Not since 2006. It's called clean and rehab.

I think there was no objection to baking the cake or having a gay couple eat it, the objection was to the icing which would indicate that it was for a gay couple.


Watched a lengthy interview of him. They don't sell to gay weddings. Period. They don't make adult cakes. And they make nothing for Hallowe'en. All due to their Christian faith and what the Bible says.

He thinks his cakes are a gift, and wants a say in who eats them and why. The way he talked, it wasn't just the custom orders, and the gays who sued him weren't the first ones he'd turned down because he disapproved of the customers.

So, not exactly what was said above. Think it was CBS from 2014, when it first got some attention, if anybody wants to google it.
Never doubt a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; it's the only thing ever has

Well, I think its stupid to think that kids going house to house in the quest for candy are engaging in some pagan witchcraft but if some killjoy wants to padlock his gate that night he can. When I was in Boston eons ago young girls in their twenties still went trick or treating, including those who got all "tarted up" and equipped with over sized cigarette holders and fox boas bestowed kisses in return for their candy.

Anyway, the decision was based largely on the administrative agency's obvious bias and did not reach a ruling on the merits.

I always remember that woman who staggered into a convenience store whose staff denied her a bottle of water and called the police because they thought she was a druggie who had been beaten up by her boyfriend. The responding cop recognized her as the sole survivor of a plane crash who had just traversed dozens of miles of very rugged country while barefoot. He got her a bottle of water and carried her to his car.

He is a good example on that, how anyone can get hooked because of extreme pain. He got off because he was not doing it for recreation. Have to wonder if Trump would put guys like Rush and Favre to use fighting this problem.
The President is a fink.

Let's talk about something more important -- Miss America Ends Swimsuit Competition, Aiming to Evolve in ‘This Cultural Revolution’. I have to say I oppose this. That was my second favorite part of the competition, after the interview portion.
