Just when you thought the Anglican Communion was looking a little scary, here's yet more fun-facts-to-know-and-tell about Tom Delay! (Read it all in Sunday's Washington Post but here's the gist:)
Tom DeLay may look as though he's finished because he is quitting Congress, facing a trial on felony political corruption charges in Texas and being targeted by federal prosecutors in the Jack Abramoff scandal. But that would be dead wrong: DeLay recently told one of his pastors that God wanted him to leave Congress in part because He has bigger plans for DeLay. That pastor, the Rev. Rick Scarborough, introduced DeLay to a Christian conference just last week, saying, "This is a man, I believe, God has appointed . . . to represent righteousness in government."
So mark those words. DeLay may be leaving Congress, but he will be back with a vengeance, in a new and potentially more powerful role, because he is a ferociously determined man who believes he is on a politico-religious mission from God.

Just what we don't need, another Pharisee. I give thanks that Christ's grace and His will for true Christianity will always supercede the pseudo-religiosity of the far right radicals in this country who are no better than the far right radicals of other prominent religions who think they are superior to the rest of us redeemed sinners. Geez, Tom, give it up already!
Dear God, deliver us.
