From a recent psalm from the Book of Common Prayer:
Psalm 78:1-4, 12-16 with additional apocryphal verses
[1] Hear my teaching, O my people; incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
[2] I will open my mouth in a parable; I will declare the mysteries of ancient times.
[3] That which we have heard and known, and what our forefathers have told us, we will not hide from our children.
[4] We will recount to generations to come the praiseworthy deeds and the power of the Lord, and the wonderful works he as done.
[12] He worked marvels in the sight of their forefathers; in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
[13] He split open the sea and let them pass through; he made the waters stand up like walls.
[14] He led them with a cloud by day, and all the night through with a glow of fire.
[15] He split the hard rocks in the wilderness and gave them drink as from the great deep.
[16] He brought streams out of the cliff, and the waters gushed out like rivers.
[A1] And thus we will will teach our children; and they shall teach their children.
[A2] Unto the 70th generation they will be taught and they shall know the works of the Lord.
[A3] And the 71st generation will say unto their elders, are you kidding me?
[A4] For I learned the truth from my professors; to their words I have listened.
[A5] This is all just sky-god worship. This is all just cultural mumbo-jumbo.
[A6] The split sea was just a cultural tale; the cloud was just a fog.
[A7] There was no fire; there were no streams.
[A8] And thus the Lord will say, “Oh$%@#$, here we go again.”

“But what about you?” Obama asked. “Who do you say that I am?”
And a disciple answered, “You are the symbol of the possibility of
America returning to our best traditions. You are the one we have been
waiting for. You are the Kwisatz Haderach.”

I read, via dustbury.com, that now we can combine both “Hello Kitty” and post-modern consumerism. With this final step of a “Hello Kitty Platinum Visa“, one of the last prophesies of St. John has come to pass.
Rev 13:11 Then I saw another beast, coming out of the earth. He had two [ears] like a [kitty], but he spoke like a dragon. 12 He exercised all the authority of the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. 13 And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing [a credit card to spring forth] in full view of men. 14 Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth. He ordered them to set up an image in honour of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 16 He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark [in their wallet or purse], 17 so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.

First Representative Foley, now perhaps Representative Jim Kolbe.
Is there not some way of getting a list of names of pederast Congress-critters?

Don’t give me no pop, no pop, no pop.
Don’t give me no tea, no tea, no tea.
Just give me that milk. Moo-moo-moo-moo.
That Tuscan milk. Moo-moo-moo-moo.

Can’t find the right game to purchase for Christmas? Have you considered Monopoly: Eminent Domain Special Edition?
You may remember playing classic Monopoly as a youngster.
Sure the games took forever, but remember the fun you had buying
property, setting up houses and hotels? Remember the pride you took in
actually owning property and protecting that property from interlopers?
Well,
in the new Monopoly Eminent Domain Edition, you can take as much pride
in your property as you want, but remember - in today’s version, that
property is temporary. Thanks to SCOTUS’ Kelo decision,
this new game version reflects the new American reality that, as long
as a developer wants your land and government wants more tax revenue,
your property can taken on a whim, and there’s not a damn thing you can
do about it!
Others in the Eminent Domain Game(Tm) line from Hasbro include:
- Candy Land: All sweeteners are owned by the state. Each player must ask (or bribe) the legislators for their allotment.
- Barrel of Monkeys: You must apply for a special, limited license for each monkey in the chain. Opponents may ask the monkey board to revoke your license if they have a bigger chain. (Pardon me. Do you have a license for your minkey?)
- Battleship: Your opponent may apply to the legislature to have their ships repaired at tax-funded dockyards.
- Hi Ho! Cherry-O: Your opponent may seize your cherry orchard if they can convince the local board that they can produce more cherries, and thus more taxes, than you.
- Hungry, Hungry Hippos: Strangely enough, this game does not need modification.

Dwayne proves once again he is delightfully evil.
Sometimes I feel that the customer support people have heard about what Dwayne is doing and getting back at all of us. Cause you just need to reverse roles and keep the same level of mis-understanding for most customer support calls that I make anymore.
