People in the north do not believe me when I tell them that they used to shut down my school (in Georgia) when the weather got below freezing!

Those pipes might burst! And then where’d you be, son? I’ll tell you. Cold and wet with no stopping in sight. That’s where you’d be!

Well, I know that down here in the deep south, we live in terror of the monstrous abomination known as the snowflake. Disguised as a mild-manner six-sided ice crystal of supreme beauty and uniqueness, we southerner know that underneath the glittering surface lies a depth of cruelty unrivalled in nature. The evil snowflake exists only to confine us to our homes, cold and starving, or send us careening off the road to our doom. It exists to inflict frostbite, snow-blindness, and influenza. More destructive than a bullet (if the bullet is just lying around doing nothing), and far far sneakier than the tornado, the snowflake is the greatest menace we southerners face.

Now having experienced Katrina firsthand, I have to say I prefer snowflakes to hurricanes, but here in Georgia, that brands me a heretic. Snowflakes - white frosty satan incarnate.

When is it bad weather why do people get insane???
I have noticed , that anytime it rains, or there is a freeze, the public panics, rushes out to the stores and buy up all the
bottled water, batteries, flash lights, firelogs, and canned food. Why is this. You would think people that have been through
this kinda weather before would understand that it will not last more than a day or two at the most.
Another thing I have noticed is when it rains that all the dumb people again get on the roads and cause wrecks and everything
else.
What is wrong with the people? I would really like to know.

If you think about it… Hatred is a weird state of mind! Why do you care to hate something?
Lack of knowledge is a good start. And then being afraid of the unknown. Or is it.. Replaced envy? Unanswered desires?

I hate philosophy!

(No i don’t, i just hate the fact i don’t get it.. )

(No i don’t.. But I envy people who do get it!)

I love Bas’ coining of Sanctorum. I also laughed out loud at the idea of the picture being a post coming out party.

Research does show that people who make the most homophobic comments are often most aroused by same sex photographs!

Good point about the sweater vest. I think I had one as a kid… but I didn’t buy it, really! I have to be clear on that point. I did NOT buy it. Nevermind that I didn’t buy any of my clothes at the time… and look how I turned out. Not gay at all!

I don’t know about Rick, but I suspect demon-boy might be gay. Its the sweater-vest that gives it away.

I think Mr. Santorum is just living in denial.. He wouldn’t be the first ardent rightwing homophobe to turn out to be gay? Wasn’t there this White House Bush posterboy who went public?

(I think the picture of Mr. Sanctorum will look about the same as above when he does come out!)

I think the mojito of the undead boy and the crying doll carrying girl should have their own television show. It would be like the Addams family, only scary.

I figured Bas meant happy gay, but I would love for Santorum to know that he has been referred to as gay. He would probably try to ban himself.

That photo amazes me — it amazes me that such unabashed emotion was displayed. That is not what you usually see in politico families — but there is much about Santorum you don’t usually see in politico families. The photo also is at the strangest angle. It is as if they were trying to take a picture of the girl, not Santorum. It also off kilter a bit, as if they were about to angle the camera, as if to imply the family were Batman villains from the 60s tv show.

I had such the crush on Burt Ward’s Robin when I was a young ‘un watching that show. I also thought that Batman was an old man! Now, I’m the same age that Adam West was when he was in the show. So of course, he now he looks like a handsome young man to me.

And Che should say nothing about crushes on embarrassing 60s tv stars or I’ll mention a certain Mayberry resident!

Maybe Bas meant happy gay, not queer gay. Though Rick doesn’t look particularly happy either. He just looks sort of prayerful - benevolently fascistic. He wants to shower us all with his benevolent fascism. As long as he doesn’t want to shower us with his ’santorum’. Eeeek.

And R the P is right, the demon boy does look lke he’s trying to mesmerise the audience. He sort of has a Rasputin-esque look about him. Of course, Rasputin was murdered by a cross-dressing Prince and a bunch of the Prince’s queer buddies so one might ponder how far the similarities go.

I prefer the theory that the demon boy has been sipping one too many mojitos of the undead. He’s a big fan of this website. He tries all the recipes.

The wife looks like she forgot to take her valium. She looks as though she’s actually growling. “Grrrrr… Look what you voters have done to my family. My daughters are weeping, my son is addicted to mojitos of the undead, and my husband will be hanging around the house in his underwear all day, watching Touched by an Angel reruns and scratching himself. Damn you… damn you all!”

Some might say its awfully low to make fun of a man’s family. I say, “Yep, thats us”.
