Someone to Pray For?

I’m almost compelled to ask Mark Driscoll why he thought the President needed his prayer when he obviously didn’t even need his vote? Or why didn’t he offer, instead, a prayer for the guy he apparently wasted his vote on?

Here’s what Driscoll (@PastorMark) tweeted at 11:17am – 21 Jan 13:

Almost.

I would definitely ask him, “Who Do You Think You Are?”

Today in Ancient History – Al Dente

On this day in ancient history, Sept 2, 31 BC:

Famed Roman politician and general Marcus Antonius, better known as Mark Antony, and Cleopatra VII, the last reigning queen of The Republic of Egypt, were defeated at Actium.

After faking their deaths and undergoing reconstructive surgery to change their most recognizable features (Cleopatra’s nose and Antony’s lisp) they were placed in the witness protection program and smuggled out of Egypt. Read the rest of this entry

Practicing What’s Preached

Two people were removed from the Republican National Convention last night after they threw nuts at an African-American CNN camera operator and said, “This is how we feed animals.”

Multiple witnesses observed the exchange and RNC security and police immediately removed the two people from the Tampa Bay Times Forum.

Interestingly enough, it appears the two culprits did not have names, and, as some have speculated, they will probably be allowed to attend the remainder of the convention.

Nevertheless, I applaud the decision of RNC Security Police to remove the two malignant tumors from the event before their stupidity had a chance to metasticize and spread to other attendees. I suppose this is what inevitably happens when the political rhetoric of political candidates is tailored to appeal to the sordid ideologies of the consumately ignorant, who subsequently embrace the notion that their ideologies are suddenly valid.

They simply practice what is preached.

The convention released a statement saying, “Two attendees tonight exhibited deplorable behavior. Their conduct was inexcusable and unacceptable. This kind of behavior will not be tolerated.”

I sure hope they weren’t referring to the Security Police?
