And I stand by my comments about the Arizona Republic. As for Molly Ivins, I wish her the best. Don't forget - I don't believe in death, and you won't find me shedding tears for anyone left, right, young, old or inbetween. That's not because I'm callous or heartless it's because I believe in reincarnation.

However, Lindy went off the conspiracy tangent again implying conservatives were psycho-killers giving people breast cancer and I also wanted to set the record straight about the changes in the Arizona Republic.

I'm sorry that set you off.

You and the Yeti formerly known as DL are victims of the same uptightness that gives one high blood pressure and it certainly appears from here that you both possess the exact same sort of hatred and intolerance you can't stand in others. If you knew I was black, and had my address, surely I'd be swinging by a noose from a branch before dawn. Celebrating diversity, one finds out, is for those who look different so long as they think the same - if they think different they are inhuman 'a-----es' who aren't worth a plugged nickel.

So you Yetser and Bowz have a good time and go ahead and trash talk about me and anyone else who disagrees with you - get it out of your system. Unleash the profanity and invectives. I'll still be smilin' and winking all the while, because, like Jesus on the hill of Calvary, this is the time one has to turn the other cheek. (and not those cheeks below the beltline)
