The Poor Don't Have a Prayer |

Praying that those who "continue to struggle" (i.e., those who aren't rich) will not be made “losers under new tax laws” counts as unacceptably political speech. You heard it from Ayn-Rand-acolyte Paul Ryan first, ladies and gentlemen.

A reader comment on the linked article, with the handle carlos_netanyu:
Quote:News flash,...Christian priest gets fired for being Christ-like .
IN the age of Trump, who needs the Onion.

"Oh, my people had many gods. There was Conformity, and Authority, and Expense Account, and Opinion. And there was Status, whose symbols were many, and who rode in the great chariot Cadillac, which was almost a god itself. And there was Atombomb, the dread destroyer, who would some day come to end the world." — Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen, H. Beam Piper

Idina Menzel Lyrics
"A Hero Comes Home"
(from "Beowulf" soundtrack)
Out of the mist of history
He'll come again
Sailing on ships across the sea
To a wounded Nation
Signs of a saviour
Like fire on the water
It's what we prayed for
One of our own
Just wait
Though wide he may roam
Always
A hero comes home
He goes where no one has gone
But always
A hero comes home
Deep in the heart of darkness sparks
A dream of light
Surrounded by hopelessness
He finds the will to fight
There's no surrender
Always remember
It doesn't end here
We're not alone
Just wait
Though wide he may roam
Always
A hero comes home
He goes where no one has gone
But always
A hero comes home
And he will come back on the crimson tide
Dead or alive
And even though we know the bridge has burned
He will return
He will return
Just wait
Though wide he may roam
Always
A hero comes home
He knows of places unknown
Always
A hero comes home
Someday they'll carve in stone
"The hero comes home"
He goes and comes back alone
But always
A hero comes home
Just wait
Though wide he may roam
Always
A hero comes home
Since this song is newer than the ones than Doug has heard on his journey, It's pretty obvious what this one will do.
