Quote Of The Week

"See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me."
Isaiah 49:16 (i.e., the Bible passage that Sarah Palin quotes to justify her use of notes scribbled on the palm of her hand).

The Bible doesn't refer to teleprompters, so I guess that's why Palin has no problem attacking Obama for using them.

Au contraire, you're forgetting Bullshiticus 5:16 "And the lord doth say . . . (the lord waiteth for the teleprompter) Verily, you shall all be smoten"

Ha! You fell into the exact same trap that Origen fell into when he was translating Theodotion's version back in 427 AD.

Don't feel bad, though -- Bullshiticus has been giving people fits for centuries. [It turns out that the correct translation for the word you thought was "teleprompter" is actually "Banana Daiquiri"]

That makes sense. Any lord I know can and would appreciate a bannana daiquiri.
