Welcome to DU.

2. hehe - thanks!

I've been lurking here since the election season when I was campaigning for Obama and finally decided to join and donate to DU.

It seemed like an appropriate first post for me - I'm sitting here watching Life of Brian (to be followed by The Holy Grail), sipping coffee, munching beignets and smoking an easter fattie!

Enjoy the day!

3. Thanks for the light side of Easter.

If this were on another forum, I'd give it a K&R! Happy day!

6. Thanks! I just saw some great Easter TV.

The MSNBC series American Greed just featured a story about the Great Church Car Scam. ("Jesus wants you to have that Mercedes-Benz for just $5,000!")

Two young men in California ripped off churches--in 47 out of the 50 states--to the tune of 24 million dollars.

I don't want to post too many SPOILERS and ruin the show for you. But this national cash machine finally crashed because of a skeptical woman who happened to be the Police Chief in Higginsville, MO--population 4,000.

What an incredible story and an incredible mix of gullibility and greed with a religious veneer. I read the book about it several years ago, and the author is interviewed in the show.

The name of the book: God Wants You To Roll!
