I like ALL tax-chickadees better with hair =:o)
Without hair, they look like thugs, especially Frank and James with their pugnacious expressions and cinder-block-like heads. Pat and Vlad look deranged, with their giant, crazy eyes. (Want to know what’s really going in their heads? They’ll tell you!)
I just got my “Family Foundations” magazine from CCL, and I’m mad enough to spit.

I think he must be chanelling Kathleen Sibelius, because it’s the same mindset as the HHS’s: there’s something wrong with the normal functioning of a woman’s body, God screwed up when he made women, pregnancy is a disease, consequence-free sex is a legitimate ideal, everyone has limited their family so they have time to themselves in middle age, etc., etc. Basement Cat is *everywhere*, saying, “If only you were sterile like you’re supposed to be ...”
And I gave up wine for Lent. Honestly, I don’t think I really deserve this much penance ... I didn’t kill anyone or commit adultery or apostasize recently.
