She's just a good Christian woman.

Why do people even say things like this?

Naked mom argues with son, accidentally shoots finger

A 73-year-old Fort Worth woman shot her finger after arguing with her son because she had been walking around the house naked, police said.

Fort Worth police were called to a house in the 5600 block of De Cory Road around 1:30 a.m. Friday when they found Bertha McElroy with a bullet wound in her left index finger, according to a police report.

***

Tina Robinson, Ms. McElroy's daughter, said the shooting was an accident and that her mother was not nude. "There was no argument at all," she said.

Ms. Robinson said her mother often kept a gun at her bedside and was reaching for it when the accident occurred.

"My mom is a good Christian woman, an upstanding citizen and church member for many, many years," Ms. Robinson said.

Well, as the song goes... "Here's to you, Ms. Robinson..."

I mean, seriously, why do people even say things like this? Is being a member of a shared religious fantasy somehow relevant to whether or not you would behave as a nutcase? In a positive way, I mean.

It simply sounds like this woman (McElroy) has some kind of age-related dementia or other mental problem. Sad, yes. But connected to being a 'good Christian woman', how, exactly? She doesn't need a priest - she needs a good neurologist.

As long as she is a good Christian woman, she should be able to do whatever she wants, right?

"Look at the ANGLE OF THE KEY....see that, see that...."

what an idiot this Randi is.....a REAL CRITICAL THINKER....

Visit:

http://nostradamus-usa.netfirms.com

to see how we stopped the MILLION DOLLAR PARANORMAL challenge.....
watch carefully the consequences of Randi's *idea*.....

For over 40 years James Randi Zwigert (is this even a REAL NAME?) has
had total control over who and how the testing was conducted, yet
despite all this he has terminated the challenge.

The ONLY REASON why the challenge was stopped is because he lost and
refused to pay.
Apparently, Randi likes to break the rules when it serves him:

"14. This prize will continue to be offered until it is awarded. Upon
the death of James Randi, the administration of the prize will pass
into other hands, and it is intended that it continue in force. "

Great force.....it's over......

where is my MILLION DOLLARS, you LITTLE *NO-NAME* FRAUD
PS: Almost Forgot: Love the IRONY of the *BULLSHIT* sign over Randi's
ugly head....

Little surprise . . .

. . . that this was marked as SPAM by the filter. But it seems to come from a real, though anonymous, idiot, and as such I am allowing it to post per Brent's guidelines. Feel free to ignore or pick a fight, as you wish.

Behold the Troll

This must be mjones, aka David Marbus aka Dennis Markuze aka Smartest Sumbitch Around. I've run into his comments on several blogs in the past day. His comments get deleted a lot and he is subjected to deserved derision, poor fellow. I think it is useful for his comments to remain posted, from time to time, so that the full extent of his idiocy may be observed in its pristine state.

I had to re-read the first

I had to re-read the first sentence of the article a couple of times. I kept wondering how walking around nude could contribute to getting a finger blown off!
