WTF is going on??

L.A. Times:
"Girl Scouts are dangerous -- and not just to your diet. At least that's what Indiana lawmaker Bob Morris says. He has labeled the Girls Scouts of America a radical organization that promotes homosexuality and abortion and is out to destroy American values."


Great reader comment / my thoughts exactly:
"The GOP has become a refuge for backward morons. It's very sad. I remember when the party was a fine secular and libertarian outfit. I didn't always agree with them back then but at least they were sane. Now every religous nutjob is involved with the GOP. It's impossible to reason with these people. Really, it's like a casting pearls before swine.  As Will Rogers said, 'It's not what they know. It's what they know that just aint so.' So sad to see a once viable GOP end up in a cesspool of ignorance."

Home

It could be that I’m only back visiting and thus am in a different mindset, but I really feel at peace when I’m here. After living 6 months in what is in a lot of ways, the antithesis of Los Angeles, I can see how some people who come here become so enchanted with this city. Add in the food, the weather and old friends/family and I’m in love again.

On the topic of friends, most of us are lucky to have that handful that will always be there – they might have matured/changed (in a good way) but after a few minutes …or seconds, it’s like I never left. As much as I like Lund, L.A. will always be my home in a way that no other city can be.

She kisses me windy...
