Look up, my children, for a new light is shining!

It is appropriate, I think, on this pagan day of goblins, ghouls, wights and wizards, for me to bring forth and cry aloud joyous tidings. For this very day, my flock, I have received my ordination and have joined god's legions as a minister in the Progressive Universal Life Church. My spiritual Leader, Jack J. Stahl (pictured at right) has welcomed me and placed within me the divine flame. A New Star is risen!

So on this day, as Satan and his brethren despoil our beautiful spaceship Earth with orgies of candy and Harry Potter-worship, know that your mortal souls are now held and watched over by a new and mighty Shepherd: Reverend Dan.

Now I think it wise to turn the reins over to Pastor Jack himself. So hear the words of the Sacramento Saint, and revel in their divinity, that we might know more of his sprawling and largely ineffable designs. What's really at the root of your vast spirituality, Pastor Jack?

"In 1969, when I was only 6 years old, "This is Tom Jones" first aired on television. Every week I would sit in front of the TV hypnotized by this gyrating God. Jones' voice made me feel as if I was surrounded by angels. It is a feeling I still experience today. It is a inner peace not easy to describe. It is spiritual.

I have attended more than 200 Tom Jones concerts. For me, it is a very spiritual experience. The stage is indeed Tom Jones' ministry.

Today, I am the leader of The Progressive Universal Life Church in Sacramento, CA.. While doing my spiritual work, I always listen to the angelic voice of singer Tom Jones. I perform sermons, marriages, baptisms, funerals & exorcisms with the aid of Jones' music. I also dress up & dance like Tom Jones during church services.

In 1997, I was voted "Strangest Person in America" by the nationally syndicated television show Strange Universe." (emphasis added, comments taken from "Pastor Jack and the Church of Tom Jones")

Please feel free to read more of my new spirital leader's bold and refreshing commentary on worship here and here.

Well, I think we can all agree who the holiest Jackblogger is (sorry, skirt). I'm available, as Pastor Jack indicated, for weddings, baptisms, funerals and, of course, exorcisms. Rates vary, offer void where prohibited.


Reverend Dan out!

    These are real quotes I heard today while in attendance at a conference with a large number of very prominent/distinguished PhDs & MDs.

    "Ahhh....that's true....It would be bad for the terrorists to blow their load on a small target.....in light of Sept 11th, a small target would be a waste of the blow, so to speak."

    Awesome.

    This particular plenary speaker went on to say that the realization that the availability of chemical agents of opportunity for terrorist attacks has grown "wicked fast since 9/11."

    This scientist is clearly a skater/surfer/rollerblader.

    regarding two posts ago....

    ok, the diebold connection is suspect and definitely represents a conflict of interest (especially in ohio where ken blackwell's a stockholder) but can we collectively admit that the last election was lost by kerry being a horrible candidate who ran a horrible campaign and not by some grand conspiracy?

    democrats deserved to lose the last election. they got what was coming to 'em. they're a giant pack of swollen colostomy bags, swollen only slightly less than those of their competitors.

    discuss...?

    one of the funniest headlines i've read lately.

    Sunday, October 15, 2006

    Amid widespread panic in the Republican establishment about the coming midterm elections, there are two people whose confidence about GOP prospects strikes even their closest allies as almost inexplicably upbeat: President Bush and his top political adviser, Karl Rove....The question is whether this is a case of justified confidence -- based on Bush's and Rove's electoral record and knowledge of the money, technology and other assets at their command -- or of self-delusion.
