Absorbent and Yellow and Porous Is He
If, like me, you believed America's homophobia had reached its nadir when Reverend Falwell berated the Teletubbies for carrying purses, take a deep breath, dear reader.
Now comes Rev. Dr. James C Dobson, founder of Focus On The Family, accusing Sponge-Bob SquarePants of proselyting for the Gays. Seems that Mr SquarePants frequently holds hands with his animated sidekick, Patrick. Rev Dobson asserts that Mr Pants has been enlisted in a "pro-homosexual video." Quoth the maven, "We see the video as an insidious means . . . manipulating and potentially brainwashing kids. It's a classic bait-and-switch." Loved the picture in Tuesday's paper of your President Bush holding hands with Rev Dobson, deep in prayer.
And another thing: I thought the War On Terror was more important than any other task facing the Administration? No, no, not so important as discriminating against gays. The Pentagon has been whining non-stop about the lack of Arabic translators. Less than 20% of the State Department's 279 translators are fluent. Lots of intercepted messages going untranslated 'cause they ain't gots the qualified peeps to do it. So what is the least logical thing possible at this juncture? Fire twenty of them because they were found to be gay.
America, alas.

Once again, let me just say that more americans need to travel to india. If not for the aloo gobhi, for the fact that adult heterosexual men DO, sometimes, hold hands. Walking down the street. In the middle of the day. In plain sight.
And it doesn't appear to lessen one's masculinity, amazingly. It's just a showing of affection. Crazy people over here, I tell ya.
