I figured you'd know that. Since I'm conservative, it's a foregone conclusion that I'm sexist and racist. I might as well be a religious bigot too.

:) Hehe!

I don't know why I was surprised, then! ;o) You're just following the normal pattern of behavior!

We'll know when Ash Wednesday arrives.

John Kerry will magically return to Washington from one of his mansions, or trips to France, so we can see the ash marks on his forehead.

Yep. Kerry will get his ashes and he'll stroll out to the first reporter he sees.

Good point, YaYa!

Nope. I don't need the flame retardant suit, but thanks for the offer, cgk.

Most people around here not I'm full of it anyway.

It is an old Freeper tradition to ignore a thread when asked to ignore it.

I am dutifully ignoring this thread. ;)

Sorry about that.

Got a jump on Friday already. I just got back from having fish and chips for dinner at our local Irish pub. Figured I'll get "warmed up" for Lent!
