  • Mon, 12:49: I'm idly curious how the Westboro Baptist Church people *afford* to travel to all the funerals. Do they have some very rich backers?
  • Mon, 12:50: @faren800 @cottageandvine Given your insane decorating skillz, have you gotten a tent decorating award at the 3-Day?

  • Mon, 18:54: Oh, joy. No training tomorrow due to ice and stuff. Customer's gotta do what they gotta due for safety, but boy. I'm *bored*.
  • Mon, 18:54: @kscincotta I'm bored enough that I'm gonna need you and Shen to record and post a duet of "Baby Monkey Riding Backwards On A Pig".
  • Mon, 19:30: Reasons to root for Auburn: #1 It would really irritate the Alabama fans.
  • Mon, 19:31: Reason #2: to root for Auburn: it would really annoy Phil Knight if the Tigers won and made Oregon look worse than they already do.

  • Mon, 20:40: My prediction: Aubrin 38 Oregon 24
  • Mon, 20:42: 25-year uniform retrospective: Oregon versus Aubrin. They could just run a still for Aubrin while the Oregon side would STROBE.
  • Mon, 20:45: For me, it comes down to disliking Oregon more than Aubrin. Aubrin at least knows what grits are.
  • Mon, 20:57: TCU would eat either of these two teams alive, based on the sloppy play so far.
  • Mon, 21:03: Good solid college football fundamentals != throw three picks in the first ten minutes. Run the damn ball.
  • Mon, 21:04: IAWTP RT @PeteThamelNYT: Auburn's Nick Fairley will be the best NFL player on the field tonight. Not sure it will be close.

Re Westboro nuts church: Yes. They're basically a single very wealthy extended family. I think constantly suing people for infringement of their free speech rights may have a lot to do with their funding.

I don't like, any more than most people do, in saying "I disagree with your right to even SAY your opinion."

But I know in the eyes of the law there's a ban against speech likely to cause a breach of the peace. Disturbing the peace, I should say -- I believe "breach of the peace" is the English term and "disturbing the peace" is ours.

But showing up at a 9-year-old girl's funeral and trying to be as disruptive as possible... how is that not "disturbing the peace"? If that isn't, what is?
