One more, then I'll shut up

I promise this will be the last IHOP-related blog entry on my site.

But I couldn't resist. I Googled "boycott IHOP." And got the following:
Results 1 - 10 of about 55,200 for boycott IHOP

Reading down the first few, I discovered the following:

Two lesbians were kicked out of an IHOP in Kansas City for giving each other a kiss in the restaurant.

An IHOP in Massachusetts required photo ID from one customer before they would SEAT him. (On a comment page related to this, one person wrote, "I'm surprised they are still in business. Perhaps customers should boycott IHOP for treating them like criminals.")

Someone on a MySpace page revealed a shocking discovery: "IHOP no longer serves waffles. I don't know if this is just the case with the one in Harvard Square, or with IHOPs everywhere. Nevertheless, this is bullshit and I won't stand for it. You're the International House Of Pancakes. Waffles are the tried and true brother of pancakes, standing side by side for countless years... and you've seen fit to sully that. I hate you and I wish you were dead."

OK. So I'm not alone in my disgust and hatred. I feel much better now.

Is it OK to own a Canadian?

In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, written by a U.S. resident, and posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative: Dear Dr. Laura: Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination ... End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them. 1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexic...

In memoriam...

I remember the first time I heard the name "Les Anderson." A bunch of Wichita State University communication majors were sitting around on campus, talking about classes they planned to take. Several people warned me: watch out for Les Anderson. He was tough. He had a murderous grading scale. It was nearly impossible to get an A. They weren't kidding. But he wasn't tough just to be a tyrant. From his teaching sprang a fleet of incredible, successful journalists, writers, editors, broadcasters, public relations experts, advertisers, non-profit professionals...I could go on and on. Most importantly, he created a legion of people who wanted to make a difference in the world. The greatest gift Les gave to them all? He believed in them, cared about them for their own personal stories as well as the stories they told for class assignments or in the pages of his hometown newspaper. Les was my teacher. My boss. My mentor. My conscience. My champion. My friend. When I started c...
