Seasons

It's not just Clinton, Ulrike. Around election time, every president, and even some presidential candidates, negotiate with aliens. Why, I don't know, since the aliens can't vote.

Maybe the aliens have mind-control rays to force people to vote one way or the other, only now there are two rival factions of aliens vying for control and they're about equally matched which is why the past two elections have been so close and I really need to stop and gasp for breath about here. *gasps!*

You mean cathode ray tubes actually shoot alien mind control rays?

I was thinking more along the lines of things planted on the power lines, but cathode ray tubes work, too. Maybe that's why reality TV suddenly got so popular! There are subliminal alien messages on those shows!

On some of them, I'm not sure about the subliminal part.

To be honest, I've never watched them enough to decide. The first I heard about Survivor was when it appeared on the cover of Time as a "phenomenon sweeping the country." I looked at it and said, "Huh? What's Survivor?"

www.newzoid.com plays around with headlines

I just mean they're so weird that any message must be alien.

What? How can something called "Reality TV" be weird???

Prof: that would be totally doable, it'd just fit in the multi-part plugins section

The Marriage Discussion continues here!

Christianity did not invent marriage. The earliest evidence dates marriage back to roughly 2350 B.C. And if Patricia's information is correct, this modern definition of marriage and its connection to religion is a relatively new one.

Shady: If you're religious and think that marriage is a holy sacrament that's only meant to be between a man and a woman, you're always free to have the opinion that other kinds of marriage are invalid in the eyes of God.
