It seems that the only people in America (and many other PC influenced countries) that can be freely made fun of are Christians, conservatives, priests, and southerners. Anyone else is off limits. Laura Ingram was making the point the other day that fathers seem to be a buffoonish character in most American sitcoms now-a-days. Try to portray a lesbian in a bufoonish role and all Hell would break loose!
PS. Snopes is great! Whenever I get some e-mail that looks unbelievable! or to good to be true! an outrage! I always select a portion and either take it to Snopes or Google it. It's almost always bogus.
Lastly, I'm in Richmond on my way north for a meeting with one of the units that works off-site from Lejeune. I'm cruisin' down the road with an air card and posting on the website. Isn't technology great!
