Bush's War and Jesus' Strippers
While in the throes of self-pity I missed a few things worth commenting on: such as Rush Limbaugh's drug problem, May Day, the division within the Catholic, and Baptist churches, and numerous idiotic remarks by the various idiots around the World.
But, two things that definitely need mentioning are yesterday's anniversary of "Mission Accomplished," and Jesus' stripper.
In a speech on Sunday, President Bush displayed his typical lying-through-my-teeth rhetoric on how well things were going in Iraq, but also noted that there was a lot of hard fighting ahead. This of course stands in stark contrast to a speech he gave three years ago yesterday standing beneath the now famous "Mission Accomplished" banner aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln during which Bush stated that major combat operations in Iraq were finished and: "The tyrant has fallen and Iraq is free." The free
In the three years since that rosy little speech/photo-op Iraq has sure been a mess.
Since Bush's stupid little speech there have been 2,258 US military deaths in Iraq; 104 deaths from the UK's military, and another 110 dead soldiers from military units of other 'coalition' countries. Then there's the almost 18,000 wounded American service personnel, some of whom are permanently disabled at the ripe old age of 19.
Then we have the 38,861 known Iraqi civilians killed and the many, many others wounded, and the as yet unknown number of Iraqi and foreign insurgent fighters who have died.
Aside from the daily deaths and bombings, how is this free country doing? Well they still don't have a stable government, are on the verge of a civil war along religious lines, most still do not have reliable water and power supplies, and very few are happy with their new masters in Washington.
But, as Bush has said there must be sacrifices in his "war on terror."
So how is this war going? Well Bush has managed to create more terrorists by his stupidity and actions than Bin Laden could have ever dreamed of having, and these terrorists have increased their attacks by an enormous amount over the last three years. So, since I'm not on drugs like Rush Limbaugh and many of Bush's other supporters, I would call his war so far a dismal failure.
But now lets do like ole' Bushie tends to do when faced with this issue, and change subjects.
I found an article yesterday about a woman who has gone from the lucrative world of the sex industry, to the even more lucrative world of religion.
Heather Veitch, a former stripper and soft-porn actress turned "hair color specialist," is now in her new missionary position for Jesus Christ. Ms. Veitch, along with another former stripper, and a part time school teacher have set up a non-denominational Christian church near Los Angeles called JC Girls Girls Girls. JC and company claims a membership of over 2,100 parishioners, do shows in Las Vegas, have their own website, and have been endorsed by the California Southern Baptist Convention and none other than Pat Robertson.

Their website offers to help you learn how to be "fully pleasured, fully excited, fully adored, and fully loved." They have monthly pin-ups, a forum, links to similar sites such as xxxchurch.com and of course a donations page (all donations are used to benefit ministry and outreach efforts of course).
These women have definitely discovered what a wonderful scam the whole Christianity scheme can be, and seem to have fully embraced the wisdom from the following excerpt from the Queensryche song Spreading the Disease (from the album "Operation Mindcrime", 1988):
And please note that I am not bashing these women in any way. I think that it is wonderful that they have taken such an ignorance riddled philosophy like evangelical Christianity, and are making a tax-free profit from it. My hat is off to you girls. Keep up the good work, and keep the faith.

Manipulate the people for the money they pay.
Selling skin,
Selling God,
The numbers look the same on their credit cards."

I'm just wondering if this stripper/teacher combination is a common one. Or is it a Christian thing?

Well it's a little known fact that Mary worked her way through Mother-of-God school by stripping, so there does seem to be some precedent.
