My favorite quote from Falwell:

I guess the story told in Mark 12:41-44 and Luke 21:1-4 doesn't mean much to him...

What a horrible creature. I guess religious hucksterism must pay pretty well, since he's so firmly up Trump's patootie. Birds of a feather, and all that.

Perhaps the most telling part of the interview is this:

Q: Is there anything President Trump could do that would endanger that support from you or other evangelical leaders?

A: No.

Il Duce did say he could go out on Fifth Avenue and shoot someone, and not lose any support. Not, apparently, from the evangelical leaders. This is a classic case of what is called "blind loyalty."

We now turn to the Good Book (KJV), the Book of Matthew, Chapter 15, verse 14:

Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

I work for a local Health Company and just happened across the following dosage instructions recorded by a doctor:

TAKE 1 CAPSULE AT ONCE UNTIL MEDICATION IS COMPLETED

and may I add: BUT DON"T CHOKE

Doctor, doctor! Give my anti-greed pills and -- as many as possible!

Yeah, right!

Man, that could be turned into a real punishment. Wow. I've heard for a long time that Thailand had a lot to offer along those lines. I never thought of that particular method of, ah, "filling the ranks."

I can see it now...

"How'd someone like you get into this uh, business?"

"I'm working off a shoplifting conviction."

Haha, you should go to thaivisa and read the comments. Easy to find with a search by the phrase. Quite funny material to read, along the same lines you said. If you have nothing to do this weekend and whole next week...

@Serge: genial!
