Family Knows Best

Thank God we’ve got the Family Research Council to keep us safe.

While the rest of us are busy contemplating the dangers posed by Al Qaeda, the war in Iraq, global warming and the current hurricane season, the Family Research Council recently took out full-page newspaper ads urging the Justice Department and FBI to investigate WHAT?


A. Homosexuals working for outside contractors of the Pentagon in a possible violation of the “don’t ask/don’t tell” policy
B. Minors traveling across state lines to purchase the Plan B “morning after pill” without telling their parents first
C. Privately-funded stem cell research at Harvard University
D. Pay-per-view porn in the nation’s hotel chains



ANSWER
1) D: Pay-per-view porn in the nation’s hotels, which the group believes violate federal and state obscenity laws.
