Mayor, Mayor

Sam Adams, the new mayor of Portland, broke a major barrier when he took office.  He become the first openly gay mayor of  a major US city.

He recently held a press conference where he finally told the truth about a sexual relationship he had with a teenage ex-intern.  This was a relationship he blatantly lied about  a few months ago.  You can catch up on this story by clicking here.

The sexual orientation of Mayor Adams doesn't really interest me.  What bothers me about this situation is that anyone would even consider giving the mayor a pass on this issue.  He should resign immediately.  He shouldn't resign because he's gay.  He should resign because he had sex with an 18 year old and lied about it.

Consider this: What if a 40-something single male mayor of another major city had a sexual relationship with an 18 year old girl and lied about it.  If the truth about that relationship came out, people would be demanding his resignation...and rightly so.

Sam Adams has to go.

Liberals and Their Bumper Stickers

I live in the Portland area.  The picture of this car resonates with me.  In fact, I've probably seen this car.  If not, I've seen dozens like it.  The typical liberal who just has to get their point across.

As I was driving down the road today, I got behind a car that had two bumper stickers on it.  When I read them, I realized I had found the perfect example of someone who follows liberal logic and can't see the stupidity right before their eyes.  I'm just going to tell you what the stickers said.  You tell me if you see the oxymoron...and I can't emphasize "moron" enough.

One sticker said: "Respect humanity, vote progressive."

The sticker right above that said: "Keep abortion legal."

I'm speechless.

My Night as a Game Show Host

That's me.  As Jeff Unworthy...the host of Are You Smarter Than a Junior Church Kid.  I even worked the southern accent the entire time.  We played this Bible trivia game with our congregation in between preachers at our Watchnight Service.  The game went great and it was a ton of fun.

Here are the panel of Junior Church kids the contestants could choose as partners.  If you know the show, Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader, then you basically know how we ran the game.

Here I am pestering one of the contestants.  I also found some "You Might be a Baptist" jokes online that I used during the game.  The whole thing was way too much fun.

My favorite joke: If you think the presence of God is strongest on the back three pews...you might be a Baptist!
