This from my favorite satirical online newspaper - the onion. But sometimes it's all too true.
CHARLESTON, SC—Churchgoer Brad Thaden, 48, reportedly tipped God a little something extra Sunday, claiming that the Almighty had done a better job than usual that week, especially with the weather and his children's behavior.
"Hey Big Guy, here's a five-spot for ya," Thaden silently prayed while placing the bill in the church collection plate. "If you keep it up, and make sure Mom doesn't have one of her spells at dinner on Wednesday, there's more where that came from."
According to God, five dollars is "basically nothing" after He tips out the the priest, the pope, the altar boys, and the Holy Spirit.
Somewhere in the noise is a song. Somewhere in the cacophony is a melody—a sweet sound. The ensemble is our attempt to discover the rhythms, the groanings and the eureka moments of life amongst the noise.

Premature celebration
You were running a good race. Who cut in on you and kept you from obeying the truth?
Well, actually mate, you did it all on your own.

Not feeling 100%?
Forget Rob DeCastella and some multi-vitamin, here's the guy you want to go see.
If only the sign was a little longer so he could expand further on the 'etc..' I'm sure people get the idea though...those conditions are all in roughly the same ballpark.

Icebergs, Araldite and Dessicated Coconut
Paul Keating made a caustic and clever return to form in a recent political interview with ABC Radio. Then Red Symons got involved. The bi-partisan folk at Cacophony present it for your mirth and pleasure.
For those overseas visitors unaware of the characters being mentioned, Keating (the one doing the talking) is a former Australian Prime Minister, Howard is the current Australian Prime Minister, Costello and Rudd are PM wannabes and Burke...um, he's a guy who wears a hat.
Enjoy!

Pastor Buck & the Power of Puppetry
Look, it's no Impact World Tour [link] event, but I'm pretty sure it's hard-hitting and challenging to the core.
