"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

I guess that's a compelling reason to check the plumbing before hand.
That's what's funny. She (he) claimed to be pregnant before the wedding. WTF? The whole story makes my head spin.

I remember reading that article (in the Trib) when it happened. I told the story to a group of non-mormons during graduate school, but no one believed me - they said that he had to know that his wife was a dude. I tried to assure them that in certain segments of the mormon world it was indeed possible to (A) not have basic genital knowledge and (B) "never have intimacy," as the first comment in the DNews article so eloquently puts it. Everyone just laughed me off and said I was trying to explain away a clear case of repressed homosexuality.
After I told the story and was laughed at, a guy came up to me and said that he had been raised mormon in Salt Lake, had read the story while in junior high, and had become obsessed with not making the same mistake. He told me it was the beginnings of his desire to leave the church. After he told me this, he muttered "Felix Urioste" and walked away.

As a died-in-the-wool, multi-generational Mormon, I am calling BS and siding with your friends.

"Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action. His actions are supposed to reflect his ethical code.
The rest of us rarely bother to think about our actions." --Solon

"I honestly believe saying someone is a smart lawyer is damning with faint praise. The smartest people become engineers and scientists." -SU. "Yet I still see wisdom in that which Uncle Ted posts." -creek. GIVE 'EM HELL, BRIGHAM!
It only took a PR black eye, but progress is progress.
Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats.

Not a big fan of parts of that article - but I suppose that is to be expected coming from Mother Jones.
FYI - I just heard that BSA has pushed up their decision time frame. They were going to decide in May. Apparently they are now planning to meet Monday.

How is anyone supposed to take a news organization seriously with the name of "Mother Jones"?
