While fixing the great blog crash of April 2008, I was playing with the settings and checked a little tab called "Adult Content" under:Obama’s Former Pastor Getting $1.6M Home in Retirement The Story HereI guess he has received the reward of his works here on earth?
FOX News has uncovered documents that indicate Wright is about to move to a10,340-square-foot, four-bedroom home in suburban Chicago, currently under construction in a gated community.
While it is not uncommon for an accomplished clergyman to live in luxury, Wright’s retirement residence is raising some questions.Accomplished? Accomplished at what, being a hate monger? There needs to be a Bible sized book of questions.
“This is about how these kinds of churches work,” notes Walsh. “These pastors who made big successful churches are real valuable commodities. Is it morally wrong? Well, Protestants don’t have the idea that their religious leaders should live modestly or aesthetically. We’re not talking Buddhist monks or Catholic priests here. There’s no tradition that says they have to live poor.”There seems to be a tradition of "Living It Up" though.

I also never knew Gumby could save the free world. HOO-RAH.Bill and Bob's Excellent Afghan Adventure
When things are constantly changing, as they have so many times during this deployment, there is a simple motto to keep us going; "Semper Gumby." Semper Gumby is Latin for "Always Flexible."
The ancient Greeks, the same good people who invented Latin, also invented Gumby. This was proven by the recent finding of a several thousand year old Gumby at the site of the battle of Marathon.
Okay... I made that part up. Except for the part about Latin. The Greeks did invent that. That part is true.

Eighth grade teachers Tawana Horton, 30, and Cambrella Pinckney, 28, bumped into each other during a hallway class change Friday afternoon at St. Andrews Middle School and began fighting, according to a report by the Richland County sheriff's department. The two teachers told an officer that they had an ongoing personal dispute, the report said.
The teachers were charged with disturbing schools and have been placed on administrative leave, deputies said.
"This occurred with students on the scene and they witnessed what happened," Richland School District 1 spokeswoman Karen York. "Teachers are looked at as role models. That doesn't set a good example."
Pinckney did not immediately return a message left at her home. A phone number for Horton could not be found. Deputies did not know if either of the women had attorneys.
York would not discuss if any disciplinary action had been taken against the teachers, but said officials are investigating the fight.
Possible punishments range from a letter of reprimand to firing, she said.
The two women have not returned to the school since the incident occurred, York said.
Horton taught at the school for one year, while Pinckney taught there for three years, York said.

Police Shoot Suspect After Car Chase, SWAT Standoff Source
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. --
A car chase that began in Nassau County ended Tuesday afternoon in the Arlington area, where a SWAT team surrounded a home and eventually shot a suspect.
A home in the 1200 block of Bellemeade Boulevard near the intersection of Townsend Boulevard and Lonestar Road was at the center of the SWAT standoff, during which 28-year-old Anthony Alexander Datri was shot.
The incident began in Yulee, Fla., where at about 3:50 p.m. the Nassau County Sheriff's Office was called to a home in response to a domestic violence situation that involved gunfire.
According to the Nassau County Sheriff's Office, deputies arrived at the scene as the suspect was fleeing the home in a vehicle.
They said the man took off, running deputies off the road. He was pursued as he traveled south and into Jacksonville.
Police broke off their pursuit of Datri on the Dames Point Bridge.
An 85-year-old man was requested by his doctor for a sperm count as part of his physical exam. The doctor gave the man a jar and said, "Take this jar home and bring back a semen sample tomorrow."
The next day the 85-year-old man reappeared at the doctor's office and gave him the jar, which was as empty as when he gave it to him.
The doctor asked what happened and the man explained, "Well, doc, it's like this -- first I tried with my right hand, but nothing. Then I tried with my left hand, but still nothing. Then I asked my wife for help. She tried with her right hand, then with her left, still nothing.
She tried with her mouth, first with the teeth in, then with her teeth out, still nothing.
We even called up Arleen, the lady next door and she tried too, first with both hands, then an armpit, and she even tried squeezing' it between her knees, but still nothing.
The doctor was shocked! "You asked your neighbor?"
The old man replied, "Yep, none of us could get the jar open."
The IRS decides to audit Ralph, and summons him to the IRS office. The IRS auditor is not surprised when Ralph shows up with his attorney.
The auditor says, 'Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full-time employment, which you explain by saying that you win money gambling. I'm not sure the IRS finds that believable.'
'I'm a great gambler, and I can prove it,' says Ralph. 'How about a demonstration?'
The auditor thinks for a moment and said, 'Okay. Go ahead.'
Ralph says, 'I'll bet you a thousand dollars that I can bite my own eye.'
The auditor thinks a moment and says, 'It's a bet.'
Ralph removes his glass eye and bites it.
The auditor's jaw drops.
Ralph says, 'Now, I'll bet you two thousand dollars that I can bite my other eye.'
Now the auditor can tell Ralph isn't blind, so he takes the bet.
Ralph removes his dentures and bites his good eye.
The stunned auditor now realizes he has wagered and lost three grand, with Ralph's attorney as a witness. He starts to get nervous.
'Want to go double or nothing?' Ralph asks. 'I'll bet you six thousand dollars that I can stand on one side of your desk, and pee into that wastebasket on the other side, and never get a drop anywhere in between.'
The auditor, twice burned, is cautious now, but he looks carefully and decides there's no way this guy could possibly manage that stunt, so he agrees again.
Ralph stands beside the desk and unzips his pants, but although he strains mightily, he can't make the stream reach the wastebasket on the other side, so he pretty much urinates all over the auditor's desk.
The auditor leaps with joy, realizing that he has just turned a major loss into a huge win. But Ralph's attorney moans and puts his head in his hands.
'Are you okay?' the auditor asks. 'Not really,' says the attorney.
'This morning, when Ralph told me he'd been summoned for an audit, he bet me twenty-five thousand dollars that he could come in here and piss all over your desk and that you'd be happy about it!
Man arrested in murder of U.S. Marine
TAMPA -- Cpl. Miguel Suarez served a tour of duty in Afghanistan and another in Iraq, but was killed a mile and a half from his childhood home early Saturday. Hillsborough sheriff's deputies say a 21-year-old gang member murdered the U.S. Marine in a botched robbery attempt.
Jonathan Sanabria, of 18425 Bittern Ave., saw Suarez, 25, walking home from a concert, said Sheriff's spokesman J.D. Callaway. Sanabria told deputies he wanted Suarez's gold chain and confronted him at gunpoint near the corner of N Himes and W Sligh Avenues.
The two scuffled before Sanabria pistol-whipped Suarez, shot him twice and left him lying in the street, Callaway said. Police arrested Sanabria Tuesday evening on a first-degree murder charge.
Suarez enlisted in the Marines in March 2003, the month the war began in Iraq. He served eight months each in Afghanistan and in Iraq. After his four-year contract expired this year, he re-enlisted and was assigned to a domestic post. He told family members he planned to make the Marines a life-long career.
Sanabria bears the tattoos of a member of the Gangster Disciples, a Chicago-based gang, Callaway said. Jail records indicate Sanabria was arrested last year in Hillsborough County on an armed burglary charge.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Eight hours after being beaten in the head with a hammer, a 74-year-old Jacksonville man awakened and called 911 for help, police said.
Thomas Lewis remained in the hospital Wednesday, two days after the attack. Authorities said they've arrested the man's roommate, Willie Robinson, and charged him with the hammer attack.
Investigators said Robinson rented a room from Lewis in a Durkeeville home, but on Monday night they said he attacked Lewis, stole his wallet and locked him in his bedroom using a padlock to secure the door.
"He hit him repeatedly to the point he blacked out. He could've killed him," said Jacksonville Sheriff's Office spokesman Ken Jefferson.Police said Lewis blacked out for eight hours, and when he awoke he was able to call for help:
Dispatch: 911.
Victim: Ma'am.
Dispatch: Yes.
Victim: Send rescue to West 3rd Street.
Dispatch: Are you safe?
Victim: Yes Ma'am.
Dispatch: All right, hang on.
Dispatch: We have a Thomas Lewis. He called us this morning to advise that he was awakened from bed last night and was hit upside the head with a hammer when he opened the door.
Neighbors in the close-knit community where the men live said they are devastated. They said Lewis has lived in their neighborhood for 50 years.
"I heard the rescue. I came outside and saw them take Mr. Lewis," said neighbor Maxine Mathews. "Everybody's really sad about it. I've been upset about it, you know.
"Robinson is being held without bond in the Duval County Jail. (Source.)
