18. Bingo!
I may believe in him/her yet if this kind of thing keeps up.

This joker should be in jail already. I don't get how he can still go all over the place spouting his vile mouth off.

6. Isn't that what Jim Baker & Tammy were weeping,
once the legal noose tightened?

I used to know people who talk like that: taking no responsibility, expressing no contrition, insisting the "Lord" will forgive them no matter what.

It really makes me sick. Didn't someone write of religion being the last refuge of a scoundrel? Or was that patriotism?

59. I just posted that before I saw your note.
Originally the saying was "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel."

Obviously, religion comes into play when even patriotism doesn't work. It's the absolute dead-last final refuge of a scoundrel (and often with the Religious Right, also the first, second, etc.)

9. Is he going to a real jail, or a luxury jail? That is the real question.
Edited on Thu May-25-06 03:02 PM by lindisfarne
Is he going to have to worry about all aspects of jail culture that others, put in jail for minor drug offenses which have harmed a tiny fraction of the lives that Lay has harmed?

It's not enough for them to go to jail; they need to end up in the same kind of jail the majority of criminals end up in.

30. Haven't gotten it yet, have you, Asshole?
God hates you and is directing the events that will send you to your living hell. Then after you die a slow painful death you will go to your private preserve in hell to have your flesh and soul rendered for eternity.

Got it now, Asshole?

32. Christianity: The religion of convenience for lying thieves.
I wasn't really surprised to hear what Kenny Boy said, but I am disgusted. If you're going to call yourself a Christian (or identify yourself as a person of any faith), you gotta walk the walk, not just talk the talk, AND not just when it suits you. Kenny Boy, you are NO Christian.

Greg Palast said on AAR that Ken would NEVER name names or he'd be gone.
Hmmm??? Would he have a plane crash on the way to club fed or just have a brain bubble like Casey?

60. I tuned in during Lay's homily about the Lord.
I honestly thought it was one of those TV preachers and wondered what news story he could possibly be involved in. I could hardly believe it when the announcer said that the pious preacher I had been listening to was actually convicted felon Ken Lay!

Right-wingers certainly have an... interesting relationship with their God. They're just lucky he's so forgiving.

62. It's called...
blasphemy and using the Lord's name in vain is one of those commandments that they so desire to have displayed in courts all over.

I really think the guy must have had a small stroke or something, the part of his brain that controls his moral functions seem to be missing.
