Thankless

Jesus is not amused:

Junior Stowers raised his hands and exclaimed, "Thank you, Jesus!" in court last month when he was acquitted by a jury of abusing his son.

But his joy was short-lived when Circuit Judge Patrick Border held him in contempt of court for the "outburst" and threw him in jail.

Now before any of you hard right-wingers get your windows all fogged up, read the article. It wasn't about what he said, it was about how and when he said it. This is not Yet Another Diabolical Attack On Christianity; it's just a guy with bad timing and a pronounced lack of self-control.

Besides, if he were a Pastafarian, he could have confined his celebration to a nice post-hearing platter of double-sauce spaghetti. With parmesan. And garlic toast.

Suddenly I feel inexplicably religious... or hungry. Which is basically the same thing for a follower of His Noodliness. It's a side-dish benefit.
