They're dressing their kids in red, white and blue??? I wonder how long
they plan to keep that up?

Oh dear. I've laughed several times since this happened. How tasteless.

Nah. Despite the best efforts of her right-wing pals, it isn't and

Hmmm. I seem to remember that kids played football and had school dances
all through our last official war, and during Korea and Vietnam too. Would
any of the dads, uncles, aunts, sisters and brothers overseas have wanted it
any other way for the kids back at home?
> 2:18:01 Paula. Friend sent an email. Everyone at 7 pm is supposed to

Doesn't she know email is evil? No good can come from what is inherently
bad. I hope Laura set her straight.

Someone needs to explain to Sandra what being a Christian means:
"But I say to you that hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate
you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. To him who
strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from him who takes away
your coat do not withhold even your shirt. Give to every one who begs from
you; and of him who takes away your goods do not ask them again. And as you
wish that men would do to you, do so to them.
"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even
sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good
to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. And if
you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you?
Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive as much again. But love your
enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward
will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for he is kind to the
ungrateful and the selfish. Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful."
Here's one Christian's commentary on that:
"The men who were bidden to love their enemies were living in enemy-occupied
territory, where resentment was natural and provocation frequent. They were
not just to submit to aggression, but to rob it of its sting by voluntarily
going beyond its demands. To those who believe in standing up for their
individual or national rights this teaching has always seemed idealistic, if
not actually immoral. But those who are concerned with the victory of the
kingdom of God over the kingdom of Satan can see that it is the only
realism. He who retaliates thinks that he is manfully resisting aggression;
in fact, he is making an unconditional surrender to evil. Where before there
was one under the control of evil, now there are two. Evil propagates by
contagion. It can be contained and defeated only when hatred, insult, and
injury are absorbed and neutralized by Love...
"Most people - even sinners - have a rough-and-ready ethic based on common
sense, enlightened self-interest, give-and-take; and they can claim to be as
good as their neighbours. But the followers of Jesus must go further. The
Christian ethic is Ethics Part II. Other systems distinguish what is right
from what is wrong: Jesus distinguishes what is good from what is merely
right, and urges his disciples not to be content with the lower standard.
Duty is not enough. Duty obeys the rules, but love grasps opportunities.
Duty acts under constraint, love is spontaneous and therefore gracious. Duty
expects to be recompensed or at least recognized, love expects nothing in
return. To love like that is to be sons of the Most High; for likeness is
proof of parentage. 'Be merciful' might appear to be less exacting than
Matthew's 'You, therefore, must be perfect' (Matt. 5:41). In the Old
Testament, however, to be perfect means to be completely loyal and is a
normal human virtue, but mercy is the very character of God. The son must
inherit the attributes of his Father."
A Christian must believe that Jesus was there in those doomed airplanes with
the terrorists, loving them, as well as with their victims. Hard to do, but
that's kinda the whole point.
> 2:49:11 Laura. Supposed to fly to Ireland next week. Having

> about the flight.
When we went to England in the late 80s-early 90s, we flew in and out of
Shannon rather than London. We figured hijackers and terrorists were
unlikely pick a non-US, non-British airline flying into the Republic of
Ireland. By the way, that shows this is nothing new. I guess Laura was too
poor to travel back then, though, seeing as how she was a stay at home mom
and Lew was too poor to pay his child support.

This is actually a valid point.

This is "psychic" Laura speaking. It's entirely possible those people do "get

Yes, indeed. The pain DL causes others certainly keeps her motivated.

What kind of family messages does a show called "The Rifleman" promote?

We support those countries who are too scared or poor to attack us, even though

Also in this recap: "Deryk story from Laura, defending a friend."
It seems she's talking more and more about the wit and wisdom of Deryk
"Mini-Me" Schlessinger. How much you wanna bet her next book includes
something from Deryk?

New Wartime Rules from Diktator Laura: No laughing, no video games, and
no shopping in the mall. Everyone must stay home and listen to My Show.

And it's not just a flag, people, it's huge! I tell you, this flag is big

In _Microserfs_, one of the characters asks another who it was who
called their generation slackers (as they work through another 14 hour
day). It was the author of the book, who coined the term in his earlier
_Generation X_, Douglas Coupland. Take it up with him.

That's nothing. There's this retired colonel who reads Usenet instead of
defending our country. Why doesn't Laura go after him instead of some
slacker?

Can we assume that this response did not include a quick trip to the
local Army recruiting center?
>1:28:27 Shawnette. Watching news last night. Saw President Bush. Says she is

For about two seconds, he was unable to speak.
We've established that the Shrub can show his emotions. We have yet
to establish that he is capable of clear rational thought. Some
Presidents grew into the job, let's hope for the sake of the USA
that he is one of them.

Warmth, family messages, and lots of dead guys.

They certainly look good by comparison.

Exactly. What kind of unpatriotic asshole would spend time on an
on-line discussion board during this national crisis. He's probably
nothing more than kommie ... I mean, terrorist scum.
>She's 22, he's 20. Laura is incredulous that the

He should be doing something useful for the war effort, like calling
Doktor Laura.

Good point. Apparently, many of the terrorists received shelter in
Florida, so stop drinking orange juice.

Is it any surprise she'd pick a show that was one of the most one-dimensional

& "Bonanza" look like "War & Peace" by comparison. It was more closely related
to the juvenile westerns of the early 50's radio and movies.

One terrorism "expert" on TV (sorry, can't remember which one,

I think Fred has explained that the boys and girls are kept separate in the
school and during social events, like dances and those trips to the beach
with bonfires. Now we learn that there IS social intercourse outside of the
school*, which makes me for one very, very disappointed. I won't be
laughing any more today.
*Would that make it outercourse?

I guess we'd better be proud of Laura who cries even more than the

Chuck Conners was one of my first crushes. I think he tried to be
peaceful but had no trouble blowing people away with his trusty rifle
at the climax of the show. Family messages - let's see - the main
character was a widower who had no trouble dropping his son off with
the local schoolmarm, or was she a saloon owner - no, sorry, thinking
Gunsmoke - while he rode off to shoot down bad guys. Can anyone say
daycare?
Also, Anyone remember Rin-Tin-Tin?

I read on Ain't-It-Cool-News today of the death of Alan Z.Arkoff who
brought us such treasures as The Amazing Colossal Man (fear of atomic
exposure), The Beast with 50,000 Eyes, as well as Beach Blanket Bingo
and Muscle Beach with Frankie and Annette, and The Fall of the House

DL, black planes DO fly over my house, and my mom's house too. Between

It is probably because they didn't know each other for 6 months and
had an engagement of less than a year. Penny, it must be all your
