Poll
According to a Reuters/Zogby poll released Wednesday, 40 percent of Americans would curb their driving habits if gasoline prices shot up to $3.50 a gallon. I sure this poll was sponsored by the oil companies. Now they know how much to charge.  Think how much gas would cost if Congress didn't give billions of our tax dollars to subsidies the oil companies.

A new poll finds that nearly a quarter of Republicans are unwilling to back top-tier hopefuls Rudy Giuliani, Fred Thompson, John McCain, Mitt Romney, and no one candidate has emerged as the clear front-runner among Christian evangelicals. Ross Perot is at home thinking: "Now is my chance."

Irony
"Money" magazine declared this week that Middleton, Wisconsin, is the "Best Place to Live" in America for 2007. Now that many people will move there, the population will double, the infrastructure will collapse, and there goes the number one rating.

Madness
A woman claims she was attacked for cutting in line at Disney World. Aimee Krause says she and her children had first dibs on Disney's Mad Tea Party ride. When she moved ahead, the woman behind her started hitting her in the head. I think we need to send our church youth down there to help spread Christian values. At least, that is what the youths are telling me.

Donation
Talk show host Oprah Winfrey plans to hold a September 8th fundraiser for Democratic hopeful Barack Obama at her estate near Santa Barbara, California. I bet if she gave one-fifth of her wealth, she could be vice-president.

Barack Obama has raised over 30 millions dollars, the most monies of all the presidential candidates. I think he should be on our board of church fundraising.

From Angola, Indiana, comes word that a family of regulars at a local Pizza Hut liked their waitress so much they left her a ten thousand dollar tip. Why can't things like that happen in our church? I guess we should give our congregation a free side of breadsticks.

Amazing A Viking ship made from ice cream sticks set sail across a Netherlands' lake last week and its stuntman builder hopes to cross the Atlantic later. The 50-foot boat "Thor" was made from 15 million recycled ice-cream sticks glued together by US-born Robert McDonald, his son and more than 5,000 children. He will sail the Atlantic as soon as he gets out of his diabetic coma.

Faith
A 91-year-old Montana women wasn't afraid Last Sunday morning, when a bear got into her log home through an open sliding glass door. Gladys Clark found the bear rummaging through her kitchen cupboards, so she screamed, "What are you doing in my kitchen? Get out of here." And the bear did. I wish more people had that kind of courage and faith as Christians. But I must admit I don't want God to tempt my faith in that way.

Defeats
The Philadelphia Phillies reached a milestone this week, losing their 10,000th game. The ten thousand defeats took 125 years to achieve. The Philadelphia Phillies' management boasted, "Just wait till next century."

Wrong
NFL star Michael Vick was in indicted by a federal grand jury on Tuesday on charges of sponsoring a dog-fight operation so grisly the losing dogs either died in the pit or sometimes where electrocuted, drowned, or shot. I think we have found the Anti-Christ.
