I Sure Wouldn't Want To Be In HIS Shoes!

In these last days, the workings of Satan are just prolific all around us. There has been a palpable change in the atmosphere. Even unbelievers are noticing it. A certain dread in the air as "natural" disasters are occuring all around us.

When I read the following, it was as though I could see the scrunched up face of Satan as he hurled yet another insult at his archenemy, the Messiah of Israel. Well ....I sure wouldn't want to be in the shoes of the man whose lips spoke these words:

Saeb Erekat, senior spokesman for PLO chief Mahmoud Abbas, asserted on Thursday that the "successful" outcome of the land-for-peace process would make a greater impact on the Middle East than that made by Jesus Christ. Erekat, speaking at a conference in Tel Aviv said, "The Israeli and Palestinian leaders who reach an agreement will be more important to the region's history than Jesus."


This reminded me of the following people who are now in their graves:

John Lennon of "The Beatles"
"Christianity will end, it will disappear ....We're more popular than Jesus now. I don't know which will go first, rock 'n' roll or Christianity."
John Lennon was shot six times.

Marilyn Monroe, actress
After hearing what Billy Graham had to say, she said to him:
"I don't need your Jesus."
One week later, she was found dead in her apartment.

Cazuza, bi-sexual Brazilian composer and singer
During a show in Rio de Janeiro, he puffed out some cigarette smoke into the air and said, "God, that's for you."
He died a horrible death at the age of 32 -of LUNG CANCER.

Bon Scott, singer
In one of his songs he sang:
"Don't stop me; I'm going down all the way, down the highway to hell."
Bon Scott was found dead, he had been choked by his own vomit.

Christine Hewitt, Jamaican journalist
She said the Bible (the Word of God) was the worst book ever written.
She was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor vehicle.

Tancredo Neves, President of Brazil
He said if he got 500,000 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency.
He got the votes, but a day before being made President he got sick and then he died.

William Pirrie, president of the company that built the Titanic
After the construction, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be. With an ironic tone he said: "Not even God can sink it."
We all know what happened to the Titanic on its MAIDEN voyage.

Our Morally Bankrupt Justices

I used to watch "Dragnet" as a kid, and grew up thinking our justice system to be absolutely beyond question. What on earth has happened to our country? We hear reports like the following almost daily, and they expose the morally bankrupt system that presides over our society. I don't know about you, but this makes me nauseous:

Two reports, just from today's news:

Story #1:
The chief judge in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Alex Kozinski, has been caught posting graphic, sexually explicit photos and videos on his website while he's presiding over an obscenity case in Los Angeles.

He said he thought the site was for his private storage and that he was not aware the images could be seen by the public. (Yeah, right! Even the dumbest among us would check that out first)

The paper reported images of nudity, genitalia, public sex, bestiality, and graphic images of things too raw to be further enumerated here.

A law professor who specializes in legal ethics, said the judge no longer should be on the case, as "the public can reasonably question his objectivity." The case in question involves a Los Angeles filmmaker accused of distributing criminally obscene sexual-fetish videos. (Maybe the judge will do a plea bargain, if the man will post his stuff on the judge's web site?)

Public access to the site has been blocked after reporters started asking questions.

Story #2
Massachusetts Gov. Duval Patrick has appointed lesbian activist Maureen Monks as associate justice of the Middlesex Probate and Family Court, ignoring a dissenting vote by the Massachusetts Governor's Council.

She needed to win 5 votes to be confirmed but only received a 4-4 vote denying confirmation. (Go figure.)

Activist Maureen Monks is co-chair of the Massachusetts Lesbian and Gay Bar Association, and is an advocate for "gay" and women's rights.

Councilor Mary-Ellen Manning presented a statement explaining her objection to Monks' nomination, saying Monks did not disclose her history of "teaching same-sex marriage concepts to high school students" to the Governor's Council. Manning also said Monks's history shows she is prone to side with women over men and that her appointment would be in conflict with the public's perception of fair treatment. (I think the public has lost hope of "fair treatment.")

Gov. Patrick said he considers the 5-2 verbal vote to be an official count, though the Massachusetts Constitution requires that all official votes be recorded. (But of course! He has a reputation to uphold!)
