Serpent-handling pastor profiled earlier in Washington Post dies from rattlesnake bite
Mack Wolford, a flamboyant Pentecostal pastor from West Virginia whose serpent-handling talents were profiled last November in The Washington Post Magazine , hoped the outdoor service he had planned for Sunday at an isolated state park would be a “homecoming like the old days,” full of folks speaking in tongues, handling snakes and having a “great time.”
He and other adherents cited Mark 16:17-18 as the reason for their practice: “And these signs will follow those who believe: in My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
“Praise the Lord and pass the rattlesnakes, brother” he wrote on May 23
Darwin Award!
So, those who don't test for osteoporosis, will they also get Darwin Award nominations?
You miss the point. Spreading half-wit semitruths like this will actually get the Republicans behind domestic pollution control!
Just say the Chinese will ruin America and people will support it; even the people who thought it was un-American to fight for a better environment a decade ago.
What a coincidence, mister. I just happen to have a waterfront house on the marvellous Island of Bogomipi, off the beautiful coast of Nigeria. My friend, the charming lady Ogoboffo Moffo has seen the island and says it would suit any Lord of the Bitcoin power with good computer skills. We have good electricity skills in this island. And excellent telephone connections. Please, contact me and you and I we make little bicoins into more, larger and much shinier bitcoins. You are my friend mister. Please let the world find heaven in golden collaboration.
MKs Michael Ben-Ari (Ichud Leumi), Ofer Akunis (Likud), Danny Danon (Likud) and others spoke in the Knesset today about the need to deport everyone but [Interior Minister] Eli Yishai (Shas) has already deported all those who can be forced to leave legally,” pointed out Rozen.
Rozen was referring to an emergency hearing of the Knesset Committee on Foreign Workers, which was held Monday to discuss an alarming spurt in violent crimes in neighborhoods where there is a large population of African migrants. During the meeting Knesset members slammed the government’s policy on what it calls foreign “infiltrators” and demanded a solution be found immediately. MKs such as Akunis, Danon and Ben-Ari said they were already in the process of drafting legislation that would see thousands of the migrants deported over the next few years.
Earlier in the day, Justice Minister Yaakov Neiman, speaking at a gathering of legal representatives in Eilat, said that the government was also already working to eliminate the “scourge” from the country.
"Roman Catholic dioceses, schools and other groups sued the Obama administration Monday in eight states and the District of Columbia over a federal mandate that most employers provide workers free birth control as part of their health insurance."
"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stoked a volatile debate about refugees and migrant workers from Africa, warning that “illegal infiltrators flooding the country” were threatening the security and identity of the Jewish state. “If we don’t stop their entry, the problem that currently stands at 60 000 could grow to 600 000, and that threatens our existence as a Jewish and democratic state,” Netanyahu said at Sunday’s Cabinet meeting. “This phenomenon is very grave and threatens the social fabric of society, our national security and our national identity.”"

Beer should come in 1.5 L mugs, like in Paris! Not like those tiny 0.3 L glasses they have in Amsterdam.
Will NYC Mayeor Bloomberg touch beer glass sizes, too? Brrr.
I was under the impression beer fatten too.
That's an astout observation!
Hence, no stout for you, mister. ;)
It may be an act of God if you get osteoporosis.
If you don't have the faith, God will punish you. Osteoporosis and snake bites, it's all the same.
Here is living example:

Not in my trailer park.
"because he was in a phase of refusing to wash and so he apparently smelt bad"
Hmmm... Somehow that lessens my previous critique of his persona.
Still, he was greedy smelly. So he wasn't all good after all!

Yes. Most likely.

Scourge? Sigh...

"Quantifying the Risk of Texting Drivers"
Huh? Why not just talk to him? In our limo we keep the security glass down, so we don't have to text him.
In NYC, we don't talk to the driver, reducing the risk of texting drivers.
This is nothing new.
Larger companies, like Coca-Cola, Intel, etc. still wrestle themselves into presence in the world.
Owned by Indians, built by Chinese, bought by Americans and marketed as British.
This must be the epitome of globalization.
