The Blame Game: We Are All Gannon

[CindyDale]

every time we buy Chevron gas and moan about the war.

Gannon could be a message to us from the Lord, similar to the marriage of the prophet Hosea to the prostitute Gomer (though Gomer was a woman).

Added on edit:

Gannon was a gay prostitute who contributed to anti-gay propaganda.

Many of us are anti-war but contribute by purchasing the products.

The Lord sent a message to the people via marriage to a prostitute as an analogy to the state of the nation. In his eyes, they were all hooking.

Get it now? Sorry if that was unclear; it's early.

1. Huh?

2. That

was my first reaction, too.

:confused:

3. Please Step Away From the Weed

I repeat, step AWAY from the weed.

4. Are you saying...

That Gomer was cross-dressing? Link please?

5. could you give us more to go on here

:shrug:

6. I don't think so.

Hosea was, of course, consider a "minor prophet" a.k.a. the "prophet of Divine Law." I think that Gannon may be closer to Gomer Pyle, and President Bush might be his cousin Goober.

7. Goober Gomer Gobba Gobba Hey

Wheee! Let's all not make sense!

8. Well, when you consider

that it is said of elk feathers as it is said of eyes in oak waters: a rein of egg could summon the tortise from its shell. Remember this when you buy bottled milk at any 7-11.

9. Finally, some clarity on this important topic---thank you.

[GiovanniC]

11. Oh... NOW I Get It

Gentle porpoise fingers waving sharply on a frigid sandstorm. Lost luggage baggage claim check attendants dance merrily.

[H2O Man]

13. That's more like it.

Now fall in and count of by ones.

[WilliamPitt]

18. Um...

[Career Prole]

15. Hosea needs to do something

to increase his prophet margin, then...or be subject to closure.
That pales in comparison with Gomer in petticoats, though.
I'd have never guessed!
:wow:

[devilgrrl]

10. wtf are talking about?

Isn't it awfully early to be drinking?

[CindyDale]

14. Too early to be thinking, I guess

16. We're teasing you.

It's Presidents' Day, and you wrote the best "Please,Tease Me" post. Hum old Beatle songs backwards as an antidote.

At this point, there is not enough evidence to conclude that Gannon was a gay prostitute. The only thing the public "knows" about his background is what he posted on web sites. The fact that a week after he became a focus of the media, and so little is actually known about him, might indicate that he was not a mere hooker.

[CindyDale]

17. There is no evidence that Gomer was a prostitute, either.

Some interpreters have said that the Lord would not have allowed Hosea to marry a woman who should have been stoned to death.

Actually, it is funny, but it's also not funny in that no one seems to want to talk about their part in this war.

[H2O Man]

19. Perhaps you

might start by identifying what war, and then explaining your part in it. I think that you might lose people's interest when you start with an example that identifies a person's sexuality as cause to stone them to death.

[CindyDale]

20. You might start by reading the original post

It's about the Iraq War and buying gas. It's pretty clear actually.

We support the war when we buy from companies who profit from the war. Get it?

This example doesn't identify a person's sexuality as cause to stone them to death. What on earth are you talking about?

Hosea doesn't even contain anything about stoning anyone to death.

I lose people's interest when I point out that we have responsibility.
