It's a LONG list, but everything is itemized, so it's easy (and fun) to read.

4. More graft and corruption from the Fundie Mafia.

In days of old it was La Cosa Nostra made up of Italian-immigrants. Today it's the Fundie Mafia, made up of the TV preachers and idolaters of the right.

6. Women boinking minors.

Husbands facilitating said boinkage. Graft. Corruption. Embezzlement. Big closets.

Gawd. Just think: there are more details yet to be revealed.

It's times like these I love The Right.

10. Shouldn't she be charged if she's having sex with her 16-year-old?

There is no end to what they will do. Is the university tax-exempt? Isn't his ministry?

I don't think I have enough popcorn to make it through this one. Dang!

11. Scholarships to friends, two with ACT scores of 12

" Mrs. Roberts personally awarded thirteen non-academic, non-need-based scholarships exclusively to friends of her children. Two of the recipients scored 12's on the ACT, making them academically ineligible for admission to the university. When informed that the two students with 12's on the ACT could be admitted contingently and put into the Bridge program, Mrs. Roberts demanded that they be admitted without condition and that the questioning employee be fired. (Original draft references affidavit and copies of all transcripts of students awarded scholarships. Additionally, copies of awards for fulI room, board, and tuition scholarships, bearing Mrs. Roberts signature, were attached.)"

WOW! What a list of abuses! How does one explain it? Alcohol? Drugs?

15. The world's greatest con

Religion. This will be fun :popcorn:

[Skidmore]

16. Some of the nastiest people I've met have been in

fundamentalist churches, especially among the ministers and deacons. Lie, cheat, steal, debauchery...you name it. Then they turn all sanctimonious and point their fingers in condemnation of the rest of society. The truest statement ever made in history was that made by Marx about religion being the opiate of the people. Throughout history organized religion has bred corruption and wars, and the more certain the group is of its knowledge of God's will, the greater the abuses.
