COMMENTS...
HOLLYWOOD-God bless
America, and how’s everybody?
Phoenix endured a Labor Day
weekend which saw the pump price
of gasoline hit three dollars a gallon in Scottsdale. It did-
n’t go unnoticed overseas. Saddam Hussein released an
audiotape Monday accusing Dick Cheney of gassing his
own people.
Canada announced Friday that all passport photos must
show the Canadian with a serious look on his face. This is
an expensive idea. Jim Carrey is a Canadian and Warner
Bros, loses sixty million dollars whenever he makes a seri-
ous picture.
New York former governor Mario Cuomo publicly
urged Senator Hillary Clinton Sunday to run for U.S. pres-
ident in 2004. It’s not too late. Hillary Clinton has tremen-
dous name recognition, and if she can she overcome that
she may have a chance.
Democratic candidates spent Labor Day in Iowa attack-
ing Howard Dean. The man is absolutely amazing.
Howard Dean is the only doctor ever to raise six million
dollars on the Internet without writing Viagra prescrip-
tions for complete strangers.
Rush Limbaugh begins Thursday as analyst on NFL
Sunday Countdown on ESPN. It greatly expands his influ-
ence. There are three television sets inside the Oval Office
so President Bush can watch ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN
Classic at the same time.
President Bush dropped his Scottish terrier Barney on
the tarmac at the Waco Airport Saturday. He had him and
then the dog just slipped through his hands. For a change,
the president was able to grab the dog without posting a
$25 million reward.
President Bush gave a Labor Day talk to the
International Union of Operating Engineers. He doesn’t
back off from controversy. Labor Day is the only day of
the year he admits that all four of his great-
grandfathers fought in the Union Army.
President Bush flew back to Washington and attended
St. John’s Church Sunday morning. He attends his fami-
ly’s Congregational Church in Maine and the Episcopal
Church in Washington but he was raised Presbyterian and
calls himself a Methodist. When Anglo-Saxons practice
multi-culturalism no corner of Britain goes unrepresented.
Gray Davis brought a news camera crew with him to
church Sunday. Talk about miracles. Gray Davis was
asked to read from Revelations and he just happened to
have a copy of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Oui magazine
interview in his coat pocket.
Arnold Schwarzenegger said he cannot remember a Oui
magazine interview where he bragged about engaging in
group sex. It put to rest all questions about his party label.
Arnold Schwarzenegger isn’t a Republican or a Democrat,
he’s a Kennedy.
Arnold Schwarzenegger opposed giving driver’s licens-
es to illegal immigrants Monday. Gray Davis and Cruz
Bustamante promptly accused Arnold of being bigoted.
The tension over illegal immigration in California is so
high that Kobe Bryant could get an all-white jury in
Colorado next month and nobody would notice or care.
Cruz Bustamante refused to renounce his ties to the
Chicano club MEChA. They say Europeans introduced
conquest, genocide, venereal disease and alcoholism to
the New World. And to think that today’s teenagers think
they invented rave parties.
Madonna delighted the MTV Awards Friday by giving
a long wet kiss to Britney Spears. It’s right in synch with
the governor’s race. In California you never know what
kind of fruits or nuts you will be having with dinner until
the doorbell rings.
SOMEDAY, MY SON,
ALL THIS WILL BE YOURS.

Has Jesus delayed His return? Lifescope says, “Don’t be
caught off guard!”
Jesus said, “Are you a wise and faithful servant of the
Lord? Blessings on you if I return and find you faithfully
doing your work. But if you are evil and say to yourself, ‘My
Lord has delayed His coming for awhile,’ and begin oppress-
ing your fellow servants, partying and getting drunk, your
Lord will arrive unannounced and unexpected, and severely
whip you and send you off to the judgment of the hypocrites;
there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
I tell you this, my brothers: an earthly body made of flesh
and blood can-not get into God’s kingdom. These perishable
bodies of ours are not the right kind to live forever. But I am
telling you this strange and wonderful secret: we shall not all
die, but we shall all be given new bodies! It will all happen
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, when the last trum-

PASTOR LEADS MARRIED WOMAN INTO
TEMPTATION AND MORE
DEAR ABBY: 1 have a terrible problem. I had an affair
with my pastor. (I’ll call him Pastor Jones.) It began as a
one-night stand but lasted for more than a year. Pastor
Jones is married with six children. I’m also married and
the mother of two.
Unfortunately, I have fallen deeply in love with him. We
both know it’s wrong. We have prayed together many
times, asking God to forgive us for our sexual relation-
ship and for breaking the Seventh Commandment. But no
pet is blown. But concerning the times and the seasons, matter how hard we fought temptation, somehow we
brethren . . . you your-selves know perfectly that the day of
the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say,
“Peace and safetv!” then sudden destruction comes upon
them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall
not escape.
[Yes,] the Day of the Lord is surely coming, as unexpect-
edly as a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a
terrible noise and the heavenly bodies will disappear in fire
and the earth and everything on it will be burned up.
[Jesus said,] “Take heed that no one deceives you. For
many will come in My name, saying, ‘1 am the Christ,’ and
will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumors of
wars. See that you are not troubled . . .”
... In the last days there will come scoffers who will . . .
laugh at the truth. This will be their line of argument: “So stronger than ever
always ended up between the sheets.
It became too painful for me to attend church on
Sundays, knowing that I’d had carnal sex on Saturday
night with the man speaking from the pulpit. I was also
uncomfortable watching other church members tithe 10
percent of their hard-earned money, unaware that Pastor
Jones was pocketing a sizable percentage to finance his
lavish lifestyle.
I finally stopped attending his church. I don’t believe in
playing with God, and I want so badly to do what is right.
However. Pastor Jones still comes around my workplace
to “visit,” and 1 continue to have a weakness for him. He
is smart, funny and very handsome. My temptation is

Jesus promised to come back, did He? Then where is He?
He’ll never come! . . . Everything has remained exactly as it
was since the first day of creation.” Nevertheless we, accord-
ing to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in
which righteousness dwells.
The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” . . . Let the thirsty
one come ... and drink the Water of Life without charge.

UP
DEAR FALLEN: Pastor Jones is a thief and a hypocrite
who deserves to be atoning in a correctional institution
rather than preaching in a house of God.
Ask God for forgiveness, and also for the strength to stay
away from the “Pastard.” Then talk to your husband. The
two of you should report Pastor Jones to your church
headquarters. They need to know that the man they have
in the pulpit is dipping into the collection plate ... and
more.

DEAR ABBY: A few months ago, I met “Barry and
Maryann,” a married couple who work in the same office
I do. They’ve been married for 10 years. We’ve become
good friends and the three of us spend a lot of time
socially. Barry and Maryann have both confided to me
that they’re unhappy in their marriage.
This morning, Barry called me at home and told me that
