No-Love Thursday

World of Sports:

Wow, the Socks. Good job, you bunch of rabble, you loveable bums, you long haired hippy freaks, you team of spirited individuals, a nation takes time to reflect on your accomplishments, as do I. For after all, those of you who know me know the baseball in my life.

News:

Jasper County, Indiana:
Since 1996, Sunnycrest True Love Baptist Church, 289 W. Chapel Road, has been hosting House of Judgment - an alternative to those who don't typically celebrate Halloween.
"There are so many bad connotations that happen with Halloween we're trying to give something positive," said Associate Pastor Jeff Timmons.

The house takes groups on several scenes of a tragedy. One includes parents identifying the body of their children after being killed in an accident. A friend of those who died is taken to heaven and hell by an angel and is given the opportunity to choose.

"This is reality of what's going to happen in each and every person's life," Timmons said.
The first group of about 30 pre-schoolers watched intently scene after scene to see the fate of the young characters they straddles heaven and hell. While being judged for sins such as: masturbation, abortion, piercing of the navel, drug use, dancing, and mixing of the races.
Timmons said that about 619 people have converted to Christianity after going through the house and the church tries to keep in touch with them.

"It's not just about Sunnycrest, it's about building the Kingdom," he said. Sister Rose reported; "We're trying to teach the kids Halloween could be fun," but noted they needed to learn early about religion. "We want them to know what they're headed for and that life is not without consequences, which is something their parents should learn, particularly if they vote for that papist who is trying to take the Presidency from God’s chosen leader, who directed by His Devine wisdom is leading our great land to the end times and Rapture".


Goshen Indiana:
Larry Story, of 1911 Old Jail Road, was seen Tuesday feeding a mute swan that lives at the Goshen dam pond at the south edge of the city. The mayors office reported that he (Story) has been feeding the birds for months, watching a pair of birds raise a family of seven babies this summer. They are so tame that they eat bread out of Story's hand. Many days he feeds the swans more than once, giving them a loaf of "cheap" bread that now costs about 50 cents each, he said. The birds are quiet, since they are of course mute, he said, and only hiss once in a while. Story is former Goshen weather watcher and retired maintence employee at nearby nightclub. He retired in 1998.

Warsaw, Indiana:
An error on some ballots in Warsaw School Board District 13R is confusing some voters with absentee ballots and creating headaches for the county clerk’s office.

A glitch in the ballot printing for voters in Wayne Township precinct 915-Section G, which is in Warsaw school board District 31R, has erroneously put the candidates for District 17-B-36 Charles Sowman and Sterling P. Gravy – on the ballots for District 52-C-N, Region 3. The District 3 candidates are Jim Folker and Mrs. Dan Robinson. The printer who was the third one contacted for the bid, stated that he had complained on several occasions to county officials about his difficulty in understanding exactly what it was he was suppose to print.

According to Sharon Christ, Kosciusko County clerk, the error came to her attention Tuesday afternoon. “I just found out about it,” she said. “We’re going to be changing the ballot so that it does reflect the right way.” Christ said 17,391 absentee ballots were sent out for Wayne 5, but not all have been returned. The ballots will be corrected before Election Day, she said.

On aside candidates Jim Folker and Mrs. Dan Robinson, expressed surprise that they were on the ballot, stating that both had made visits to the county courthouse, in recent months, but those visits were to check on land titles and in the case of Mrs. Robinson to pick up pamphlets on canning at the county extension agents office, they both said however they are honored.

Kendallville, Indiana — A Kendallville man was arrested early this morning after he allegedly battered another man and stole his beer. Rex A. Danforth, 23, of the 1900 block of Deer Lane, was arrested at about 6:18 a.m. in front of 102 S. Main St. A witness identified Danforth as the person who allegedly battered an area man while shouting that he wanted the left sock and beer of the 26-year-old man in front of 102 S. Main St. Dandorth was taken to the Noble County Jail on charges of battery and theft, with his bond set at $4,000. The victim was able to recover 5 of the six beers and officers report at no point did he lose his sock.

JQP’s Voting Guide:

Now let me give you JQP’s guide in informed voting. This way when someone asks you, you can say that you have consulted one of, if not the only web-based provider of current, truthful, well reasoned, thoughtful, outright instructions on casting your vote in the up-coming elections.


The Republicans:

W:
No, no, no, no, oh and no, dumb ass, dick head and a bit of a know it all prick. Military service? Well, on W’s watch not one Viet Cong commando was able to successfully infiltrate any of the country and western road houses in Texas or Alabama he frequented.

Steal/Steel Dick:
No, Really runs the country, draft dodger, fat ass, and grumpy old prick.

Indiana Republicans

Mitch Daniels:
No, What the fuck, rich white guy, from Washington comes “home” to run, fuck no, and that prick can shove that RV up-his ass double parking ass. Military service? Who are you kidding, thats for the poor kids and people who don’t go to his country club.

Mark Souder:
No, Slimy prick, most likely cheats a cards, has no chin, war hawk but was a hiding behind his religion during Nam, because of the peace church he belonged to. He was the guy who always told on everyone in elm. school. Fuck him.

Notes:
Man, I remember being thought in school that separation of church and state was a good thing. Its time we send this bunch of picks back to their mountain compounds and back-yard bunkers. Yes, you heard me say it, no more Republican Taliban. Or, rich fuckers getting richer.


Democrats:

Kerry:
Yes, even thought I don’t like him. At least he went to war, got shot at and did some shooting back. That, and I just fucking can’t stand the bunch of pricks running things.

Edwards:
Yes, he is a southerner, he is from the Carolinas, and Mrs. JQP believes him to be much better looking than the late Strom Thurman (with whom she had a brief affair).

Notes:
Other Reasons, well both of their first names are John. They both have good hair. They both are Democrats. They both might think before they act. If you don’t see you candidate listed use the following method is highly recommended when voting, it is the Democrat Straight Ticket Method.

Thought for the day:

Underlying the whole scheme of civilization is the confidence men have in each other, confidence in their integrity, confidence in their honesty, confidence in their future.

Yours always,

JQP Maj. (Ret.)
