From Ernie

Just got this from Steve.  He seems mightily perplexed and in need of our individual and collective help.
Ern

Dearest Friends:

I am writing to you to ask for your help in shedding light on a perplexing situation I find myself contemplating.

I have selected you as a group to aid me because you have known me for a number of years and I value your opinion.
Your religious experiences are varied and that is important to the problem with which I am faced.

Over the years, we have all observed the seemingly random factors that affect all of our lives, sometimes without apparent rhyme or reason.
We have seen some marriages dissolve over nothing, and others grow stronger under adverse conditions.
We have seen fate play a role in who survives critical illnesses and who succumbs to them.
We have all seen good people suffer great misfortunes while some people of low character thrive.
In our lifetime, we have seen Churches and Religious institutions all around the world become revised, televised, energized and even scandalized.
We are all well aware that a higher power has control of nearly all things.

Personally, I have stood in the doorway of a 7/11, amid a shootout between the police and a gunman, and walked away unscathed.
On a golf course, I saw a lightning bolt strike a man dead while those of us nearby where untouched.
We all watched as Hurricane Katrina ravaged some areas of the coast and left other nearby homes standing intact.

The enormity of these random and seemingly unfair applications of good or bad fortune is at the core of my dilemma.
Over the years I have studied sacred writings of all major religions, and recently I have reviewed many of these great books searching for an answer.
Alas, I have been unable to fathom the following, and now I pose the question to you?......

Why would the highest power in this universe take Anna Nicole from us and leave Hillary behind?

6.. You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me
7.. Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.
8.. Earth is the insane asylum for the universe.
9.. I'm not a complete idiot -- Some parts are just missing.

13.. The gene pool could use a little chlorine.

18.. Procrastinate Now!

21.. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a cash advance
22.. Stupidity is not a handicap. Park elsewhere!
23..They call it PMS because Mad Cow Disease was already taken.
24..He who dies with the most toys is nonetheless DEAD.
25..A picture is worth a thousand words, but it uses up three thousand times the memory.
26..Ham and eggs.A day's work for a chicken, a lifetime commitment for a pig.
27.. The trouble with life is there's no background music.
28.. The original point and click interface was a Smith & Wesson.
29. I smile because I don't know what the hell is going on.

Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends! Life is too short and friends are too few.

THEY'RE OFF - AND AWFUL

Clinton: Hee haw, she's one of us.
March 6, 2007 --

QUESTION: Welcome to the Two-Party Presidential Primary Debate. I'm your moderator, Katie Couric. With the presidential campaign season roaring into high gear a year earlier than usual, we've convened the major candidates for a freewheeling discussion of the issues. Let me begin with Sen. Clinton. Your campaign appears to have hit a speed bump, with Barack Obama gaining on you. What's happened here?

CLINTON: Problem we got here is, failure to communicate (Expectorates tobacco juice into a spittoon).

Q: Barack Obama, you took to the stage in Selma this weekend to address concerns that your Nigerian-Swedish heritage may not appeal to black voters in this country. Could you talk a little about that?

OBAMA: Katie, your mama is so fat that I understand when she sits around the house, she actually sits around the house! By which I mean, of course, that she uses up every square inch of the house because she is overweight.

Q: Mrs. Clinton, rebuttal?

CLINTON: Oh, fiddle-dee-dee! Tomorrow is another day!

Q: Mitt Romney, you were governor of Massachusetts and are now seeking the Republican nomination for president. Do you have a message for the American people?

ROMNEY: I would just like to denounce Ann Coulter, and I would like it noted for the record that this is my Sister Souljah moment.

Q: John McCain, this is your second attempt to gain the Republican nomination. Many in the GOP base distrust you because they think your campaign-finance policies restrict free speech.

McCAIN: My friends, we gather at a time of great testing. We must be better than we have been. Therefore, if you say anything negative about me 60 days before an election, I will have you sent to Walter Reed.

Q: Rudy Giuliani, you appear to be making converts among social conservatives despite your support for legal abortion.

GIULIANI: Support? I wouldn't say support. I would say loathing. Can I just say I hate abortion? Because I do. You know how the first President Bush hated broccoli? Well, it's like that with me on abortion, only worse. I don't like it. I hate it. Let me make it crystal clear to you: If abortion came up to me on the street tomorrow, I would give it a piece of my mind and tell it a thing or two. Oh, yes.

Q: Mr. McCain, rebuttal?

McCAIN: I am a strong pro-life person. But I believe in respecting pro-choice people. That's why I say if you're going to be pro-choice, don't be wishy-washy about it. Admit you like abortion. Admit you love it. That's the advice I'd give to my friend Rudy.

GIULIANI: I will bomb an abortion clinic if that's what it takes to prove it to you. When it's empty.

Q: Mrs. Clinton, you appear to have donned a hat.

CLINTON: Sure did! And land sakes if it don't have the price tag a-hangin' from it! Hee Haw!

OBAMA: Forgive me for interrupting, but I must interject that your mama is so ugly that if she went to an ugly contest, they would tell her, "Sorry, no professionals!" You see, because her ugliness is of an order different and more intense than the normal motherly ugliness.

Q: Mr. Romney, you have your hand up.

ROMNEY: What Ann Coulter said has no place in our contemporary debate. And you can quote me on that. In fact, my consultants say you must. Also, they say my hair is a negative. How can that be? My wife says it's very Brigham Young.

Q: Mr. Edwards, you were the subject of Ann Coulter's slur this weekend. How do you respond?

EDWARDS: I will not be intimidated by Ann Coulter. I stand proudly as a supporter of gay, lesbian and transgendered people. In fact, I will soon be having an open house at my new mansion for every single gay, lesbian and transgendered person in the United States. I fear we may be short one guest room so two people will have to double up.

CLINTON: That's so "Fried Green Tomatoes"!

OBAMA: Edwards, your house is so big my mama who is so fat - you remember, from the joke I told at a moment that preceded this one - couldn't sit all the way around it.

Q: Vice President Gore?

GORE: I must register my strong concern about the carbon footprint of John Edwards' house. The way he's going, he will soon be using more electricity than I do, and that's just wrong.

Q: Well, there you have it. Join us again next month. We'll keep doing this until we have some nominees.

CLINTON: Y'all come back now, y'hear?
