Default In the Sun Today...Friday March 8,2013

This morning The Daily Sun reported a 53 year old woman took a metal baseball bat to the statue of St. Michael on the grounds of St. Timothy Church.

She was arrested.

If we had banned baseball bats this never would have happened.
We have only our selves to blame.

I thought for a moment it might be a statue of St. Joseph and she was mad because her house hadn't sold.

Baseball bats don't kill statues... people do! The only answer to a bad person with a baseball bat is a good person with a baseball bat!

She was shown on one of the local tv channels and was rambling on and on. Defiantly not all together.

How about this evening on Fox 35 in the crawl at the bottom of the screen they had a short blip about a landscaper in TV being arrested for grand theft and something else (maybe breaking and entering or forced entry). I just checked the web site and of course it is a few days behind except for the major stories.

I can... this has been around a long time. If you bury a statue of St. John upside in your yard, your house will sell fast. It's worked for us. Also, one time we when we wanted to sell a sailboat, we buried a statue of St John upside-down in a pot in the dock box at the marina slip. That worked too!

We don't need to ban baseball bats. We just need to have a 7 day waiting period before we are allowed to buy them. We should also consider baseball bat education seminars before people are allowed to buy a baseball bat,

And no selling of baseball bats over the internet. Or used baseball bats sold privately--a no-no!

(We are going to get this thread kicked off, I just know it.)
