Reverend Bob's pretty old school, and I like to make references to the old addage, "I like my women like I like my..." fairly often. Someone mentioned that I should write them down and share them, as some (not everything can be gold) are pretty funny in context.

The Church of Scientology and seven of its French leaders went on trial on Monday on charges of "organized fraud" that could lead to an outright ban on the organization in France. Known for its Hollywood celebrity followers Tom Cruise and John Travolta, the Church is in the dock in Paris for the second time in six years, although French courts have prosecuted several individual Scientologists since 1978.
Finally a war the French might win without allied forces....
The Paris court was hearing the complaint of a woman who alleges she was manipulated into handing over 20,000 euros (28,000 dollars) for costly Scientology products, such as an "electrometer" to measure mental energy. French defense lawyers argue that Scientology resorts to harassment and pressure to rein in victims who all show signs of vulnerability.

I can't hear it from over here. Wait! What does stereotypes have to do in the Sin of Lust, you ask? Well, what greater stereotype is there than when you look at someone and jump to conclusions about their sexual prowess, sexual endowment, or in this case, the way they choose to wear their pubes.
How many times have you seen some cute little nerdy girl, you know, the librarian type, and assumed that she probably doesn't know how to use a razor around her pussy? Or, worse, looked at that cute little Asian chick, and immediately decided that she has a super hairy snatch? That cute little bartender, mid twenties, and you just know she shaves that baby bald? Can You guess if the girl below has carpet that matches the drapes? Enter Vaginacology.com
05232009 This story had all the elements of true life drama. There was the tortured construction executive suicidally depressed after accruing almost 300,000 dollars in unrecompensable debt. There was the bridge that had a disturbing reputation having had 11 jumpers already and traffic backed up for five hours due to the police cordon around the possible jumper. Then there was one brave old man who, with altruism in his heart and sincere compassion went to try and help the situation.
He broke through the police lines, he ignored the warning that the man would jump... and then the suicidal exec responded to the old mans gesture. He stopped his would-be self-termination and there was a moment, a beautiful moment where the two locked eyes. A hand of friendship and hope was extended by the depressed and hopeless to reach out to the waiting hand of salvation and empathy. Then, as they locked palms, the old man pushed the stupid prick off the bridge so that the traffic could finally move again.

Pfizer, the worlds biggest drug pusher, has decided to supply over 70 of it's prescribed drugs for free to anyone who lost their jobs and health insurance since January 1st, this includes it's oh-so popular Viagra. They've said that anyone who has been on a pushed, er, I mean prescribed medicine for at least three months is eligible for the free dope for up to a year.
Rev Bob can appreciate the generosity that comes out of this. People using medically necessary medications will feel a little relief at that. But VIAGRA, REALLY? It's bad enough that we encourage the elderly and infirm to continue to have sex well after mother nature has told their bodies that they are done by shriveling the grapes and letting dust bunnies into the womb. I mean, there is, of course, reasoning for that on some sort of biological or cosmic level.

Governor John Lynch of New Hampshire is going to sign a bill legalizing gay marriage in New Hampshire. Lynch has openly said that he opposes gay marriage but stated:
New Hampshire's great tradition has always been to come down on the side of individual liberties and protections.
Of course, Lynch is waiting on some revisions to the bill that will better protect churches and their employees against lawsuits if their beliefs preclude them marrying gay couples.

This article was on the front page of Facebook. I thought W.R. Hearst was dead but apparently his filthy rotten zombie cock has reached out from the grave to stick itself up America's ass one more time. Who are the idiots who write this crap that is so obviously slanted all the way to the right? I am a conservative but still do not believe that lying to the people to keep them in fear is right when there really is no danger. Marijuana is not dangerous. I have never heard of one, make that ONE case of recorded marijuana overdose in my 34 years on this Earth and I never will. If cocaine or heroine have potency increases it could kill the users, they are potent drugs with significant effects on the user at very low dosages. Marijuana potency increases may result in an increased desire to eat twinkies and a nagging belief in conspiracy theories about cheese manufacturing processes. How harmful is that to the fabric of society?
The stronger marijuana is of particular concern because high concentrations of THC have the opposite effect of low concentrations, officials say.
The effect of Marijuana is not deliterious or damaging even at relatively high levels of use and very high dosages. When compared to the effects of alcohol at similar dosages it is just plain harmless. How many hippies do you know that have plowed into a family of five at 80 miles an hour because they took one too many bong tokes? You can't even drive 20 when your high without freaking out. It's a stupid argument.

GM (General Motors) has been order by the US Government to shut down 3000 dealerships in an effort to cut costs after their most recent filing of bankruptcy. More than 100 members from the National Automobile Dealers Association, a group representing the country's 20,000 new car dealers, met members of the House of Representatives and Senate in Washington on Wednesday, asking them to intervene with the Obama administration's autos task force on planned reductions.
"A rapid cut of dealers is a bad idea," NADA Chairman John McEleney said in a statement.
Rev Bob would say that cutting out some of the dealerships is, not only, a good thing, but also only the beginning. If you want to cut right through the bullshit, the problem with American automobile manufacturers is the way in which they are allowed to run their business, almost as though they are their own third world nations. They are almost entirely dictated to by the UAW (United Auto Workers) and their ever increasing and often unreasonable demands. The UAW is single-handedly responsible for the overpriced, poor quality cars that these American manufacturers crank out in excessive amounts day after day.

I've sent this tirade to the Birmingham News a few times and it has yet to be printed, so, I thought I'd drop it in here, just for s$&ts and grins.
The title of this note happens to be the official motto of the State of Alabama. According to an article in the Birmingham News-Age Herald, dated April 23, 1939, then director of the state Archives, Marie Bankhead Owen, came upon the idea while searching for "a phrase that would interpret the spirit of our peoples in a terse and energetic sentence." . What a shame with the passing of a scant 70 years, the people of Alabama, and I'm certain in many other parts of the Country, have forgotten just what it means to protect OUR rights, the rights of THE PEOPLE of Alabama, not CERTAIN people in Alabama.
