My theory - Iowa's gay marriage caused swine flu
What is the connection between Iowa and flu? Lots of swine! When did the swine flu happen? Right on the eve of legalized gay marriage!
The fundies were right! I rest my case.

1. And gay marriage caused all the rain too
See, it's the fundy version of God punishing us for being a bunch of gay lovin' forward thinkers instead of a bunch of backwards redneck hillbillies.

I'd laugh but it won't be long before some nutjob seriously proposes a link between swine flu and teh gay marriage.

3. One of the dumb keyboard kommandos
in the Waterloo Courier did link the rain and gay marriage. It's only a matter of time before the wingnuts link it to swine flu.

9. There are some horrible comments there.
Either KMA960 doesn't care what is posted or they condone it.

Both are unacceptable.

Nor anything odd raining out of the sky, or any rampaging hoards of gerbils, beavers, etc running around now.
