Post-primary stuff

Perusing the news this morning, I saw more and more signs that the primary may be coming to an end. Rumors are flying that Wesley Clark called Hillary last night to urge her to drop out, and another said that she will be firmly out by June 15.

One of Sully's readers had the funniest take on the fact that Hillary seems to be the only one at the party who doesn't realize it is over:

Hillz is now that person at the party who's had 6 too many jello shots, is talking abnormally loudly and is incapable of understanding the fact that she has overstayed her welcome. And she's starting to hiccup.

C'mon Hillz, let's get your coat and we'll walk with you to the door..."

Heh.

Evidently there is a bit of infighting within the conservative wing of the SBC. Shocking, I know. Evidently, President Frank Page suggested that the SBC is in decline because some perceive the SBC as "mean-spirited, hurtful, and angry." You had me at "mean-spirited," Frank.

Well, Paige "Shootem if you got 'em" Patterson is not happy, and goes out of his way to prove that his mean-spirit is exactly what God likes.

The present state cannot please our Lord, but it is a safe bet that He is more pleased about what we are attempting globally than about the social and environmentally based programs of moderate and liberal churches.

Yes, of course. Every social justice program makes the Baby Jesus cry. Oh, and people who criticize Paige are not "real" Christians:

But I cannot help but suspect that an incipient post-modern influence is the womb from which part of this criticism arises. The world and much of "Christianity" is irritated that Southern Baptists on one hand continue to oppose abortion, the practicing of homosexuality, gender confusion, the alcoholic beverage industry that annually kills, harms, and creates so much sorrow in the social order, and on the other hand support biblical role assignments in the home and church.

I am sure glad Paige is there for us.

In an almost related note (something about flaming self-righteousness), Tony calls our attention to a proposed National Ten Commandments Day. That will show them. No word if the proposed "beautiful stone artwork tablets" are small enough to actually pummel sinners with. But we can only hope.

Let's call this the "even a blind pig finds an acorn now and then" category. Chris Matthews chastizes Rush Limbaugh for "project chaos" (or whatever Rushbo is calling it--where the drug addict calls for Republicans to corrupt the Democratic primaries--oh, and he also said that it was his dream that the Democratic Convention end in massive riots).

“I have to offer a ‘Keith-style’ Special Comment on that. Anyone who voted to screw up the political system of this country with the purpose of mischief should carry that with them the rest of their lives. What a ridiculous way to use the vote for which people fought and died — to use that vote to make mischief. I hope you’re proud of yourself.”
