After staying here nine nights, Julie and Killer Dawg<\/em> moved out yesterday.  I’m feeling lonely.  After a while I<\/font>‘ll get used to my routine again.  She will be back for about four hours on Saturday and will help train her replacement for a couple hours on Tuesday.  I felt too tired to sleep well last night, so I took a Lona Nap this morning and I am running late.<\/font><\/p>\n

Short Takes<\/strong>:<\/font><\/p>\n

From Daily Kos<\/a>: <\/font>Because that is what Jesus would do, right? No, wrong<\/strong>. Assault weapons are meant for one thing \u2014 to kill. Jesus was against killing. <\/em><\/p>\n

The Globe<\/a> reports on a church in Joplin, Missouri, that held a raffle and gave away two Black Rain AR-15 assault rifles on Father\u2019s Day. Fathers were given one free ticket and another for each child they brought in. (I wonder if you could bring in someone else\u2019s child for extra tickets…) Ignite says it was part of a marketing strategy to \u201clure\u201d  young men between 18-35 to follow Jesus. Because that\u2019s what Jesus would do right? No, wrong. No where [sic] does it say Jesus \u201clured.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

It would appear that church exists to worship Republican Supply-side Jesus, who Republicans invented to justify their false gospel of violence, lies, hate and greed. Republican Supply-side Jesus is the polar opposite of the real Jesus.<\/font><\/p>\n
