(1,975 posts)11. Wow. I've had this for a couple months but didn't think anyone else saved it.
Frauds, grifters and assholes all seem to group together, don't they?
I've can remember watching Jerry Falwell on TV back in the day (70's) as he raffled off bricks and solicited donations for Liberty U's nascent gymnasium. He declared his intention was to someday beat Notre Dame in football.
Grifty Heresy!
I've had it in for those guys ever since.
