It's particularly puzzling why the American Taliban is making such a big deal about gay issues large and small, considering that the Messiah they allegedly swear allegiance to didn't say zilch about gay/lesbian/bi/or straightness. Just about caring for the "least of these," which certainly applies to a bunch of children in need of a loving, supporting family.

So yeah, Spaw, my "humor" is more of the gallows kind. The situation is so grim and disgusting I don't know what to do but pull out my big irony gun and point it in that general direction. I can't believe we're chasing around blowing up various parts of the world and threatening to devastate others when the equivalent of a World Trade Center full of children is dying from stavation just about every day we draw breath.

We live amidst much irrationality.
