REV. JOHN: Random Thoughts for 6/15

This Sunday on PCLIVE! we'll be looking at "Conservatism: Like the Message, Hate the Messengers" and "The 3rd Party: Bloomberg, Hagel, Gore, et al." If you're free Sunday morning, stop by and say hello.


It's funny, but if the media keeps hammering Mike Huckabee over evolution and keeps trying to create an issue where there isn't an issue, it'll probably actually help him gain traction with primary voters and raise money.


I wasn't much of a fan, but the last episode of The Sopranos was brilliant. More importantly, did you hear the song at the end? FUCKING JOURNEY, MAN!!! You know you heard that song and though of your friendly neighborhood eReverend. What do I keep telling you? America isn't aboot "democracy" or "freedom." It's all aboot Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'." Even Tony Soprano gets it.


Fantastic Four 2 is this weekend. I'm going into the movie with cautious optimism. The second movie is usually the best one - Spiderman 2 was my favourite, and X-Men 2 I thought was flawless. Unfortunately there's still trepidation, because lately going to see the comic book movies is kind of like being in an abusive relationship. You know it's going to hurt, and deep down you know better, but you keep going back anyway.


When you're sitting there in your silk upholstered chair talking to some rich folk that you know, I hope you won't see me in my ragged company because you know I could never be alone. Take me down little Susie, take me down. I know you think you're the queen of the underground. And you can send me dead flowers every morning, send me dead flowers by the mail, send me dead flowers to my wedding and I won't forget to put roses on your grave.


I wonder if people realize that when people ban Fox News from their movie premiere, or boycott their debate (after sticking your finger in the air to see which way the wind is blowing), they only make Fox News stronger.


One of my associates had thought that that former Senator Bill Frist was going to get the Republican nomination in 2008, and it's beginning to look like he's right. The only difference is the role played by Bill Frist, formally played by Bill Frist, will now being played by former Senator Fred Thompson. Where Democrats fall in love with whoever tells them what they want to hear (Buck Fush), Republicans are apparently looking for the Manchurian Candidate. Before it was Frist, it was former Senator George Allen.


I've made all the Presidential candidates my friends on MySpace. I figure that, at least for the candidates who are fully utilizing it, I'd be able to keep up with what t hey have to say, where they're saying it, etc. And when there are 800 people running for President and national security is so important, I find it funny that someone hacked into Duncan Hunters MySpace page. I suppose there's a chance that he really has fifty free ringtones to offer me, but I doubt it.


Angelina Jolie is an idiot.
