elfsQuote #1: "It's interesting, however appalling, to see what's next on the agenda of The Sodomy Lobby: Marriage licenses for sadomasochists."
Paging Dr. Cluebat, paging Dr. Cluebat, Les Kinsolving needs a clue stat. Mr. Kinsolving is foaming at the mouth over the "advocacy of legal marriage of sadists with masochists." Color me stunned.
Quote #2: "The D.A.R. [Daughters of the American Revolution]. . . is composed of females who spend one half their waking hours boasting of being descended from the seditious American colonists of 1776, and the other more ardent half in attacking all contemporaries who believe in precisely the principles for which such ancestors struggled.
Quote #3: "What amazes me is that so-called 'people of faith' like to set themselves up as having a slightly finer sensibility than you or me but in fact they are completely intellectually irresponsible. They used to come up with very bad arguments for their faiths but at least they felt that there was something they should provide. Now mere wilfulness has triumphed."
The Guardian Unlimited asks: How Good a Speller are You?
I scored 19 out of 23.

Date: 2004-09-16 01:32 pm (UTC)Yeah, I'm the sort of person who's disappointed about only getting 87% on a spelling test. Feel free to throw spitballs at the nerd now. ;) I should qualify by saying that, back in my glory days (how sad that these were my glory days), I was two-time county spelling champion, and came in 3rd at state the second time. So, yeah, 87% is pretty disappointing.
I'm also kind of tickled that my innate talent for spelling seems to be carrying over into my foreign language learning. It would appear that I'm the best speller in my Danish class as well.
