I Guess I'm Not the Only Cranky Pants

...scratching their head in irritated disbelief.

...Now, I can understand sleeping through the occasional sermon. I myself have often woken up just as the hymn starts, with absolutely no recollection about what was said during the past twenty minutes.

But then again, I’ve never attended the same church for 20 years and have never considered a pastor, reverend or minister as my mentor. And, to be fair, none of my past religious leadership figures have stated that AIDS was invented by the U.S. Government, that the U.S. was to blame for 9/11, that Israel is a dirty word or that America essentially deserves all the ills visited upon it because it is a racist, arrogant country.

The most inflammatory statement I’ve ever heard while sitting in church is that too many folks have signed up to bring Jell-O to the Memorial Day picnic and we could use some volunteers to bring hot covered dishes.

So, the Obama campaign now has its knickers in a knot because people, meaning the newly aggressive media or people who haven’t drunk the Change elixir, have dared to point out that the senator’s association with the fiery pastor might need some context.


Heh.

I'm guessing that Obama's "faith based" troubles ain't exactly over yet, hmmmmm?

Somewhere, Hillary is smiling a dry, evil smile of satisfaction.
