&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An ice pack on your knee and heating pad on your shoulder. Oy, don&amp;#39;t ask.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Once again, &lt;a href="http://thenewshole.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/19/419527.aspx"&gt;Keith got redecorated&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Obama &lt;a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/earl-ofari-hutchinson/obama-should-repudiate-an_b_69244.html"&gt;going &amp;quot;on tour&amp;quot; with a ustabe Homo&lt;/a&gt;, but &amp;quot;been cured&amp;quot; kinda guy. And the question would be WHY?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the same topic, &lt;a href="http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/perkins-giuliani-supports-marriage-amendment-2007-10-20.html"&gt;Tony (gag) Perkins says Guiliani is in favor of a same sex marriage ban amendment to the Constitution. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thought the Oral Roberts University scandal was nipped in the bud with Richard Roberts stepping down? Not so fast, &lt;a href="http://jeremiahnorris.wordpress.com/2007/10/06/oral-roberts-university-under-investigation-along-with-richard-and-lindsey-roberts/"&gt;here are the charges.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/10/20/114817/54"&gt;10 reason to love Pete Stark.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Finally, the man that &lt;em&gt;could &lt;/em&gt;have been President-&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;quot;Unfortunately, &amp;lsquo;I told you so,&amp;#39; is an incredibly unsuccessful campaign slogan.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- DNC Chairman Howard Dean, quoted by the&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/21/us/politics/21dean.html?_r=1&amp;amp;amp;pagewanted=1&amp;amp;amp;ei=5088&amp;amp;amp;en=9e192fe5bcac15f8&amp;amp;amp;ex=1350619200&amp;amp;amp;partner=rssnyt&amp;amp;amp;emc=rss&amp;amp;amp;oref=slogin"&gt;New York Times&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://abcnews.go.com/print?id=3741430"&gt;Ruh-roh&lt;/a&gt;, Richard Roberts!   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Oral Roberts University president Richard Roberts has asked the school&amp;#39;s board of regents for a &lt;strong&gt;leave of absence amid accusations of lavish spending at donors&amp;#39; expense and illegal involvement in a political campaign. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yeah, those illegally scandally things tend to disrupt cushy positions, don&amp;#39;t they? But not to worry, he&amp;#39;s praying for a comeback.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;&lt;strong&gt;I pray and believe that in God&amp;#39;s timing,&lt;/strong&gt; and when the Board feels that it is appropriate, I will be back at my post as president.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;But in the meantime, his heart hurts, his family&amp;#39;s hearts hurt, his ego hurts, and his head most likely hurts... a lot. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/18/us/18oral.html?ref=us"&gt;The untrue allegations&lt;/a&gt; have struck a terrible blow in my heart,&amp;rdquo; Dr. Roberts said in a statement. &amp;ldquo;&lt;strong&gt;The untrue allegations of sexual misconduct by my wife have hurt the most. It has broken her heart and the hearts of my children.&amp;rdquo; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Scandal, scandal, go away. Roberts in the clear? No way!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;An Oct. 2 lawsuit filed by three former ORU professors says they were wrongfully dismissed and &lt;strong&gt;alleges the spending at donors&amp;#39; expense, including numerous home remodels and a senior trip to the Bahamas for one daughter on the ministry&amp;#39;s dime. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Selfish, lawbreaking acts tend to have a ripple affect. What ever happened to &amp;quot;Do unto others....&amp;quot;? Especially when it comes Oral&amp;#39;s own kid: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;It also accuses Roberts of &lt;strong&gt;illegal involvement in a local political campaign, which would violate the university&amp;#39;s nonprofit status. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Family values seem to be losing some of their value.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Btw, if you want to catch up on this one from the beginning, go &lt;a href="http://cliffschecter.bravenewfilms.org/blog/15109-tsk-tsk-early-morning-scandal"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="../../blog/15935-more-oral-hi-jinks"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. Paddy fills you in.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
