In my signature, I had put the following:
Tired: Pedophile Priests
Wired: Pedophile Congressmen

suggesting that pedophile priests were out of vogue and had been replaced in the public mind with the sexual predator Mark Foley who just happens to be a member of the House of Representatives representing Florida's 16th district.

Of course something like that is politically charged and may cause someone who was abused by a priest to feel their trauma is being minimized.

P.S. The tomatoes are doing pretty well. I have 18 plants and have fruit set on 2 of them. Hopefully fall weather doesn't take too much flavor away. Since I last posted in the Garden forum, I have added 2 new garden beds and rebuilt 2 others. The Beans, Cucumbers, and Carrots are doing well too. Next thing to plant is Brussels Sprouts, Cauliflower, and Broccoli.
