“It appears that punctuation and grammar are Not Family Values anymore. (If they ever were.)”

Please refer to your opening paragraph:
“it seems all he has to do to get on TV is show up at the studio and it’s lights, camera, action…” The possessive form of it is its. If we want to be keepers of the language, and criticize (rightfully) the bad punctuation and grammar of the wingnuts, we must make sure our own house is in order.

Actually, this piece is correct as it was written, not as you corrected it. The sentence reads “it seems all he has to do to get on TV is show up at the studio and it is lights, camera, action…”

When in doubt about using an apostrophe, try saying the sentence using the uncontracted form of the word (the one with the apostrophe). If it makes sense as two words, use an apostrophe. If not, don’t.

The trouble with the rightwingnut group is they have no sense of humor. They just don’t get sarcasm, jokes, or wit. Instead they imagine all sorts of evil conspiracies, slurs and slanders and miss the point entirely.

The rightwingnuts couldn’t see past a couple of f-words to discover the sarcasm in the bloggers comments, as they couldn’t see the sarcasm in her comments regarding the holy spirit’s juicy juices, or anything else she said.

The onion dip is yet another example. No matter what your faith, if you take communion – I’m sure everyone has wished at times for something, anything to flavor those awful wafers with!

To all rightwingnuts – LIGHTEN UP!!!

But the glee with which he went after Vanderslice and the glee with which he has gone after these women marks him as an abuser.

I thought Vanderslice was one of the “consultants” trying to help Democrats “get” religion. So what’s Donahue’s problem with her? That she has a vagina and only MEN should be helping Dems become Theocrats Lite?

With enough complaints, the IRS can give this evil slug “Goebbels” Donahue a hard time.

I’m Catholic and if my church continues to support this piece of human garbage, they can forget about any more money from me.

where would we be without virgos, I ask you, Jacqrat? You are so right. My favorite sign.

Huge.

Eyeroll.

Bloody Virgos. “The truth will set you free! Principles! Purity!”

Why can’t you people be nice and passive and gullible like my Libra friends? “Oh, that sounds like a good idea, TRex. Sure, I’ll come steal a car with you…”

Sigh.

Happiness is waking up the next morning and finding out two of your *favorite peeples* have riffed on a comment you wrote in Late Night.

Anti Catholicism s the anti semitism of the Left .

What’s really funny about this whole thing is that beyond the abortion thing, most Catholics I know are actually Democrats.

Funny…

What if Unilever ran an ad with an Orthodox Jew (in full regalia) secretly nibbling on some Oscar Meyer Bacon? (”It’s sinfully good!”)
How long would that fly?
I can say lots of funny things I’m sure would offend lots of groups of people, but if you want to run a sucessful business let alone ad campaign, you just don’t do it.

Point taken. It just doesn’t qualify as an “atrocity”, though. Bosnian Serbs massacring thousands of Bosnian Moslems, not that’s an atrocity.

But it pays Billy’s salary, I guess.

And how does he know the guy with the dip was attending a catholic service? Might have been Lutheran, Episcopalian, or sumfin else.
