Deep Thoughts From A Shallow Man
I heard this short song video yesterday and it has stuck with me and made me laugh so much over the last 36 hours that I’ve decided to make it the official song to indicate that the post you’re about to read is plain, good old fun. I’ll use it if I post something funny and I can’t find a photo, illustration or video that fits the topic. Special thanks to The Stephanie Miller Show and Rocky Mountain Mike.
In life, I’ve learned there are certain things you shouldn’t do because they’re just tempting fate. Most of them are fairly obvious, like staying outside during a thunderstorm, walking under a ladder when someone is painting or crossing an interstate highway in a busy metro area during rush hour.
I think I’ve found a new one.
And that would be being anywhere near Donald Trump.
It was bad enough when he went to the National Prayer Breakfast (whatever the heck that is) on the day after impeachment hearings ended in his favor and he used the opportunity to insult his opponents by saying, “I don’t like people who use their faith as justification for doing what they know is wrong. Nor do I like people who say ‘I will pray for you’ when they know that’s not so.” (So much for turning the other cheek.)
It was even worse when he had peaceful protestors tear gassed so he could pose for a picture holding a bible in front of St. John’s Episcopal Church.
Now, I don’t know if there is a spiritual three strikes you’re out policy or not, but I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t want to be in the room the next time the man who evangelicals love so much offends whatever diety you happen to believe in by opening his mouth and further co-opting whatever brand of spirituality we all subscribe to. You just never know what’s going to happen or when it’s going to happen, but I wouldn’t want to be in the vicinity when the bad craziness goes down. I hear karmic paybacks are a bitch…..
