News, name dropping, trees, Jesus, Republican liars

1. All Saints Church in Pasadena (my church! whoo hoo!) is under investigation by the IRS because a Christian pastor attacked the notion of preemptive war. Imagine that. Those kooky followers of Jesus's message...Meanwhile, right wing "churches" are all telling their congregations that Jesus is a country club Republican and to vote accordingly. Any concern at the country club that he has a Jewish mother has not been noted - There have been announcements from pulpits in Texas churches that Jesus was seen eating ham sandwiches on the back nine with George Allen. So all is well.
2. The Dodgers are in the playoffs!
3. Mayor V. kicked off a million tree initiate in Los Angeles. Then kicked a dog that got in between him and a TV camera. But we still love ya Mayor V! Finish the damn subway!
4. My Pal Wendy has a new web site and a new book coming out in a week. Whoo Hoo!
5. My pal Joshua is back from his tour in Europe.
6. Republicans lie all the time about everything. Here. Here. eHere.
