I badly needed a laugh, so I'll share this one: HILARIOUS baiting of GOPs

[Nothing Without Hope]

(I've also posted this in the GLBT forum)

One of my favorite sites, Jesus' General, posted this today. He's a sensitive man under his long-running and magnificently sarcastic faux identity, so I'm guessing he felt the same way I do. AFter all these tears and more to come, we need a smile.

The General reports that a reader sent him the photo and the story behind it:

He explains, with his tongue as usual in his cheek: "David Mazel is proud of the work his little band of merry Republicans do cleaning up litter in Dr. Dobson's back yard."

After the sign went up, it occurred to Brooks Haynie and me that some of the local Republicans might be a bit miffed. Brooks thought we owed them an explanation. So he got on the agenda of the next GOP district party meeting (we'd both made sure to register as Republicans beforehand). At the meeting he proceeded to explain calmly that some people consider the Republican Party less than fully tolerant toward gay Americans. God only knows where folks would get such an idea, he said, but anyway we at Alamosa's Gay Republican Majority thought we could do our little bit to correct that misperception, and at the same time help beautify the local highways. What's not to like?

As Brooks reached the point in this little spiel about how everyone at the meeting was invited to join our group and help us pick up trash, I was trying my best to keep a straight face and passing out our brochure, which featured a dancing pink circus elephant in a tutu. When we were through, the local party chairman thanked us politely; he really seemed not to know whether we were serious or not. But several other less gullible people in the room were shooting us decidedly dirty looks, and one local honcho in particular seemed about to explode in anger. It seemed a good time to exit, and we did.

7. YVW. It was my first laugh too, so I had to share. We can thank David

Mazel and his partner and "The General," to whom David sent that wonderful picture and the story.

But even "The General" has a limit, and he just can't laugh any more. Look at his site today:

8. one kick to give a smile to those that missed it
