The late Pope John Paul George and Ringo moved a major step closer to sainthood on Sunday. A French nun who suffered from Parkinson's disease but whose inexplicable cure has been attributed to John Paul George and Ringo’s intercession with God to perform a miracle, thus providing the grounds for his beatification.
Now for the late Pope JPG and R to reach sainthood, they need to find another miracle that he performed. You would think with as many people who suffer from Parkinson’s around the world, he could have healed just ONE more person. I think the late Pope John Paul George and Ringo is going to go down as a one heal wonder.
Here is a guy who needs another kind of beatification, (I am talking about beat upon with large sticks), Texas Attorney General Gregg Abbott. Anthony Graves is a fellow who spent 18 years in prison, most of it on death row, for a crime that he didn’t commit. The state is refusing to pay Mr. Graves his $80,000 a year compensation for every year that he spent in prison because an error in the order giving him his release didn’t contain the words “Actual innocence.”
On top of that the Attorney General is garnishing part of Mr. Graves’s wages for not paying child support while he was in prison. For more on this story check out http://juanitajean.com/
Just when I think people can’t get any dumber or meaner, Gregg Abbott has reminded that there are some real assholes out there. As far as Saints, I’ll take the New Orleans Saints any day of the week.
Stay tuned for future adventures.
Amen Brother
