OK, rugged good looks? Smart but sexy fasion sense? Rick Warren? That was snark, right?

The man looks like he completely passed over the part about the sin of gluttony....

Obviously, I didn't understand that it was actually a conspiracy. Yikes. And here, I thought it was either spin or the "natural result of media dialectics".

And so... Does that mean Rachel Zoll of Associated Press is part of this conspiracy? Is she, too, overcome by the Santa-like good looks, profusive sensuality of Rick Warren.

If it is a conspiracy it is one that smells like the Democratic party...but I think the conspiracy theory gives far too much credit to our community.

The LGBTs have been properly trained to be obedient and subservient to the Party, that's for damn sure...but, conspiracy? no.

Groupthink - HELL YES!

Woot!

We've still got 3 weeks to watch Warren wiggle out of the fix he's in, and I'm gonna enjoy every minute of it before I get too reasonable. Any bets on whether he'll gnaw his own foot off?

"I live shockingly close to Bil, and the only thing protecting me now is the fact that it's such a hassle to drive all the way up to Hamilton County, what with the weather being so bad and all."

For those national readers who have no idea what Hamilton County is, it is one county north of Marion County, which is essentially Indianapolis make into a giant rectangular pixel on Google Earth.

Hamilton County has, and still largely is, one of the most solidly Republican areas of the country, and law enforcement records indicate that Alex himself has been arrested for "driving while queer" around 96th and Meridian, which forms the county's southern boundary. What he's saying is that Bil doesn't venture up there much because the whole city of Carmel is a virtual gated community of about 70,000 and Jerame has't yet figured out the password. The weather has nothing at all to do with it. (I would have used a stated figure just under 69K but then this would have turned this into an impolite sex-obsessed site and I know how much Bil's detractors HATE politeness.

Alex accuses (on Christmas Eve Day, of all really crass and insensitive things) Bil of being part of a giant conspiracy concerning the national dialogue on Rick Warren. Bil and Jerame live near a section of Indianapolis called Irvington, where all kinds of other conspiracies abound, so I'm not all that surprised. Bill Ayres was seen at a small corner coffee show there holding a newspaper with a small picture of Barak Obama in the lower right hand corner of the front page, while Bil was across the street filling up his gas tank and bitching about $4.50 gasoline. Although he didn't glance in the shop's direction, we all KNOW about that clever subterfuge, don't we?

I also have to confess that after recently watching a reprocessed episode of the original Star Wars trilogy, I adopted a Yoda-like relationship with Bil Skywalker, er, Browning in which I trained him in pronouncing the word "hate" in various ways so as to differentiate Fred Phelps from Rick Warren from Judy Garland. When he balked concerning the latter of the three I chewed him out for being insensitive and not inclusive.

That got Wayman Hudson out of joint and I got a nasty message concerning my ageism and how it was wrecking the civility that had begun to blossom on the Bilerico comment threads. I promised to make a big contribution to the "Repeal Florida's Proposition 2" and that settled him down at least for the holidays.

After Obama is sworn into office January 20th I hear that there will be a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to try and unravel what appears to be a big blogger Ponzi scheme where Alex has invested in Bilerico Media promising a 12% annual rate of return but Bil is secretly putting the money in Saddleback Ministries with no hope of ultimate return.

The Commission may also be able to find out the Carmel password for Jerame. But don't hold your breath.

It's a universal password in Carmel, Indiana.

Thanks Alex (and Cindy)!

I needed a good laugh. Well done!

You're all a real bunch of fruitcakes.

Alex, if you are worried about being knocked off for speaking out, just be glad to don't fly a small airplane.

Well, at least you got the 'crack' part of it right - if you meant that those people were high on it.

It's all so clear now..... the 'Judas Eight'.... well have to be careful now that they know that we know and even worse we now know that they know that we know who they are which is way more dangerous than knowing who they aren't...... now the question is: do we know who we are?

Come on down to the farm in Knox county. From my home on a hilltop you can see another queer coming at you from a mile away. Bil would never get to you....
