Buffy ,'Get It Done'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
That whackaloon Phelps, who's been protesting at soldiers' funerals, was going to turn out for the Amish funerals. He was talked out of it, apparently by the bribe of an hour's air time on a nationally syndicated radio show.
How he can call himself Christian in the face of the Amish I have no idea. You'd think God would reach down, grab him and say, "Dude, I'm a patient God, but you're getting on my last nerve."
Phelps is going to burn in hell for sooo long, and at a temperature rarely matched.
I tend to think of it as more being alone in the dark forever with NO ONE to ever pay attention to him again.
The truth is, even if he had life insurance, it's not going to pay out. He committed suicide.
Theoretically it should, unless the policy started within the last two years.
Well, fuck. January might be off. I've got a query from hell and I can't make sense of the data, much less the metadata. It's still raining.
Should've stayed in bed.

Really? I thought all suicides negated an insurance payoff. But that could just be from watching too many TV shows.
Still more:
Oct. 5, 2006 — The oldest of the five Amish girls shot dead in a Pennsylvania schoolhouse is said to have stepped forward and asked her killer to "Shoot me first," in an apparent effort to buy time for her schoolmates.
Rita Rhoads, a midwife who delivered two of the victims, told ABC News' Law and Justice Unit that she learned of 13-year-old Marian Fisher's plea from Fisher's family.
What's more, Fisher's 11-year-old sister, Barbie, who survived the shooting, allegedly asked the gunman, Charles Carl Roberts IV, to "Shoot me second," Rhoads said.
"They were amazing," Rhoads said, "absolutely amazing. There was a tremendous amount of calm and courage in that schoolroom."
From CNN:
Thousands of Iraqi police officers have been wounded or killed in the last two years, the U.S. commander in charge of police training in Iraq said today. Since September 2004, about 4,000 officers have been killed and 8,000 injured, said Maj. Gen. Joseph Paterson.
Holy sh*t. In a way I'm not surprised, but damn, that's not good.

It depends on the policy. I once worked at an insurance company - some policies had a "suicide clause" and some didn't.
OK, I haven't felt spiritually inadequate since Mother Teresa died, but the Amish are doing me in with the "I'm not worthy" thing. We should send them on tour of the big corporate churches, but that's kind of counter-intuitive and cruel to the Amish.

Understatement of the century. Holy crap that's something.

What Connie said.

I really shouldn't find anything about this funny, but that's funny. Sad, but funny.
