religious leaders of all time had these simple, common sense ideas that are impossible to disagree with: treat everyone nicely. Be a good person. Think about stuff (that’s us Jews). Slow down and stop thinking so much (Buddha). Even the Mormons idea is pretty good (Let’s go somewhere nobody else wants to be [have you ever seen the Great Salt Lake???] and do our own thing, and do it in our own spiritual undies). And now in the name of religion everybody is going nuts on everybody else. I recommend sitting back, pouring a shot or two of Maker’s Mark, and enjoying the parade.

This is why I love you. Once again, thank you for putting your thoughts into such excellent words. Little by little you and Tim and friends are boggling the stupid minds of folks. Thank you.

@ AJ – I hope not, because we seem to share the same twisted sense of humor!

@ Marsha – Amen backatcha!

Can you get an “Amen?”
Yes, m’am!
I say, “Amen, Sister!”
And the looks……
Sometimes I just shake my head (literally or in my mind), and other times I just want to smack some people.
Mostly, though, I just smile, knowing that like you I got the brass ring on the merry-go-round of life!

This completely and totally brightened up my day. Does that mean there’s something wrong with me?

Part 2? “More Shit…?” “Piling On?” “Regularity?”

Comment on Lactation: I don’t think that word means what you think it means. by ramblingalongwithnora

Thank God that this also holds true for men! It’s only fair.

Absolutely do not Google this issue. Apparently there have been NO cases where discrimination against breast feeding has been found to be sex discrimination. This is not one ignorant decision, but apparently the legal brain trust of our country has determined that since lactating women can’t prove they are treated differently from the subclass of “lactating men,” they can’t prove discrimination based on sex.

Oh, there is no such possible subclass? Well, then you fail to meet the McDonnell-Douglas test for evidence of discriminatory intent and you are fired.

Arrrrrrrgh.
