“Hope Now!” It sounds like some new kind of cargo cult, doesn’t it?

But it’s not.

New Candy on the Street

Hershey’s pushing some crack cocaine candy look-a-like.

However, housing sales were up from last month’s figures which were adjusted down and are still down from a year ago… Can someone explain all this new math?

Oh. Stocks up again, but only moderately so…

(Rudy, Time for re-dosing your Viagra!)

“God Forced My Hand!”

Shorthand summary of Richard Roberts’ speech yesterday to the studentbody at Oral Roberts U: “Every ounce of my flesh resisted, I writhed and I fought, but being the Moral Being that I am I finally listened to God’s wishes and immediately resigned in obedience to God because I am a Very Godly Man!”

Drunk Driving

…on the Highway to Holiness! (Video evidence at the link.)

Thanks, I’ll take the wine instead!

New drug said to make everyone “like Lance Armstrong” and cure age-related diseases to boot…
