| “The Son of God
perfectly knows and understands, for He felt and bore our burdens before
we ever did. And because He paid the ultimate price and bore that
burden, He has perfect empathy and can extend to us His arm of mercy in
so many phases of our life. He can reach out, touch, succor—literally
run to us—and strengthen us to be more than we could ever be and help us
to do that which we could never do through relying upon only our own
power.”

01/14/15 - "Court reporters. Will make you LOL":
| These are from a book called Disorder in the
American Courts, and are things people actually said in court, word for
word, taken down and now published by court reporters who had the
torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking
place:
ATTORNEY: What was the first thing your husband said to you that
morning?
WITNESS: He said, ‘Where am I, Cathy?’ ATTORNEY: And why did that upset you? WITNESS: My name is Susan! ATTORNEY: What gear were you in at the moment of the impact? WITNESS: Gucci sweats and Reeboks. ATTORNEY: Are you sexually active? WITNESS: No, I just lie there. ATTORNEY: What is your date of birth? WITNESS: July 18th. ATTORNEY: What year? WITNESS: Every year. ATTORNEY: How old is your son, the one living with you? WITNESS: Thirty-eight or thirty-five, I can’t remember which. ATTORNEY: How long has he lived with you? WITNESS: Forty-five years. ATTORNEY: This myasthenia gravis, does it affect your memory at all? WITNESS: Yes. ATTORNEY: And in what ways does it affect your memory? WITNESS: I forget.. ATTORNEY: You forget? Can you give us an example of something you forgot? ATTORNEY: Now doctor, isn’t it true that when a person dies in his sleep, he doesn’t know about it until the next morning? WITNESS: Did you actually pass the bar exam? ATTORNEY: The youngest son, the 20-year-old, how old is he? WITNESS: He’s 20, much like your IQ. ATTORNEY: Were you present when your picture was taken? WITNESS: Are you shitting me? ATTORNEY: So the date of conception (of the baby) was August 8th? WITNESS: Yes. ATTORNEY: And what were you doing at that time? WITNESS: Getting laid ATTORNEY: She had three children , right? WITNESS: Yes. ATTORNEY: How many were boys? WITNESS: None. ATTORNEY: Were there any girls? WITNESS: Your Honor, I think I need a different attorney. Can I get a new attorney? ATTORNEY: How was your first marriage terminated? WITNESS: By death.. ATTORNEY: And by whose death was it terminated? WITNESS: Take a guess. ATTORNEY: Can you describe the individual? WITNESS: He was about medium height and had a beard ATTORNEY: Was this a male or a female? WITNESS: Unless the Circus was in town I’m going with male. ATTORNEY: Is your appearance here this morning pursuant to a deposition notice which I sent to your attorney? WITNESS: No, this is how I dress when I go to work. ATTORNEY: Doctor, how many of your autopsies have you performed on dead people? WITNESS: All of them. The live ones put up too much of a fight. ATTORNEY: ALL your responses MUST be oral, OK? What school did you go to? WITNESS: Oral… ATTORNEY: Do you recall the time that you examined the body? WITNESS: The autopsy started around 8:30 PM ATTORNEY: And Mr. Denton was dead at the time? WITNESS: If not, he was by the time I finished. ATTORNEY: Are you qualified to give a urine sample? WITNESS: Are you qualified to ask that question? And last: ATTORNEY: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: Did you check for blood pressure? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: Did you check for breathing? WITNESS: No.. ATTORNEY: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: How can you be so sure, Doctor? WITNESS: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar. ATTORNEY: I see, but could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless? WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive
and practicing law. |
Thanks, Billy!

a hat, it's plum red with an appealing lace pattern, I figured that a
few air holes would be nice now that it's spring. I put it on and feel
like a cranberry in the snow, and I wonder if they can see me from the
moon. Me and the Great Wall.”

We Shall Overcome
Lyrics derived from Charles Tindley's gospel song "I'll
Overcome Some Day" (1900), and opening and closing melody
from the
19th-century spiritual "No More Auction Block for Me" (a song that dates to
before the Civil War). According
to Professor Donnell King of Pellissippi State
Technical Community College (in Knoxville, Tenn.), "We Shall Overcome"
was
adapted from these gospel songs by "Guy Carawan, Candy Carawan, and a couple of
other people associated
with the Highlander Research and Education Center,
currently located near Knoxville, Tennessee. I have in my possession
copies of
the lyrics that include a brief history of the song, and a notation that
royalties from the song go to support the Highlander Center."
We shall
overcome
We shall
overcome
We shall overcome some day
Deep in my heart
I do
believe
We shall overcome some day
CHORUS:
We'll walk hand
in hand
We'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand some day
We shall all be
free
We shall all be free
We shall all be free some day
We are not
afraid
We are not afraid
We are not afraid some day
We are not
alone
We are not alone
We are not alone some day
The whole wide
world around
The whole wide world around
The whole wide world around some day
We shall
overcome
We shall overcome
We shall overcome some day
