    This is Dan from thetheologianscafe.  I am guest posting for seedsower tonight.  I was supposed to type this in earlier but I was hit by the mighty ice storm.

    I have been noticing something that I want to pass on to the rest of you.  I think the casual observer will miss this if they are not careful.

    I first noticed it with a pastor in the news.  Ted Haggard was a pastor of a mega-church.  He spoke against gay marriage and was a leader in the fight to have marriage defined as being between a man and a woman.


    We later found out that Ted Haggard was getting "special massages" from a gay fitness trainer.

    That caused me to watch other leaders a little more carefully.  I started to watch President Bush.
    Something didn't seem right.  He was in favor of defining marriage between a man and a woman.

    Even the Pope didn't seem right.  I got the sense that something was going on.  He didn't want gay priest.

    Pope Benedict and Patriarch Bartholomew exchange the kiss of peace

    Are our leaders all closet gays?

  • It is the best kept secret...or was, until you said something.

  • Interesting!

  • Very un-Beth like post...but damn funny Dan. I just can't get over the size of that stupid hat the guy is wearing in the last pic! I mean, if THAT isn't gay, then I don't know what is! "Special Messages"<== you mean millions of tiny e-mails?

  • Or would that be "A-mails?"

  • Haha!  Love those pictures!

    Kathi

  • weird!!!!!

  • Not anymore! haha

  • This particular pope has a reputation for being gay and has had a sexuall affair with a man. It is a secret. but when you look at him closely and partilarly his hand movements..totally gay

    In terms of Bush being gay...Nope...nada...doesn't have a gay bone in his body, and as a gay man I thankfully am relieved then the hetersexual world keep him we have enough problems....his holding the saudi prince's hand is simply a gensture from the saudi cutlure. If you go to Egypt or Syria they do the same or it is quite common.

    Don't let it fool you thought...as dangerous as it is to be a homosexual in those countries because they face emprisonement and even death, there are a lot of gay men that take advantage of being close with other men.

  • Haggard being gay was a total shocker...no one expected it.

    We all expected Tom Cruise or John Trovolta to come out....but Haggard caught us off guard

  • Ugh... ANg

  • I love dan!! =) hehe.
    Not all, but some... I'm sure.

  • Nah.

  • o gosh dan, you're sarcasm isn't even limited to your own xanga...

    what is this world coming to?

  • Hey, Dan.. did Beth approve this question? And I am a little offended since you sent Beth to kiss my aunt on the cheek and shake Brad's hand! Me & the kids got NOTHING! *boo hoo*

  • probably.

  • Glad I got to meet ya too Beth, after the hoopla calms down for ya, we can get together....glad I came, that was nice there.....and to believe Ive been in this part 20 yrs and never saw that before....

  • I think the picture of you & LuLu is the cutest picture EVER!

  • I love the picture of you and LuLu too!!  It's priceless!!  I had the most wonderful time tonight!!  It was so great getting to meet you in person.  You are just as awesome and funny in person as you are on your Xanga!!  I can't wait to taste the applesauce .. and as for your relish ... omg .. to die for!!!  Your greenhouse is amazing ... I NEVER expected anything like it!!!  Thanks for all your hospitality .. I was hoping Brad posted his pictures, but he's having a crisis over lost keys!!  I really didn't get many pictures, and I don't like the ones I have .. so I'm anxious to see your pictures!!!  Thanks again for a great time ... it was so nice to meet you ... hopefully it won't be another year until we meet again!! Alicia

  • OK Im confused.  Oh , well.. whats new?

  • Lalala just waiting on Brad AND your pictures too, lady! I had agreat time visiting with you! Where were the others, like suzea, was she there??

  • Hey I heard you got to meet up with some Xanga pals tonight!   Isn't that fun!

  • Great post and pics Dan. How long did it take you to find those?

    Have a great day to both of you

  • oh my god.. way to steal a blog lol.. .good post dan the man!!

  • Its Dan now, is it?

    Is that you over in the corner with duct tape over your mouth? What would Andy Warhol think of that? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ....

  • I guess only God knows what goes on behind closed doors!  I do agree that some of those outfits the pope and his homies wear are pretty funky! LOL! There seems to be a pattern that what we yell and preach against the loudest, is sometimes the thing we ourselves may have our own private struggles with. I feel one reason God asks us to pray for our leaders is because they are targets the enemy would very much like to discredit and destroy.... especially if they stand for righteousness. The more influence a person has, the greater the pressure on their lives to fall into some kind of sin. We are none of us perfect, by any means!
     
    Thanks for warholizing me! I loved that! LOL! Do you get a break on Saturdays from making wreaths?

  • they are all closeted together for world domination. Gay? That would just be a friendly way of saying hello...

  • Hmmmm...interesting. Kind of changes how we are going to look at everyone from now on.
    Also..Beth and everyone...I am SO SORRY I missed out on the great time. I am coming for sure today or Monday...so save me some saurkraut..okay??? please?

  • who knows, but i'm not about to judge anyone...

    what's become of beth today?

  • I would like to thank Dan for posting for me!!

  • How great it was for you getting the chance to meet some wonderful xanga peeps. Interesting post from Dan too. 

  • Good morning! I am off too!

  • Now that I think about it, i have never seen the Pope in the company of a woman. Makes me wonder?

  • haha., who knew dan was such a trouble-maker?

  • Also, there was the young girl (I think she was working drinks or something at your show), who came by to say, hi, and then had to go back to work... I think she has a Xanga too. Just want to make sure everyone was mentioned.

    I had a great time... Thank you, Beth! You're a stellar hostess!

  • P.S. Is Dan in the closet?

  • maybe ted haggard,

    but i doubt the others

  • Ha ha.  That would explain why Bush is so "homophobic".  IF ONLY it was all a cover-up. . .

  • thanks for your visit and you can come and visit my site any time love to all shelly.

  • Although this is a "clever" post I think it is in poor taste to imply the leader of our country and the leader of the Catholic church - for the sake of humor.

  • Hi!  It was very nice meeting you and the other Xangans.  The pointesettias were beautiful.  Never saw so many at the same place.  You have quite a layout there.  It certainly keeps one busy.  Guess you will be glad when the Christmas rush is over and you can take a few minutes to relax.  I hope we can get together again some time.  Take care.      Debbie

  • I LOVE YOUR APPLESAUCE, it's sooooooooooo good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I'm with dancingqueenjanine on this one. Poorly done, Dan.

  • Dang, was the pope frenching that guy?0_0

  • I admit, it is hard to share my opinion. Meh.

    Glad you liked the pic =)

  • The bikes photo reminds me of Holland also.. and Denmark..  They are quite a recent novelty in Ireland.  But more and more people are cycling and thats a good thing.

  • I wouldn't really give a flying bleep if our world leaders were gay, or not . . . what they do with or to their bodies or lives don't really concern me . . . it's what they do to ours that concerns me greatly.

    So . . . when are we going to see pictures of the the show?  I'm so looking forward to it.

    ryc . . . thank you for keeping an out for/on me you're such a sweetheart . . . been busy catching up at work and at times reluctant to bring the work laptop home anymore for fear of it being stolen too/again . . . I suppose I'm still l wee bit spooked and am still being a bit extra careful . . . time'll heal and I'll be careless again soon, no doubt. 
    So, someone else is enjoying the bouncing boobies too?  They do bring pleasure to the (Xanga) world, don't they?  I've been debating bringing them back.  I just might soon.
    I can't claim ownership, since I "borrowed" from another Internet site (not Xanga, tho; I wouldn't do that to a fellow Xangan).
    I use'm only on your and RdKingClassic03's sites, cuz you two have great appreciation for'm.  Oh, MojadoGringo too!
    The joy must be shared, and if it means sharing the boobies; so be it.  hehehe hehe

  • Hi Beth!!!  I just can't stop thinking about the wonderful time I had last night.  I barely get out, so it was nice to actually DO something for a change!!  Your greenhouse is spectacular and I never saw so many poinsettias in my whole life!!!  It was a great event and I'm so glad I had a chance to meet you and some fellow Xangaholics!!  I ate some applesauce, and OMG .. yes, it was definitely the best I ever tasted!!!  Thank you so much for that!!! 

    I posted about last night ... stop over and see it when you are less busy .. I know things are crazy there!!  I was hoping you would post some pictures, since I only had a few and mine weren't that great. 

    Thanks again for the enjoyable evening!!  So nice to have met you .. I hope to see you again .. probably next year at the Poinsettia show, if not before.  (We'll have to make this an annual event!!)

    Hope your Saturday was productive and fun.
    Hugs, Tricia

  • What a great time you guys had! That is so awesome!

  • well, you know what will happen if you ask Queen Tude, Donkey, Al_son, and me to guest post for you!!!

  • FIRST, i would have to get out of this barrel!!!!

  • Hi . . .

    Hmmmm . . . I'll have to think about that/

    Sounds like you shows are going very well. Have a good rest tomorrow.

  • Hi!  You sound terribly busy!  Hope you can get some rest in amongst it all.  Have fun!

  • Hey Beth hope your weekend was wonderful and your having a fantastic Sunday!! :)

  • Oh wow!!  Wonderful that you got to meet many Xanga friends!!  Sounds like you had a great evening!!  Get some rest girly!!  Have a great weekend!!  Love ya!!!

  • I am contacting all of the members of the Den of Fools....A cry for help has been issued by spazmom40.  Seems she has gotten herself in a pickle....actually it is a barrel and she can't get out.  Can you offer any suggestions how to help her?

    Maybe if you ever get out from under the evergreens you can come up with something!!

  • *rolls in spaz*

    looky here! i have spaz in a barrel!!!!

    common! take a turn!

    Roll her!!! Roll her!!!

  • Its great you were able to have a xanga meet, strangely I don't think many around the Tacoma Wa do xanga. I live in a myspace hell.

  • RYC: Thank you, Beth. All I have the energy to do is think about things.

  • Hey! Have you seen Spazzz roll by??? I tried to kick open her barrel but it just rolled down the hill and out of sight! Where did she go??

  • It sounds like your show and xanga meet went well.  Hope you have a good week and can get a little rest.  I loved this post, btw.  Very interesting. 

  • ryc: It's only a flesh wound!

  • Yesterday Sunday , I was unable to download your site . Probably my computer is too old and not powerful enough since you add the voice recorder .
    Well I wanted to say I was glad about the big success of your Poinsettia show .. And also I wanted to write that yesterday was my wife ' s birthday and guess what plant I bought for her ? ........a Poinsettia !!!! It is her favorite .
    I hope now all of things don' t block when I am going to submit .

    Love    Michel

  • that's funny! I don't remember this one. (But I am not going to scour it for a comment from me either.)

  • OMGosh!!!
