The anointed one's pilgrimage to the Holy Land is a miracle in action - and a blessing to all his faithful followers

Rather funny.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Tsk, tsk.  A proper serf would be proud to be ignored by the Enlightened One.    grin

Well, did they at least have him touch some cloths that you could use to cure leprosy?

He went straight from BIAP to the IZ for meetings there.

Didn't even know he was in town until I saw it on the internet.  Then I logged on to one of my computers and watched as the UAV's followed his convoy.

Where did all this "Messiah" stuff come from?

Man, all these years I've been thinking Bill Gates was the anti-Christ ...

Not sure if it was the very first reference, but Boortz has been using it for a while now.

I wish I had your self-control.....I'd have been looking for the "Fire" or "Kamakaze" buttons...

Impressed yet befogged, they grasped at his vivid leading phrases, seeing only their surface meaning, and missing the deeper current of his thought.

I enjoyed the witty comments of our British brethren. Example:

Quote
Obama set off on the sort of tour JFK and others took after getting elected. Americans like ambition, but they don't like arrogance.
