Monday, December 17th, 2007My King S.M. Lockridge (deceased) This isn’t a true podcast, since it’s an embedded YouTube video, but I couldn’t overlook the recording of legendary preacher S.M.

Mystery of the Manger
Friday, December 14th, 2007(Parental gushing alert!) In a constellation of student stars, Judah shined brightest during tonight’s “Mystery of the Manger” Christmas play featuring 1-4 graders at Gateway Christian Academy. (Literally, the stage lights illuminated him most of all.) Pictorial proof:
No Longer Dandy?
Thursday, December 13th, 2007The biggest disappointment in today’s Mitchell Report: Andy Pettitte. That notorious creeps Barroid Bonds, Kevin Brown, Gary Sheffield and even Rocket Roger Clemens were fingered is far less surprising (although having the greatest hitter (Bonds) and pitcher (Clemens) of the Steroid Era exposed in the same report is poetic justice).

Commit green card scams …. Embezzle mail …. Forget about clients …. Use bad judgment …. Display violence on the clock … and off …. Jog in the nude [...]

P, This One’s for You
