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.
{{{{{Aimee & Dad}}}} peace~ to you both, with my condolences.
I's so sorry, Aimee.
In shallow news, dagnabbit that Ex List show got canned! It was cute, and now I have NCIS taped instead. Hmph.
ION, Palin just lost the atheist vote. Or, the .001% of atheist that were going to vote for her...
Palin's Movement Urges 'Godly' To 'Plunder' Wealth of The 'Godless'
Sarah Palin endorser Bishop Thomas Muthee, in a speech he gave before blessing and anointing Sarah Palin as a political leader, on October 16, 2005 at the Wasilla Assembly of God, laid out the current agenda of the New Apostolic Reformation - how "God's kingdom" needed to "infiltrate" seven sectors of society. Muthee listed most of them: business and finance, schools and education, media and entertainment, politics and government.
Muthee also stated "The Bible says the wealth of the wicked is stored up for the righteous. Sarah Palin was in the audience. Minutes later, she was anointed, and blessed, with the laying on of hands.
Thomas Muthee is an internationally known celebrity in the New Apostolic Reformation and a personal friend of the movement's head, C. Peter Wagner. In June 2006 Wagner proclaimed that "God has declared through His prophets that the wealth of the wicked will be released to the Kingdom of God," and declared, threateningly, "the enemies' camp will be plundered."
This religious movement that Palin is a part of is mega-scary, and has gotten practically no mainstream media attention.
Oh my - this group is also connected to the weird "Anointing the Bull" ritual prayer thing at Wall St. the other day.
I got a nasty, anonymous robocall saying, "Barack Obama will RAISE YOUR TAXES" and then something about "redistributing the wealth." Blocked number on caller i.d., no names, no greeting, nothing. Just the lies and then silence. Fuckers.
I really, really hate the depths to which the McCain campaign has sunk.
I really want to know why, if the progressive income tax is the scourge of the earth and half-way to communism, why Steve Forbes wasn't elected.
I just saw my first anti-Obama ad. I mean, it's NYC - what are they thinking. anyhoo - it was all Rev. Wright and how Obama is TOO Radical!! Oooo scary. again, NYC, we kinda love the Radicals.
I really REALLY don't get the robocalls. Does McCain really think the average undecided voter hates Obama more than telemarketers? Really?
msbelle, if it was in prime time, it may have been a national spot.
