He looks very spiritual in his prayer sarong and Brooks Brothers suit.

> What a name. Second Gentleman. You can bet he squats to pee.

Hard to come up with something better that mirrors "Second Lady".

"Consort"? (Husband of a reigning Queen is "King Consort"...)

I can't speak to his urination habits, nor do I wish to speculate on them.

I refrained above (#18) from posting a pic of her. I’ll ask that you do the same. This thread is weird enough already.

Can the term “gentleMAN” be used by a Dimocrat?

I have nothing against Buddhists. Met many brave ones in So. Vietnam and Cambodia during the wars. However, just to lighten the atmosphere for a few seconds I’m renaming some of the guests for giggles and grins.

” Bangmo Dixiecrats
“ Bhanti Uppayorantennae
* Marvin Hardon
* Welltarthung Rimshot
“ Shakeyor Ramalamadingdonger
“ Erica Moritasugmo

Excuse my misspellings. I never learned Buddhism names properly.

Please send all complaints to Google’s Fact Chess & Checkers and High School flunkouts.

It’s ‘allowable’ if not a little tasteless as to location and timing. A US Memorial Day that somehow wasn’t even noted by the WH takes precidence over Buddah.

I found these ‘guidelines’ from the clinton admin, which probably haven’t changed much, and basically, if the area is not usually open to the public, and it’s on off-the-clock time, it can be done. Brace yourself for Obeah spell casting next:

“(g) During lunch, certain employees gather on their own time for prayer and Bible study in an empty conference room that employees are generally free to use on a first-come, first-served basis. Such a gathering does not constitute religious harassment even if other employees with different views on how to pray might feel excluded or ask that the group be disbanded.”

Just a modern version of the Ashera pole.

Pretty much. It’s all the same.

There is HaShem and “not”.

This is “not”.
