If you would, please take a moment from your celebration of the 60th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and reflect on the name of the B29 plane responsible for dropping the bomb: the Enola Gay. Because we gays are about to be blamed yet again for Hiroshima, let us remember that the Enola Gay was named after the pilot of the plane's mother, Miss Enola Gay Tibbets. Of course, naming the plane the Enola Tibbets would have been UNHEARD OF, and thus we get to, besides being blamed for the death of Christ, the Inquisition, and Mardi Gras, have this incident strung up on our vast clothesline of antagonism. Well, we'd like to formally introduce into Congress a bill to have the name "Enola Gay" changed to "Enola Tibbets," thus finally ending the years of suffering gays and their families have had to endure because of the bombing of Hiroshima.
