i’m gratified to read that the texas supreme court has ordered the return of the yearning for zion kids to their parents. i’m not crazy about the idea of marrying teenage girls off to older men,¹ but there is that whole freedom of religion thing we’ve had for two centuries. i’d rather freedom from religion, but that’s just me.

in other religious news, the military has suspended a marine (hopefully by his toenails) for proselytizing to iraqis; i just wish they’d do the same to military officers who can’t keep their religious yaps shut when it comes to their own troops.

and go read freakangels. it’s good for what ails ya.
