Well, my goodness.

The Rev. Bill Hybels is resigning as chief pastor of the 25,000 member megachurch, Willow Creek Community Church in Chicago.

Happily no sex with animals (see below) was involved but sex with congregants and employees was.

Amusingly, Hybels started off saying that all the claims were lies.

Hybels had previously called the allegations against him “flat-out lies.” He also had said that the multiyear effort by former senior leaders of the church to push for an independent investigation was nothing but “collusion.”

Yeah, that collusion stuff is a nifty new word.

And then there’s the other men in the church.

Jim Tofilon said he believes Hybels was a victim of the #MeToo bandwagon.

“It’s very destructive,” said Tofilon, who has attended the church since 1991. “It worked. It destroyed an old man’s life. Nothing good came out of it. I hope people making the accusations feel satisfied.”

Yeah, damned ole Eve – she made this mess.

Thanks to Carl for the heads up.

Okay, if you ever drive through Louisiana, I need to let you know where you should not take any household pets you may own.

The Louisiana State Legislature voted yesterday to make having sex with animals illegal.  It passed 25 to 10.

Who are the ten who voted against it, you ask? Well, aren’t you lucky because that’s what I do for a living.

Here are the ten:

• LA Senate President Alario
• Allain
• Claitor
• Donahue
• Fannin
• Gatti
• Long
• Mizell
• Perry
• Riser

Next, I went to this page and discovered … ta da! that they are all Repubicans.

Louisiana, where men are men and sheep are afraid.

And that’s the news.

You’ve very welcome.

Can you use Twitter to declare war?

Apparently so.

Too damn bad our president isn’t “nice, new, and smart.”

I know the some guys in congress are working across the aisle to come up with legislation to keep Trump from firing Mueller.  Crap.  Let’s work on a way to stop him from starting a war he has no idea how to end or win.

Who’s keeping count?

Paul Ryan is O-U-T.

Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan will not run for re-election, people close to the Wisconsin lawmaker said Wednesday.

Ryan’s plans have been the source of much speculation amid Republican concerns over keeping their majority in the House of Representatives. Ryan had made tax cuts a centerpiece of his legislative agenda, and Congress delivered on that late last year.

Ryan is not saying why he’s not seeking reelection but I think it’s because of all that stuff about winning so much in Congress that he got tired of winning.

Or, it could be that he expects to be President by November.

Here’s a dandy reminder to your Republicans friends who keep calling this a witch hunt.

It’s hard to call an investigation a “witch hunt” when it has already resulted in 19 individuals being charged with crimes, including five who pleaded guilty and one who’s been sentenced to jail (for 30 days). That’s quite a rap sheet for an ongoing probe.

Lemme see, the Benghazi investigation lasted 17 months and found … diddle squat.

And, in not hardly surprising news, after yesterday’s events Trump says he is “less likely” to be willingly interviewed by Mueller.

And, the hits just keep on coming.   White House national security spokesman Michael Anton stepped down Monday, the first day John Bolton took over as director of the National Security Council, and Tom Bossert, Trump’s top homeland security adviser, handed in his resignation today.  It’s amazing the number of people who don’t want to go to jail.

FBI agents who raided Cohen’s office were looking for additional evidence of payoffs to other women.
