I ain't expecting a response from Parker any time in the near future. The one time she actually did post, she just said that she was surprised at the amount of traffic and the number of posts from atheists.

Well, at least it went for a good use.

Help yourself. I stole (paraphrased) it in the first place, I think from Ingersoll IIRC...

Did he get a Darwin Award? He should have.

I'm happy to see you liked my quote, James.
If anyone hasn't been to the Kathleen Parker Atheist Message Board in a while, you are missing out on more of her articles as seen in Jewish World Review.
I have posted a link to the site and her articles.
There is one article where she calls Canadians "stupid".

Why that's just not acceptable! She should have kept it at "beer guzzling cheese heads"

No, no, no, no! Those are Packers fans. The correct terminology for Canadians is "beer guzzling ice hockey fans".

True to predictions Ms. Parker has shut down her board. Apparently, she is unhappy with foul language.

You mean, foul language other than her own?
