that evil sponge bob OK-sponge bob is a little odd but these people have lost it. My personal favorite "Yesterday however, Paul Batura, assistant to Dobson, said Focus on the Family stood by its assertions. "We see the video as an insidious means by which the organization is manipulating and potentially brainwashing kids," he said. " The whole article Conservative group targets 'pro-homosexual' SpongeBob video THEY HAVE MET THE ENEMY -- SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS By DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK THE NEW YORK TIMES WASHINGTON -- On the heels of electoral victories to bar same-sex marriage, some influential conservative Christian groups are turning their attention to a new target: SpongeBob SquarePants. "Does anybody here know SpongeBob?" James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, asked the guests Tuesday night at a black-tie dinner for members of Congress and political allies to celebrate the election results. In many circles, SpongeBob needs no introduction. He is popular among children and grownups as well who watch him cavorting under the sea on the Nickelodeon cartoon program that bears his name. In addition, he has become a camp figure among adult gay men, perhaps because he holds hands with his animated sidekick Patrick. Now, Dobson said, SpongeBob's creators had enlisted him in a "pro-homosexual video," in which he appeared alongside other children's television characters such as Barney and Jimmy Neutron, among many others. The video's makers, he said, planned to mail it to thousands of elementary schools this spring to promote a "tolerance pledge" that includes tolerance for differences of "sexual identity." He urged his allies to stand against it as part of a "spiritual battle" for the country. The video's creator, Nile Rodgers, who wrote the disco hit "We Are Family," says Dobson's objection stemmed from a misunderstanding. Rodgers said he founded the We Are Family Foundation after the Sept. 11 attacks to create a music video featuring 100 well-known cartoon characters dancing to his song in order to teach children about multiculturalism. The video has appeared on Nickelodeon and other networks, and nothing in it or its accompanying materials refers to sexual identity. The "tolerance pledge," which was borrowed from the Southern Poverty Law Center, is not mentioned on the video. Rodgers suggested that Dobson and the American Family Association, the conservative Christian group that first sounded the alarm, might have been confused by an unrelated Web site belonging to another group called "We Are Family." That site is owned by a Charleston, S.C., group that supports gay youth. Mark Barondeso, general counsel for the We Are Family Foundation, suggested that anyone who says the video promotes homosexuality "needs to visit their doctor and get their medication increased." Yesterday however, Paul Batura, assistant to Dobson, said Focus on the Family stood by its assertions. "We see the video as an insidious means by which the organization is manipulating and potentially brainwashing kids," he said.

we were skiing near chair peak at the time or at least that was the plan. we bailed out about 12:15 b/c of snow conditions. the surface layer was more like sand then snow. the base may not be very good this year but i can definitely see how this could've happened after being back there yesterday. a spfd truck with it's lights on was pulling in as we were pulling out. it seemed odd at the time. i'm sorry it wasn't a training drill.

sad news from alpental we were in the valley at the time this happened. conditions were bad and we turned around about noon. be careful out there. just want to add my condolences to the family of the lost skier.

not entirely sure this is true but we just put mcafee on our new computer and we've had nothing but problems. not that we've had any viruses but we're always getting some error or another. little stuff but it's a nuissance. i used to have norton and never had a problem with it.

i highly recommend the idea of running away to the deserted island. mine was "casual" but still a smidge stressful but very inexpensive. don't mind having the pretty diamond but i would've been if he'd financed it. if you don't have 3month's salary saved don't buy it. if she won't marry you with a simple band why would you want to marry her? and why the hell would anyone want to spend enough for the down payment on a house on their wedding.

i'm shocked these aren't already on the McDonald's dessert menu. tasty treat Deep-fried Mars bar taking Scotland by storm Thu Dec 16, 9:45 AM ET PARIS (AFP) - The deep-fried Mars bar, a nutritionist's nightmare that surfaced in Scotland about a decade ago, is now an established part of the Scottish culinary scene, according to a letter published in The Lancet. Dipped in batter and then cooked in hot oil, the Mars bar is now on sale in more than a fifth of Scotland's 627 fish-and-chip shops, it says.
