I'm looking for a couple of pictures that have been on FR in the last week or so. One is a picture of the fat guy wearing a tan shirt standing next to the guy with the horns and fur.

Bishop Vasa requests A few people have emailed to say that after they sent their own kudos to Bishop Robert Vasa of Bend, Oregon for his public stance opposing the use of “safe environment sex education” programs in his diocese, they received personal email responses back.
