Funnies Stuff Bucky Katt is at it again: he proposes to make dinner for Rob and Satchel. He says he shall require a plump rat, a sprig of catnip, and a throw rug. Cotton. I think I know what the throw rug is for. Food Stuff We didn’t order a pizza tonight, we marinated some salmon in a ponzu-like concoction that consisted of soysauce, orange juice, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, toasted sesame seeds, ground multi-colored pepper, and garlic. This time, there was a little wasabi in there. Last time, I grated some orange zest in there. Either way, it…

We have a priest, finally. His first Sunday was last week when David and I were out of town, so today was my first chance to meet him. His last church must have been much, much larger and unmiked – he has a very big preaching voice. Don’t know if he’ll conduct a sung service or not – I can hear the he has a very nice baritone for the hymns (even from Choir Country along the back wall) but he chose to give a spoken service today (probably because it’s the doldrums of August; Marion always sang the service,…

The California State Supreme Court has ruled that the gay marriages performed last spring were illegal and never valid. One woman quoted in today’s San Francisco Chronicle said “It’s back to second class citzenship for us.”

Via AKMA, I ran across the following rant on the “emerging church” movement. Stop using things like the Book of Common Prayer and candles and incense because you think they’re cool. At least go to an Episcopal service, or an Orthodox service, or a Roman Catholic service and actually learn a little bit about their liturgy before you start saying things like, “and now for an old Anglican prayer. ” It’s not just an old prayer! It’s the liturgy practiced by thousands of people all over the world – right now! The candles and incense? They mean something. It’s not…

Okay, this works for me on so many levels: towleroad reports he’s a friend of TAR4’s Chip (not to be confused with TAR5 Chip). Anyway, the .50 millionaire of Season 4 is at the Democratic National Convention and had an encounter of his own with Bill O’Reilly. Remember him? He was one of the married guys. 😉 ‘Bill, I am gay, was married, and would appreciate you maybe next time on your show recognizing that two same-sex people in love should share the same rights as any other couple.’ He said, ‘I will consider it.’ Someone should start a blog…

The instruction sheet circulated by the Bush-Cheney campaign to religious volunteers lists 22 “duties” to be performed by specific dates. By July 31, for example, volunteers are to “send your Church Directory to your State Bush-Cheney ’04 Headquarters or give [it] to a BC04 Field Rep” and “Talk to your Pastor about holding a Citizenship Sunday and Voter Registration Drive.” If anybody from Holy Moly sends our directory to the Repugnicans, there will be Hell. To. Pay. Our incoming vicar won’t be here until the first week in August, anyway, so we’re already behind. However, a Voter’s Registration drive may…

Herriman Mayor J. Lynn Crane balked at allowing a group opposing a proposed constitutional amendment banning gay marriage to pass out literature from a booth at the city’s founders day party last Saturday. But Crane’s decision may put the 5-year-old city on shaky legal ground Utahns – if you see a booth for Don’t Amend Alliance in Layton, Tooele, Park City or Torrey at your local 4th of July celebration, step up and say hello. And by the way, no they’re not recruiting. Sheesh. Disclaimer: My marriage continues to thrive no matter how many gay people manage to commit matrimony.…

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – People can keep sharing their fried chicken and green bean casserole if Illinois lawmakers get their way. The Illinois Senate voted 51-1 Monday in favor of loosening health regulations for traditional potluck dinners. The measure passed the House earlier, so now it goes to the governor. Hey, this one actually benefits Holy Moly, how ’bout that? We’ve had to change plans for potluck fundraisers a couple of times because we were reminded that we could not advertise them in the suburban paper, thus making them “public events” and subject to health department rules. So hey! Politicking isn’t…
