1. fungus just isn't ever going to "get it" about gays. their latest

the article referred to fungus as a christian ministry group, actually, they are nothing more than a virulently hateful political strongarm group.

4. it amused the hell out of me last year when phrooty phred phelps and

his band of sickos picketed fungus because they weren't hard enough on gays. called dobby to tell him so, adding that I loved seeing this, as it pointed out that the only difference between him and phelps was a matter of degree, not kind, in that dobby dresses better and has more political clout.
