Sorry lady&#8230; those aren&#8217;t good intentions &#8212; those are greedy ambitions.  You deserve the maximum penalties for filing a false police report.  If nothing else, you wasted the time\/money\/reseources of the Cleveland police, denied the rightful winner her prize, and lied to the nation.  You deserve no sympathy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twincities.com\/mld\/twincities\/7665112.htm\">Pete Rose Wants Baseball to Forgive Him<\/a><br \/>\nOK&#8230; you finally came clean in a book that is making you $$$$, you actually *agreed* to the lifetime ban 15 years ago, and you somehow think that you deserve to be in the Hall of Fame\/be re-instated\/manage another team?  How stupid are you Pete?  Yes, you bet on your team to win; but that was a bet whose outcome you could control.  You basically rigged games, taking all the fun out of the sport and you profitted from it.  You&#8217;re just a greedy, washed-up, unrepetant slimeball and I pity those who actually think you deserve another chance.  Why don&#8217;t you donate the proceeds of your book to a group like Gamblers Anonymous and then maybe we&#8217;ll believe you.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/ac2\/wp-dyn\/A63152-2004Jan7?language=printer\">Dean Says Faith Swayed Decision on Gay Unions <\/a><br \/>\nUh huh.  You claim that homosexuality must not be a sin if God created gay people.  So basically, overeating (gluttony) isn&#8217;t a big deal because God created some people to have a greater appetite than others?  Is alcoholism OK because some people have a greater predisposition to it?  Just because I have a predisposition to something, it does not mean it is necessarily good for me or for my relationship with God.  Add <a href=\"http:\/\/bible.gospelcom.net\/cgi-bin\/bible?language=english&#038;passage=romans+3%3A23&#038;version=NIV\">Romans 3:23<\/a> onto that please.<\/p>\n<p>Dean, you&#8217;re alienating those of us who feel put off by Dubya but are still conservative Christians.  Stop it.  It&#8217;s great that you&#8217;re thinking of &#8220;those who are left behind&#8221; but&#8230; they&#8217;ve made a choice to act on something that isn&#8217;t in accordance with God&#8217;s will.  Yes, Jesus would have hung out with gays and lesbians but He would have told them to &#8220;go and sin no more&#8221;, not to continue in their way.  You can declare something blessed; but it is not truly blessed unless the Lord blesses it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Woman charged over lost lottery ticket claim I can&#8217;t believe she was stupid enough to say that her intentions were good: she &#8220;wanted to win so bad for [her] kids, [her] family.&#8221; Uh huh.
