You're soaking in it

[sigma7]

Because with a million Americans in poverty, our educational infrastructure in gross disrepair and an extended military campaign overseas, the real burning issue of our times is a talking quasi-anthropomorphic sponge spreading the radical idea that maybe hate's not a great thing, for God's sake. But hey, it brings us a particular nugget of insight courtesy of dragonscholar:

A "homosexuality detection expert" at the similarly conservative Family Research Council told the NY Times that words like "tolerance" and "diversity" are part of a "coded language that is regularly used by the homosexual community."

First, "tolerance" and "diversity" are code-words? So are such silly ideas as "love" and "understanding," I guess. Jesus, so "tolerance" isn't even an acceptable concept anymore, it just equates to the homosexual community? What? (No, seriously, you do know there's another testament, don't you? Or do you just quit reading when you get to the first part you like?)

But more importantly, where do you get a degree for a career in the groundbreaking field of "homosexuality detection expert" anyhow? Is this something MIT's been working on with covert government funding? Is there a special over-the-horizon gaydar array?

"And that's when Captain Swish met his arch enemy, Professor G, in a cold and very small laboratory. The professor, infamous in certain circles, survives on funding from a conservative quasireligious political group, and he is quite serious about his research. In fact, he spends all his grant money on various devices designed to extend scientific scanning range -- and so little on his own needs as a researcher that he works literally in a closet. One thing is for sure. Professor G has Gaydar. And he uses it for evil."
