Things That Happen When People Don’t Believe In Hell

Cody Lee, 16, of Lake Township, which is near Wilkes Barre, is charged with shooting his grandfather, Wednesday, and attempting to kill his father, who only managed to save himself after he wrestled the gun away, according to Luzerne County prosecutors.

Officials say Lee made an outline in a notebook in which he said “Finding grandpa’s guns. Kill grandpa. Find money. Find clothes. Wait for dad to get home. Kill dad. Call Josh. Leave with Josh”, which he showed to a  classmate at Lake-Lehman Junior/Senior High School. He said he was going to kill them “because they’re a–holes,”

Josh did meet Lee but fled when he saw him shoot his grandfather. Lee was arrested 2 a.m. Thursday morning after he called his father who met him in a vehicle.

Lee is being charged as an adult.

When Lee was 9, his mother — who had separated from his father — was shot in the head, apparently accidentally, by her 14-year-old brother — Lee’s uncle..

59 Percent Of Pennsylvanias Down On Rendell

The recent Rasmussen Poll shows that 59 percent of Pennsylvanian disapproved — and 38 percent strongly at that — of the performance of Gov. Fast Eddie “X-Man” Rendell. I haven’t seen this reported too much in the dinosaurs.

Anyway, thank you again Republicans for Rendell. Gotta always admire the steel trap thinking of the “fiscal conservative, social liberal.” You guys and gals would give Jethro Bodine a run for his money in a battle of wits.

Rasmussen also has Republican Pat Toomey beating either Democrats Arlen Specter (46 to 42 percent) or Joe “Damn  the Pennsylvanians Full Speed Ahead” Sestak (44 to 38 percent).

Note that 35 percent of Pennsylvanians have a very unfavorable opinion of Specter.

Regarding President Obama, 50 percent approve of him and 48 percent don’t.
