I laughed at this, until I realized the gravity of the man's position.

Somebody fire this whack-o, please. That, or put him in a little cage in some corner of the Pentagon out of public view where he can do his job without making a jack-ass of himself. Also, mark all of his work, "Review thoroughly," because somebody forgot to use lock-washers when they bolted this piece of work together.

Is there something more substantial to back up this claim than a letter to the editor? I agree his comments were inappropriate, and done in a manner that implied his personal opinion was official, I can't find any links to supernatural beings in surveillance photos. Put Boykin in Special Ops, where he belongs, away from the public eye, or force him to retire. Either way, I'm sick of hearing it.

Heavy static on the net from the primary affiar, but I finally managed to dig up this LA Times article:
"Ladies and gentleman, this is your enemy," Boykin said to the congregation as he flashed his pictures on a screen. "It is the principalities of darkness It is a demonic presence in that city that God revealed to me as the enemy."
Looks like somebody misread his quote.

Still, the guy sounds too much like Zimphire for me to be comfortable with him being in a position of power.

P.S. You should thank me. I had to dig through this drivel that Google spat out to get at the actual article.

Could this have been the supernatural entity that Boykin saw?

wow. just wow. I find that scary enough on its own. Especially the "God revealed to me" angle.

As soon as religious people get in power everyone thinks they have a right to get whacky. They come out of the closets.

Now this was funny!:

hey, what's the point of losing my immortal soul and being chained by my entrails to the toilet at the seventh concentric ring of perdition if I can't have Helen Hunt?!!??

well, if THAT"s the case, forget it. Can I be the easter bunny instead? I can do cute and fluffy.

I'd be most concerned about Helen's reaction to all those nasty entrails.

Helen Hunt sat behind me at a screening of The Producers at the shabby, yet marvelous Hollywood Silent Movie Theater

She has a wonderfully warm and infectious laugh. Not to mention being 8 kinds of yummy.

A most memorable night.

I officially hate you. I just a couple of days ago, suffered through an insufferable mel Gibson movie called What Women Want, simply because I couldn't tear my eyes off of her.
