I heard the Helen Thomas comment.
Brian is on a mission this morning. Even E.D. jumped in to scorn the dude who is whining about the crosses erected to make the spot where peace officers have died in the line of work.
The Dog Spit thing is interesting. Did you hear the comment about dog spit being an excellent treatment for diaper rash? Oh My! The Vision. Much as I love my gc, I would never ask their poochies to lick their bottoms, altho both families have Labs as 4 legged family members, so it's entirely possible the furry family member would comply if asked.
I suspect the dogs wouldn't have to be asked. My dogs, especially Tippy who missed his calling as a nurse, would start licking any scratch or sore. I learned that if I didn't want to be licked to death to keep wounds covered. Maybe that is what helped my wounds heal faster.
That same "dude" made this riculous statement: (paraphrasing)"Putting up crosses there would intrude upon the freedom of practicing the diversity of religion."
