Love her or hate her, she's coming to San Fran!
Details
It will be the first pukebox musical.
San Fran? She's not exactly heading for the majority of her fanbase is she?
I despise her.

What kind of doctorate does she have again?

Dammit, her doctorate is in physiology, which is sufficiently sciencish that I can't mock her for putting the title in front of her name. Never mind. I'll let her words speak for themselves.
Someone needs to do a rebuttle show across the street.
First Rush Limbaugh, now Dr Laura?! Who's next, Dennis Miller?!, William F. Buckley?! Bill O' Reilly?!
a total waste of human organs

Dr. Laura in San Francisco? Why, that's almost as ridiculous as putting the Republican National Convention in New York City!
Oops.

I thought we ran her off! Guess it's up to our SF berethren to finish her off.
Why is she allowed to live?

Feast Day of Saint John Calvin, Priest (1564)
Dear Dr. Laura:
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's law. I
have learned a great deal from you, and I try to share that knowledge
with
as
many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual
lifestyle, for example, I simply remind him that Leviticus 18:22 clearly
states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice
from you, however, regarding some of the specific laws and how to best
follow
them.
When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a
pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They
claim the odor is not pleasing to them. How should I deal with this?
I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as it suggests in Exodus
21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for
her?
I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her
period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev. 15:19-24). The problem is, how
do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
Lev. 25:44 states that I may buy slaves from the nations that are around
us. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans but not
Canadians. Can you clarify?
I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2
clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill
him myself?
A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an
abomination (Lev. 10:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality.
I don't agree. Can you settle this?
Lev. 20:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a
defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my
vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?
I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you
can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal
and unchanging.
LOL I remember reading that a long time ago. Still classic.
Oh please. The whole bashing of Dr. Laura thing is so old and tired.

Are you kidding?
Kicking "Dr." Laura's teeth down her throat NEVER goes out of style!

Yeah. Way to teach love and tolerance by example.

Mamby-pampy "love and Tolerance" mewling accomplishes nothing in 2005, particularly with professional bigots and hate-mongers. Would you get all gooey if a White Supremacist or Nazi decided to host a little show?
If she wants to spew her garbage in San Francisco, then it should be a very real possibility that she might exit the auditorium on an ambulance stretcher.
Ditto Rush on Broadway.

And if anyone knows old and tired, it's MichaelBennett...
Ahhh, hostility is so good with my morning coffee.
And, could it possibly be any worse than "The Blonde in the Thunderbird?"
Yes, Somers isn't a hate mongerer.
Dr. Laura's 'show' is in Walnut Creek, a suburb about 40 miles east of San Francisco for 2 nights only later this month. It looks like it's 'sponsored' by the local right-wing talk station, KSFO. I put sponsored in quotation marks as they are asking an astonishing $100 top for tickets ($55 and $37 are also available for you paupers). Most touring B'way shows in San Francisco have a top price of around $90 so this is beyond the pale.
It seems that we may be seeing a wave of shows that attempt to appeal to the conservatives of the country--Dr. Laura and Rush are taking on the stage and there are new TV shows described as "politically incorrect", which seems to imply they might appeal to conservative views on women, gays, etc.
But, don't fret. Like Republican control of the government, this, too, shall pass. Soon.
