Confessions of a Recovering Pharisee

[WKYC]

A bullet tore through a Geauga County home here Sunday night while a young family was inside. A deer slug came through the east side of the home, traveled through several walls and came to a stop after striking a Bible in a bedroom closet.

Talk about the Shield of faith?

A university employee who claimed she had been continually taunted because of her chronic flatulence has lost a discrimination claim at a tribunal. The unnamed woman told an employment tribunal in Leeds that staff at the city’s Metropolitan University made cruel jokes about her condition.

The woman said she suffered from severe irritable bowel syndrome.

Her claims of disability and racial discrimination and constructive dismissal were rejected by the panel.

The tribunal heard one of the woman’s colleagues had said the office window had to be opened because of the smell and “we shouldn’t have to put up with it”.

A colleague at Leeds Metropolitan University said of her: “She stinks the place out.”

Saints were psychotic and advances in modern medicine have essentially wiped them off the planet. That’s “the view” of comedian Joy Behar, as expressed on national television Wednesday.

“I have a theory that you can’t find any saints anymore because of psychotropic medication. I think that [in] the old days, the saints were hearing voices and they didn’t have any Thorazine to calm them down,” Behar said on ABC’s daily chatfest. “Now that we have all of this medication available to us, you can’t find a saint anymore.”

Does Ms. Behar’s theory apply to comedians?

What do you think?

A substitute teacher who worked her first day Wednesday at Bruce Elementary School took off all her clothes from the waist down in front of a class of fourth-graders, according to school officials.  She has since been pulled from the substitute list.

“We think it’s best she not return to substitute in the district”
