BRUCE A. BRENNAN BLOG FROM THE WORLD AND MY MIND
The news as I see it and the views as I want them.
July 12 is … National Pecan Pie Day
Do you say Peecon or Pican? I say Peecon myself, it just sounds more southern.
On July 12th in 1914 Babe Ruth makes his baseball debut, pitches for the Red Sox.
The Westboro Baptist Church out of Topeka, Kansas, which is reportedly run by a gay pedophile is taking on Betty Ford. What a bunch of inbreeding lunatics. The anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church has announced plans to picket this week's funeral services for former first lady Betty Ford in California and Michigan.
The website of the Topeka, Kansas-based church said the fringe group will demonstrate at Ford's funerals because she divorced her first husband William Warren prior to marrying the late president Gerald R. Ford. In Westboro's eyes, that makes Ford an adulterer who "loved to sit with tawdry reporters and blather about sex." In my eyes this makes all members of this church prime murder targets.
The group plans to picket at services at Saint Margaret Episcopal Church in Palm Desert, Calif. on Tuesday (July 12) and at Grace Episcopal Church in East Grand Rapids on Thursday when her casket will travel by motorcade for burial at the Ford Museum.
The extremist church -- mostly a collection of Fred Phelps' extended family and friends -- formally won the right to picket funerals in March after an 8-1 Supreme Court decision ruled it is protected by the First Amendment. "She couldn't wait to have an audience with a reporter to titter about premarital sex, and how much she loved to teach it to her daughters," the church's website said. "The trashy reporters encouraged her to say more! So she urged all the women of this doomed foul nation to engage in extramarital sex. Then she pushed for abortion, because when you teach a nation's women to be whores, it's inevitable pregnancies will inconvenience the selfish strumpets! That is the legacy of Betty Ford."
Therefore, all the woman members of this church are whores. That is what you get by applying their reasoning. Why don’t we all meet at this church and have an orgy, the head minister can demonstrate for us on both sexes of all ages.

Not a bad list of famous and influential people from the Land of Lincoln; Abe was not even born in Illinois so he did not make the list.
Just a couple of thoughts I had.
