A little good, fun news from Kansas
for a change!

I just got home from working the Topeka Aids Project Auction. We raised a record amount of money tonight. The last 3 years have apparently been pretty low but this year was the top. I think it was a good indication that people are pretty pissed at the way things are going in this state.

A couple of funny things. I bid and bid and bid on a full size, very tall manequin that was dressed in outdoor/cowboy garb. He had pinned to his vest a sign that said Phuck Pfred, I think that is why I got out bid rather quickly. Damn I really wanted it.

The other thing I found amusing was in the live auction. It was a picture of Eric McCormick from Will and Grace (I don't have a clue, never watched it). It said on the picture, Fred Phelps is an asshole and was signed. It sold for $750.00.

All in all we made a bit over $30,000.00. Coming from this community I think it was pretty darned successful.

5. Thanks.
It was my first one and I had a wonderful time. Next year I want to be a Vanna White. We did not have one this year, we had Manna Whites!

3. Pfred would be piffed about the $30,000.
He will probably have to fax his displeasured hate all around KS. Congrats for your good efforts. (May Pfred broil in his own creation of his own personal hell).

6. He is in hell now.
Can you imagine what it must be like to hate anyone as much as he hates everyone? Still, a little hellfire in eternity will do him good.
