Um... a tsunami is a tidal wave, not an earthquake. (But I s'pose there might also be earthquake debris floating around out there.)

"Is your job secure? Ours is not." (Sign in photograph)

Um... unless you're self-employed, your job is NOT "secure" in Idaho, regardless of your sexual orientation. We have "at will" employment, which means your employer can terminate you for any reason, or for no reason. You can also quite for any or no reason.

"We can't choose who we love." - Danny Morgan

What? We ALL choose who we love! Again, regardless of sexual orientation.

I'm not convinced that these folks are the victims they seem to think they are, at least based on those criteria. And I AM convinced that a lot of them won't be satisfied until the government mandates that we not only tolerate but embrace their various alternative lifestyles.

The public dialogue seems to be getting less civil all the time. I just hope those who are outraged by Limbaugh's statements aren't guilty of imposing a double standard. Were they equally outraged at the numerous horrible things that Sarah Palin has been called by various left-leaning "entertainers"? I would certainly hope so; otherwise one might get the impression that the outrage is motivated by politics.

Diddian, as a 5th-generation "Mormon," your comments warmed my heart. Thanks! May I always aspire to conduct myself in a way that will reflect positively on deeply-held beliefs.

(I might also mention that I'm lukewarm at best regarding Mr. Romney. I wish he was more dyed-in-the-wool conservative. He certainly won't get my vote just because our tastes in "underwear" are similar!)

Good job, Zerabp. Lots of folks don't seem to understand the distinction between "secret" and "sacred."

Henry Mancini is probably my #1; would DEFINITELY be on my top-ten list. But the list was good, and the commenters have supplied many additional names and flooded my head with awesome and memorable tunes.

When I was a kid, I was taught that men remove their hats when a prayer is uttered.

Last night the utterer kept his jaunty cap on, and as the camera panned across the fashionable attendees, there were many a jaunty beret or sideways baseball cap, perched atop those noggins.

(But how in the world could I expect THOSE people to know proper prayer etiquette?)

I only saw about 15-20 seconds of the live broadcast, shuddered, and flipped on to the next channel. (Those 15 seconds were almost certainly the "bad mickey mouse thing.")

It's ironic that "Liberal Hollywood" scoffs at the notion of marriage in general ... but gets militant because marriage isn't extended to the gay folks.
