Most awful hack job, but my kid likes it

No, you should face them squarely in the middle. Help stamp out extremism. (;-)

Besides, even after the physical effects have worn off, alcohol abuse can lead to severely clouded judgement and temperamental behaviour. Not something one wants to see in the man with his finger on "The Button".

Pastor electrocuted while performing baptism

WACO, Texas - A pastor performing a baptism was electrocuted inside his church Sunday morning after adjusting a nearby microphone while standing in water, a church employee said.

The Rev. Kyle Lake, 33, was stepping into the baptistery as he reached out for the microphone, which produced an electric shock, said University Baptist Church community pastor Ben Dudley.

Water in a baptistery usually reaches above the waist, said Byron Weathersbee, interim university chaplain at Baylor University. advertisement

Lake was pronounced dead at Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center, nursing supervisor Pat Mahl said. The woman being baptized apparently had not stepped into the water and was not seriously injured.

Pastors at University Baptist Church routinely use a microphone during baptisms, said Jamie Dudley, the wife of Ben Dudley and a business administrator at the church.

"He was grabbing the microphone so everyone could hear," she said. "It's the only way you can be loud enough."

Yup. Let's talk about W's problem, if it exists, after he testifies to congress that it isn't happening. It's about perjury, folks, not getting a hummer.

Clinton's proper answere would have been "It's none of your business", which would have been the truth.

Yep. In our twisted world you can be totally innocent of committing a crime, because "what you did" is not criminal, but lie about "what you did" and you get prosecuted.

"Boys will be boys?"

Lying to a grand jury is still lying to a grand jury. Perjury is still perjury. And if they lied, what were they trying to cover up?

Jim, you can recover from that Repugnacrat brain lock, but you would have to admit that your infallible leader isn't infallible.

Thanks! Rich

Strictly speaking - yes, the post could be interpreted as hyprocrasy. But I think anyone who fails to see the difference here must have lived a *very* sheltered life...

Note that in addition to having no real idea whether Bush is getting drunk or not, I also don't know if Clinton got drunk while in office. I'm just saying that the president has responsibilities at all times, and must be able to make decisions quickly. Some after-hours activities can be quickly interrupted if need be - drunkenness cannot. (Nor can drug abuse, as suggested by another poster - again, I can't say anything about such rumours.)

I don't think Clinton, or her husband, are capable of telling the truth.

From your point of view, yes, of course.

But from the point of view of the true leftist weenie, I look like Adol- no, wait a sec, I don't want to invoke that.

The point is, I see both sides of the table, so to speak. I can see your errors, just as I can see the errors of the leftist liberal weenies. I'm a f***in' [That's "f***in'", the adjective, not "f****ng", the gerund] Libertarian! Free Will Is God!

But Free Will includes my right to harass you for having opinions that I think are contrary. And, of course, you are free to plonk me or dismiss me as a liberal weenie, or whatever you want to do. It's your choice. That's the Nature of Free Will.

No matter whom you install over yourself as your leader/ruler/god, it is _you_ who made that decision.

Free Will is what Creation is _MADE OF_!!!

Thanks, Rich

Or: "Yep, sure did. Enjoyed it, too. But if you think you're bothered by it, you should talk to Hillary! I'm about two shakes from being assassinated -- by the First Lady!"

I know I shouldn't feed the trolls, but I'm curious as to whether there is any rationality behind posts like this...

Not that I have such an addiction, but why would it be relevant to my employers? If it does not affect the quality of my work, and does not make me unsafe, then it is my business (I'm not on duty 24 hours a day). I happen to live in a free country, so things like drug tests by employers are highly illegal and considered a breach of personal privacy.

I've lost track here. You think Bush is a mindless puppet controlled by "black helicopters" ? Most people would disagree about the mind rays, but a lot would agree about the rest.

And where do you get the idea that I am a Bush hater? You seem to be attributing all sorts of ideas that I haven't written about. As it happens, I do happen to be a Bush hater, but that's on rational grounds rather than because of some angst about lack of control of the USA. You have been making the absurdly unwarented assumption that I'm American - I'm a Scot, living in Norway. So my interest in American politics is from the outside, looking in - it gives me a lot clearer view than most American's seem to have. And "for the record" (a phrase that seems popular in these sorts of newsgroup threads), I was not greatly impressed by Clinton either - it's only in comparison to Bush that he shines. In fact, I think you have to go a very long way back in American history to get to a president that really deserved the job, and dedicated himself to the good of his country.

In the last election, I don't think the Democrats could have put in a worse effort. Any rational objective thinker could see that their candidate was far better, yet they managed to hide it incredibly well. Add to that the level of fraud, corruption and vote rigging from the Republicans, and is incredible that the election was so close.

Bush is getting increasingly unpopular with just about everybody. As to how things will go by the next election, I really could not begin to guess. There is a steadily stronger pull from the far right, even though they are a small fraction of the population. For comparison, it only took a small fraction of far right extremists to take control of

1930's Germany.

Perhaps I'll just continue to watch from over here, and hope that Europe doesn't get sucked to far in with America's problems and it's downfall (we have enough problems of our own).

Given the numbers of times both Bill and Hillary mumbled "I cannot remember" during their various investigations..something like 500 or so..they should be called the Alzheimer Couple.

Was this the same kind of Perjury that the Clintons were convicted of? Afterall...it was ONLY lying about personal stuff...right?

Meth affects judgment, and has a very long "hang time" which means it will affect your judgment even during working hours.

According to the mindless drones on the Left..Bush has a Neocon hand up his ass and is simply a puppet. You new here?

Thank you for confirmation of your Bush hating. It simply drips from your previous posts. As for where or what you are..it is simply not germane. As for the babble about Yank presidents who deserve the job..damned few politicians of any nationality deserve the job...be it Vidkun Quisling, or Rob Roy.

Your posts are filled with erronious statements that prove your bias and ignorance. Yes..Bush was a poor choice..but given the far far worse choice..the man you claim was superior..snicker...it was hold our noses and vote for the lesser of two evils.

With the Media always spewing the Negatives, and never reporting the positives..its not surprising the lumpin proletariat gives him a bad grade. And of course.its quite intentional

For comparison..it only took a small fraction of far left extremists to take control of Czarist Russia. And of course..they butchered hundreds of millions.

Oh yah..you do have problems of your own..seems Socialism isnt doing so well ...chuckle...and the hordes of Fundimentalist Islamic Fascists are going to be keeping you busy for quite some time for the foreseeable future.

Jihad!! Jihad!

But hey...you have three choices.. convert to Islam, pay the tax and become a dhzeim, or die.

Make your choices wisely.
