#1 Note the denomination. It aint us Catholics

The second-ranking leader of the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland, Bishop Heather Cook, 58, whose blood-alcohol level tested at .22 after the wreck, nearly triple Maryland's legal limit for driving will be charged with vehicular manslaughter, drunken driving and other counts stemming from a hit-and-run crash that killed a bicyclist on a sunny Saturday afternoon

Court records show a deputy stopped Cook in 2010 and she was so intoxicated yhat she couldn't finish a field sobriety test because she might fall and hurt herself. Cook registered .27 percent blood-alcohol content that incident. Also there were two small bags of marijuana in the vehicle, along with paraphernalia, and a bottle of wine and a bottle of liquor.

Way to go Episcopalians - following the Anglicans down the drain.

"Know what an Episcopalian is?
He's a Catholic who flunked his Latin"

#14 Strange choice for bishop. I wonder what she disposed of after she fled the scene. If you hit and run somebody, why return with your car full of evidence?

#15 Frankly, The fault is not within the stars, nor the filtre, it is in our heart. Hit the paypal button with a pure heart and a tidy sum and try again.
