#1 Brings back an old Flip Wilson routine, with Rev. Leroy -

On his weekly TV show he portrayed a variety of offbeat characters, one of whom was Rev. Leroy, a fiery preacher who was always trying to stir up his somewhat lackluster congregation. In one skit Leroy sensed that he was bombing. All during his sermon he couldnât get a single "Amen" or "Hallelujah." He knew he was in serious trouble when the collection plates were passed and they came back empty. Not a man to be easily discouraged, he sent them out again---with the same result. Feeling a bit desperate now, he said to his flock, "This church must progress. I know you want this church to progress." That prompted a few murmurs of agreement so Leroy pressed on, "Now before this church can progress, it has to crawl, this church has got to crawl." And the congregation began to get excited. "Make it crawl, Reverend, make it crawl!" they called back. Leroy went on, "After this church has crawled, it has got to pick itself up and start to walk. This church has got to walk!" And the people yelled back, "Make it walk, Reverend, make it walk!" On a roll now, Leroy thundered, "And after this church has walked, it has to get up and run. This church has got to get up and run!" The congregation rose to its feet: "Make it run, Reverend, make it run!" And then Leroy decided to close the deal: "Brothers and sisters, if this church is goin' to run, itâs goin' to need money. Itâs goin' to take money for this church to run!" And all the people replied, "Let it crawl, Reverend, let it crawl!"

Seems the congregation has left the building.

#2 How did Hillary blow through the $100,000,000 she had; borrow $5 million from personal funds, and end up $7.6 million in debt? It's that damned double entry Whitewater accounting system.

#3 John: I bet you chose the wording of that first sentence very carefully.
It's all Bush's fault, that damned sub-prime lending meltdown did it.......

#4 "Her campaign last month dismissed those debts as a matter of bookkeeping. "These are not true debts accruing by the campaign, but simply unpaid invoices," said spokesman Blake Zeff."

Ok then, Blakey-baby; try this. "All services C.O.D." How's that for curing that unpaid invoice thingy?
