Jesus would have set the octagon up and let them brawl MMA.

*hides*

He said the bad album.

*hopes Bro don't see this!*







Okay, fer reals....well, that is their belief, so why not advertise it?

But I do agree with the man who said that if we each define what is good, well, there is going to be chaos. Seems to me it isn't going to work if we are all choosing what is good for ourselves. Without some standard, well, my good is your bad and all the trouble that brings.

funny you should ask...

Forty years ago, somebody who posted something like that would get a
boot in their ass.

I saw this on the local news last night and knew it was just a matter of
time before the SP's (secular-progressives) made a move on this.

They've been attacking Christmas for years. And don't be fooled:

It's a blatant attack on CHRISTMAS.

Well, we still believe in God, and we still say CHRISTMAS too.

They'd better take that anti-Christmas crap back to San Francisco, but on
the other hand, they paid their money to advertise like everyone else.

This is becoming one wigged out world we live in. :roll:

GLENN BECK GOES TO FOX NEWS CHANNEL

Oh boy, you think he may have seen the light?

Anyway, it's a powerful acquisition by Fox.

Congrats for a win-win situation to all parties involved. :)

(Except CNN. Soooorry.) :razz:

I saw Beck on O'Reilly a couple of nights ago when O'Reilly welcomed
him with open arms. Beck commented about some negative things
regarding President Bush.

Beck claimed Bush "sold out" on some issues during his tenure.

(No argument here.)

O'Reilly asked Beck to name one "sellout" of Bush's, and Beck said:

"The border."

Good answer. Bush DID sell out on the border.

Beck's gonna rock on Fox.

Say goodbye to the CNN you were used to.

Beck's move should just about put Jane Fonda, Ted Turner and CNN News
down the tubes for good.

****VIRUS ALERT****

The newest virus circulating is the "UPS Delivery Failure" virus.

You will receive an email from UPS Packet Service along with a packet
number.

NOTE: The word "PACKET" is misspelled on this line.

It will say that they were un-able to deliver a package sent to you on
such and such a date.

It then asks you to print out the invoice copy attached.

DON'T TRY TO PRINT THIS. IT LAUNCHES THE VIRUS!

Pass this warning on to all your PC operators at work and home.


This virus has caused Millions of dollars in damage in the past few days.

Snopes confirms that it is real:

Director Goes On Leave Amid Probe Of Ohio Plumber

http://www.newsnet5.com/politics/17937887/detail.html

It's hard to believe that this woman is on PAID LEAVE - just like a cop that
killed in the line of duty - after destroying Joe's name and reputation.

A few outcomes pop up in my mind:

Maybe Joe will have his day in court.

Maybe not.

Maybe Mrs. Jones-Kelly will go to jail.

Maybe not.

Maybe she will get a PROMOTION.

Now THERE'S a concept.

Nothing is surprising about this anymore.

I'm thinking promotion.

No reason why the "Peter Principle" would not apply here.

To be truthful though, she's just the patsy.

The dirty deed goes waaay over her head.

There may be some more names named after Mrs. Jones-Kelly rolls over.

Al Franken perhaps? Just kidding folks. He's got his own problems. :roll:

That remains to be seen, but the bottom line is that we hope that Joe gets
some justice.

I doubt we'll hear much about this. Most of the populace has moved on, since it "doesn't affect" them.

Truthfully, I've moved on too. But Joe hasn't.

He's still trying to save his good name. What's left of it.

I just think it's wrong to have this woman on paid leave.

There's no - how do I put this - accountability?

That's what I meant.

I'm finished. Nite nite. :-D

My guess is that Joe, besides having his back taxes paid for him, has been enriched monetarily by his experience. Not only that, I'll bet that his sudden star status made him more popular with the ladies than ever before. And there is some talk of a deal with The Hair Club For Men. :-D

So I'm sure he'll be just fine.

Thinks of the lyrics and shudders.

Ummmmmm...why can't we all just move on as By-torians. If the nation would disagree and yet love as we do....*smiles and dreams*

Yeah, you can say I am a dreamer.
