I thought I heard the braying of an ass.

And to think I suspected you had no idea about the way you sound. Go figure.

LOL

I'm just laughing that somebody uses Fox News as their[sic] source.

There are several "apostates" from Joe's religion here, and referring to me as the apostate isn't fair to them. I humbly suggest something along the lines of first among equal Mormon apostates.

Most of the words you use are bastardized versions of words from 500 years ago. There's no point in getting all high and mighty when the change happens in your lifetime.

Children these days...

No, I do not, hayseed.

I typically use his. In any event, I would rather use his or her than write like a hayseed. (Although, I can see why you would not care, as your degree is not worth the paper on which it is printed.)
