Rep. Michael Grimm, felonious tax-evader and media relations expert, announced his intention to resign from Congress, after insisting only a week ago that he would NOT resign, despite pleading guilty, according to a late-breaking report from the New York Daily News
Hard to believe, culturally speaking, that Grimm got in trouble for not paying FICA on the employee wages of his, uh, <i>health food restaurant.</i>. You&#039;d expect an owner with a pony tail, body art, etc.
However, not paying taxes you owe to cover your employees&#039; Soshecurity and Medicare benefits is <i>very</i> Republican. You don&#039;t want those lazy takers to get used to warming their snouts in the public trough. As a job creator, it is Grimm&#039;s obligation to increase stockholder value by cutting costs wherever possible. The fact that Grimm is the only stockholder is immaterial.
...considering that he knows how to break someone over his knee like a boy, I am hoping for prison time so he can &quot;try&quot; and put that skill to use.
So was the Jan. 5th date specifically God&#039;s recommendation, or give he just give Grimm some general guidelines on timing? Bible Literalists demand to know!!!
They know perfectly well what the right thing to do is. They pray for the strength to do it, and for the strength to face the mockery, anger, contempt, and jailtime that will ensue when they do it.
I think this is why so many religious folks assume that one cannot have morality without religion. If you don&#039;t pray, how can you possibly ever find the strength to do the right thing?
Therefore, we who do not pray are never doing the right thing. QED.
PS In the case of Michael Grimm, I doubt very much he&#039;s doing any praying at all. He&#039;s a master of lip service and sound bites, is all.
Yesterday&#039;s NY Times front page was a thing of beauty, containing the following headlines:

Court musician to the Republican Party.
&quot;Dear Lord, please don&#039;t let me get caught.&quot;
Forget it LT81, it&#039;s Staten Island.
man. this is sickening.
I suspect he will derive some benefit from being sworn in to the new term before resigning.

Another Grimm Fairy Tale happy ending.
Perhaps the voices in their head are just that...
At worst he&#039;ll go to white collar resort prison and not federal pound me in the ass prison.

Why is prayer seen as a sign of personal virtue? Seems more like a clear indication of mental illness.
Ha Ha that there Jebbus works in mysterious ways
