After all, these are cartoons that employ exaggeration, metaphor and fantasy to make their points. Strolls down the roads of literal history, they ain't.

in reality, I was drawing an F4. I should have known better, since my bro-in-law flew a recon version of it for the Air Force in Europe. (And, in fact, I have previously drawn him piloting the A4-E). But, hey, the F4 looks much cooler and, besides, McCain would rather be hotdogging with something that has more muscle.

. . . but, rather, about various formal names of the Mormon Church that it has been known by at various times throughout its history. (That said, of course, ETB did like singing in Mormon General Conference about male kids in the Mormon Church being “Mormon” boys. “A Latter-day Saint boy, a Latter-day Saint boy, I am a Latter-day Saint boy“ just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

“It’s Official: Mormon Founder Had Up to 40 Wives” by Laurie Goodstein New York Times 10 November 2014 “Mormon leaders have acknowledged for the first time that the Church’s founder and prophet, Joseph Smith, portrayed in Church materials as a loyal partner to his loving spouse Emma, took as many as 40 wives, some already married and one only 14 years old.” https://www.nyt

When I publicly blew the whistle on Oaks in 1993 for comfortably lying about his fellow Mormon hit-man Boyd K. Packer-orchestrated excommunication of Salt Lake author Paul Toscano, dastardly Dallin determined that I had failed in my then-LDS obligation to believe and follow non-folksy Oaksy as a high Mormon Church leader. Oaks expected me to cover for him after he blatantly lied in the open abo

Below is a link to an interesting article on science and astrology. Reading the entire article outlines the rationalist basis for the skeptical assessment of mainstream science on the question, but there are nonetheless some points made that may or may not suggest a possible link between scientific reality and astrological beliefs. The article concludes: “. . . aybe there is something to th
