PapaJoe PlaceMat

One of my wife’s coworkers read my post on the SpongeBob controvery — Of Course Sponge Bob is Gay! She enjoyed it so much that she bought me a new SpongeBob SquarePants placemat, much to the envy of my 2 year old. However, being a good sport, she (who’ll be 3 in May) brought it to me last night just before our house blessing. I told her I was going to take it to work with me.

“No! You don’t take it to work, Dad. You sit your plate on it; your fork; and your juice.”

God love her. I can’t clearly see me, sitting down with my other four family members, and I’m the only one with a big bright yellow cartoon placemat. THAT would look queer, no?

Anyway, if we get our act together, Huw Raphael and I will be co-authoring an article about cartoon characters later in the week. Alas, before we’ve even hammered our words out, USA Today is running a pity piece on cartoon characters who are in the closet. Where’s Dave Barry when you need him?

Needless to say, the storm caused by Dr Dobson’s comments certainly “has legs” —

In fact, you may now have to do some serious sleuthing to ever find the truth about the We Are Family organization.

Just by pointing out that Dobson’s (whose show I have never listened to) words may have been twisted out of context, yours truly came under fire by fierce fans of tolerance (scroll down).

Face it, with all the problems in the world, if, after the November elections, THIS is all we have to argue about … life’s pretty good outside Toonville.



Glory to God for all things!
