Is this for real? I can't find the a link to the AP story, even at the AP website.

2. Turkeys for Kerry!

It is satire. It said so in the by-line. I didn't see it when I first read it and my jaw was on the ground. When I reexamined the article, I saw the word "satire." Isn't it scary that a piece of satire like that could be thought to be real?! Sad times we live in, but HOPE IS ON THE WAY!

Brightest Blessings!

3. I didn't catch the satire at first either & about hit the ceiling . . .

with the part about encouraging children to note which neighbors don't go to church!

4. that scared me too!

That part alarmed me too! I was saying out loud to myself, "this can't be real!" "This has to be a joke." I was relieved, in some respects, to find it was satire. The reason I only had partial relief is because that the possibility of this being real do exist! Trust me, I was prepared to set the VCRs in the house to tape Saturday morning TV. If this had been true, I was ready to launch a letter campaign against any station showing it.

I said it once, but it bears restating...it is sad that something like this article would even be believed! Our country is in real trouble.
