There also is an effort to lionize her more than Mary Fielding Smith who endured a lot closer to the actual end.

If my thong recommended lady g bottoms is sported by Denise Richards playing Fanny Alger, I am so there for the Emma movie.

I never claimed that Navy owns Army's ass. Of course, I am stupid to not have claimed that.

Similar to Urban Meyer going away, so has the Paul Johnson reign of terror ended. Good luck with the Wramblin Wreck at Georgia Tech and godspeed PJ...signed a bitter and beaten down Army fan!

Many people tend to look at Emma's history post-Nauvoo as a big negative but I have the tendancy to look at it as fortuitous. I can easily imagine what a mess it would have caused if Emma HAD gone west. Her son would have always been in a position of controversy and the current norms of prophet succession might not be so straightforward. I for one am glad she stayed. It made life much easier for the church....in my opinion. We have no inheritance baggage. And, for her sake, she got out of the meat grinder.
