Dignity USA, the US organization whose aim is to force the Catholic Church to marry gays (What? You’re CRAZY og! That never happens! ) is gaining strength. They have been around since I was in seminary, but they’re getting funding now from some pretty high powered sources. Here’s their “Vision statement” which of course doesn’t exist because og is a big stupid poopy head.

DignityUSA envisions and works for a time when Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Catholics are affirmed and experience dignity through the integration of their spirituality with their sexuality, and as beloved persons of God participate fully in all aspects of life within the Church and Society.

Nosiree, not happening. Like I said these guys have been around a long time, and they are just a nice group of peaceful people who are just the most wondrous types of folks you’d ever meet, and they have NO AGENDA. They really just want to be left alone. And have the Catholic church rain blessings down on them.

Gaah. I hate being right.

Look, if you haven’t been a Catholic for fifty years or more, and you don’t know where the bodies are buried by virtue of having buried some of them yourself, or if you know a gay guy and he’s not anything like that at all, or especially if you’re a twisted freak who was diddled by Pastor Ron when you were twelve and have a bone to pick with G-d, I really, really want to hear from you in comments. Nothing makes my day more than hearing from people who don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about.

Jeffro has passed.

I had some conversations with him back when he’d lost his house in a fire, and his cat with it. I know he had some health issues but I had no idea they were this well advanced.

G-d rest you, Jeffro. I hope you are reunited with your lost pets and all your troubles are behind you for eternity.

Wife and I went to OTB Saturday to place a bet or two and watch the Derby. While I love horses and I find horseracing fun to watch- for the two minutes it lasts- I have no skills and no luck. I know a few guys who have made a few dollars betting on the ponies, but I couldn’t box a $3 trifecta and win a race with three horses.

The wife actually did box a $3 trifecta and win a race with four horses, one was obviously such an also ran it was a clean bet- for her.

We didn’t win anything else, my handicapping skills are worse than useless. But it was fun watching people yell at the TV screens and go nuts. We’ll have to go up to Arlington some day so she can watch them in person.

I used to love to drive up to Dairyland too, but I always wanted to adopt about a hundred dogs and bring them home- and give them a couple cheeseburgers, poor skinny bastards. And they’ll let you, too, dangit.
