    I hired this contractor named Jesus once. He kept saying he would come back and finish the work he started, but never did.

    Seriously, though. Fred and his daughter Shirley are the most shameless media whores I've ever seen. I wish Mike Gallagher would quit buying them off from proesting funerals with radio time. It only encourages them. Did they even give an explanation of why they planned to picket the Amish funerals?

    I think if we ignored them, they would go away. This is perhaps the hardest thing of all for the media to do, though. I suppose in a way, I'm glad they've taken to travelling all over to harass people around the country as it gives Topeka and the surrounding area a break. IIRC, they used to picket the same diner in Topeka every day.

    Yeah, i'm surprised no-one has taken any shots at them while they protest at soldier's funerals (WHY they do this I have no idea), especially in the south.

    They were gonna protest at a soldier's funeral here in Utah, but the family called for help from some biker group called the Patriot Guard Riders. Funny thing, the protesters decided not to show up.

    My favorite quote from the WBC wiki "Two days after the September 11th attacks, a lone 19-year old named Jared stood on the street corner facing the church holding up a cardboard sign that said "Not today Fred." In two days, about 90 people joined him, waving American flags and anti-hate signs. Since then, "Not today Fred" has become a commonly used motto for counter protests against Phelps."

    (UtahMike, I'm not picking on you. My mom is from Cedar City, and as Mormon as they come.)
    Why should I feel picked on? We agree on this subject.

    Oh, and for what it's worth, not everybody from Utah is LDS, and I'm one of the ones who isn't.

    Doesn't that mean you have to move?
