Thanks for the heads-up on Westboro wimping out on another idle threat. Seems they can't take the heat after all. Maybe now, they'll start thinking more clearly once they see that more and more people are tiring of their act.<br /><br />Oh, and check out what's up in Toon Zone's Story Board when you get a sec......hobbyfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089664500077967952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319982385052710495.post-19341818401075448202012-02-10T19:20:10.585-05:002012-02-10T19:20:10.585-05:00Hobbyfan: As you may or may not know, I live in th...Hobbyfan: As you may or may not know, I live in the Seattle-Tacoma, WA area, and the story about the Powell children's death and the fact that their dad set the fire and all the stuff about that story has dominated the news up here on TV and Radio since it happened last Sunday.<br /><br />Also, I get alerts from the local newspaper via e-mail(the Tacoma News Tribune in this case) and earlier today I got a breaking news alert saying the Westboro people won't be picketing the Powell kids funeral after all(thank goodness).<br /><br />It's unfortunte though that every time the Seattle area is in the news, it's for something negative.<br /><br />Although there is the whole new arena possibility thing for Seattle, which is good news.<br /><br />It really stinks, because the Seattle area is a beautiful area of the country(as is Western Washington).<br /><br />If more people knew that there were more good then bad things about the area where I live, maybe more people would visit here and maybe we wouldn't have a bad economy.<br /><br />But that's what you have to deal with if you live in the Seattle area(as I do). Plus there was the thing about money being embezzled from the fund for the 4 Lakewood police officers that were killed a few years back.<br /><br />I guess though we're still going to have the bad attention leveled on Seattle-Tacoma, because there are stupid people who continue to do stupid things up here.Scoobyfan1https://www.blogger.com/profile/18432518067992034937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319982385052710495.post-43566664850908040052012-02-10T08:55:09.924-05:002012-02-10T08:55:09.924-05:00As I wrote, Magicdog, Westboro is using the funera...As I wrote, Magicdog, Westboro is using the funeral as an excuse to protest the state's legislation allowing same-sex marriage, but they have 0 regard for the recently deceased. They have their agenda, and that's all that matters to them. <br /><br />The sad part is that Marge Phelps is a lawyer, and has the 1st Amendment in her pocket to protect her and her flock of fools. All I know is that they are deliberately misinterpreting what it says in the Bible. We didn't have this kind of ruckus with Anita Bryant 30+ years ago, and now she seems more like Joan of Arc next to these losers.hobbyfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089664500077967952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319982385052710495.post-6791493687326750952012-02-10T05:19:58.923-05:002012-02-10T05:19:58.923-05:00Damn I wish these people would go away!
The sad d...Damn I wish these people would go away!<br /><br />The sad death of the Powell children isn't enough (not to mention the saddened soul of the social worker who was the last person to see them alive and witness the house explode) but they have to turn it into another circus is just a travesty.<br /><br />Had the Powells been a same sex couple there might be more of a connection to the protest, but really, there is no excuse for these weasles to be there.magicdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10755186050643383954noreply@blogger.com
