Remember Fred Phelps and his lot, people? I'm sure you do. So you already know your blood pressure is about to rise, I'm sure. (Got link from [livejournal.com profile] aelie_baby. Thanks.)

The controversial anti-homosexual Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan., has canceled its plans to stage a protest at the funerals of the five Amish girls executed in their Pennsylvania school, a church official said Wednesday.
Shirley Phelps-Roper, the daughter of church's pastor, told FOXNews.com the group canceled the protests in exchange for an hour of radio time Thursday on syndicated talk-show host Mike Gallagher's radio program.


Oh SWIMMINGLY. So, for this lot of chaaaaaaarming people not to behave like batshit pond-scum with the tact and grace of bee-stung ogres, they get to spew their hateful shit for an hour on some US national radio?

I demand an hour on that show for homosexuals, Swedes, Amish, soldiers and anyone else the "church" might have insulted so they can talk about what a small dick Fred Phelps has and what his obsession with semen might entail nudge nudge wink wink.

Fair's fair, after all.

Jooooooy. Well, I'll see what I can do. Can't say I've got a lot of good karma, though. Dunno what I can finagle, but I'll definitely try.

You think if we sprayed Weed-B-Gone on him he'd wither and die?

He's probably of that nasty weed kind that never dies unless you yank it up by the roots and soak it in lye.

Ew. He's like crabgrass - you just can't be rid of types like him.

I was thinking of Dandelion, but you're right - he's nastier.

Much more so.

Hmm. Aren't there thorny weeds that seriously suck? I forget what they're called. Dandelions can be a bitch, though. I had to press them for bio three years ago? No wonder they keep coming back - they're a tuber!

You're thinking of thistles. I've had the thorns from those suckers go through heavy-duty leather construction gloves.

... describes Phelps, really. A royal pain in the mikta.

Thistles? Really? As in, "Jesus and his crown of"? Because if so, that's oddly appropos.

no... that was just thorns. Like bramble or blackberry bushes. Thistles have been known to grow 7 feet high. And are brutal on your hands when you're tying to pull them out of the ground. There was one me and my friends were trying to pull out for a volunteer landscaping job we were doing at the local Red Cross building, and it took five of us to pull it free. The root system was three feet long.

Oh.

Yikes! That's just awful. *makes face*

They are a big pain to get rid of. Some parts of the USA are so infested that the only way to deal with them is to burn the field, turn the soil up with a tiller to expose the roots, and burn the field again.

Try holy water. Might work better.

That's pretty much the image, yeah.
