Anyone who lives in a small town knows the effect the "Left Behind" book has on apathetic minds--they tend to grow smaller.
Many people take this end-of-times fiction to be completely true. Now, Lehaye is touting a franchised military book series authored by Mel Odom: "Apocalypse Dawn," "Apocalypse Crucible" and "Apocalypse Burning."
I do not believe Lehay and Jenkins are all that original because I have a Spire paperback also entitled, "Left Behind." According to the information provided on the book, it was written by a woman named Olive Ruth Brown Pattison. Copyright date is 1969.

My fleeting hope was dashed even though Joe Scarborough/Scab-Burrow agreed with Louise Slaughter during Tuesday's segment of GOP Abusing Power.
Earlier, I tortured myself with HanniBully. It would be comforting to know I am not alone in my crazed ranting and cussing to an inanimate object.
I have, at times, leaped from the couch so I could stand in front of the television howling, "How can they report that with a straight face?!)
Sounds crazy, huh? Watching bobbleheads is my self-imposed form of torture.
Why do we watch these programs that piss us off in a huge way? I like to think it is because we see through the steaming bullshit. It disturbs us that much of the American public swallows these shows like a baby swallowing pablum.
Maybe we are hoping for a shining moment when something resembling the truth will air causing someone (sheeple) to pause and think.
I hope I'm not alone in the primetime torture-fest. If someone has wrote about this, then I apologize. There are soooo many diaries here--and I'm so glad of that!
