Those chumps should be warned that they protest at my alma mater of Garfield High at their peril. Bulldogs are notoriously intolerant of intolerant people.

On second hand, maybe don't warn them.

I find it hilarious that they plan to protest SPU. I mean, my schools are insanely liberal! Practically a third of my faculty is queer! I deeply resent the fact that my university is being considered beneath their notice.

If there are counter-protests, I'd be happy to lend my atheist presence.

Women and court/politices - personally I don't think this crap will stop until these old white guys die off. I keep hoping something will freak them out enough to cause a fatal seizure, but it hasn't happened yet.

Too bad that Seattle is too classy to use the Lubbock solution. According to Molly Ivins, when either the Klan or the Nazi Party came to town to march on Main Street a decade ago (and I can't remember which group it was) the town gathered along the sidewalks, and hundreds and hundreds of residents...
