Gosh, I'm not sure. Walter Brimstone had the closest date, but he is a known liar in sheep clothing. I'm also pretty sure he has been thrown in HELL?

Who should the prize be given to? Should we hold a raffle?

Ordinarily, when an unrepentent sinner of Adolph Hitler, Pol Pot, Ryan White, Ted Kennedy, or Patrick Swayze's ilk is finally condemned to hell, I feel elated and celebratory. However, Swayze's God-mocking sins were so profoundly egregious, his lifestyle such an abomination, his contemptuous flaunting of his Satanic influences such a destructive and nauseating influence on so many-- I just feel relieved, content, and awed by God's gracious wrath. Perhaps we should consider donating the prize to a worthy charity, such as End Wasteful Arts Education in Public Schools, Iowa Teen Gun Rodeo, or Abstinence Iowa.

Re: ALL ABOARD - The HELL Train!!

In a pathetic attempt at upstaging our celebration of Jesus killing Patty Swayze, the she-male press secretary to the infamous communiss Jimmy Carter, Jody Powell, chose to have a heart attack today as well.

Former Carter press secretary Jody Powell dies

WASHINGTON – Jody Powell, who was White House press secretary and among the closest and most trusted advisers to President Jimmy Carter, died Monday of a heart attack. He was 65.

Powell, a member of the so-called Georgia Mafia that descended on Washington after Carter was elected president, was stricken at his home near Cambridge on Maryland's eastern shore, said Jack Nelson, a retired reporter and close friend of Powell.

Nelson said Powell had been working with firewood with a helper who briefly stepped away. Powell was discovered a short time later on the ground. He said Powell had had a previous heart attack in recent years.

Powell, who first worked with Carter during his campaign for governor in Georgia the 1960s, joined Carter's presidential campaign in 1976 and served as chief White House spokesman from 1977 to 1981.

Carter in a statement called Powell's death "a great personal loss" and said, "I will miss him dearly."

"Jody was beside me in every decision I made as a candidate, governor and president and I could always depend on his advice and counsel being candid and direct," Carter said. He added: "No one worked more closely with me than Jody."

After leaving the White House, Powell became one of the founders of the Powell Tate public relations firm in Washington.

A Georgia native known for his deep Southern drawl, Powell — along with fellow Georgian Hamilton Jordan — was among Carter's closest advisers and confidants. A June 1977 issue of Time magazine had caricatures of both Powell and Jordan on its cover, declaring them "the president's boys." Jordan died last year after a lengthy battle with cancer.

At one point during his presidency, Carter said "Jody Powell knows me better than anyone else except my wife."

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Monday he was "deeply saddened" to hear of Powell's death.

"Jody served his country during a difficult time, and he always did the job with grace and good humor," Gibbs said. He added that he had sought out Powell's advice when he became press secretary and that Powell "was always generous with his time and wise in his counsel."

Born on a cotton and peanut farm, Powell grew up in Vienna, Ga., and had aspirations to become an Air Force pilot. But he was expelled from the U.S. Air Force Academy during his senior year for cheating and went on to attend Georgia State University and later Emory University where he received a masters degree in political science.

He joined Carter's gubernatorial campaign as a driver and all-around handyman and stayed with him through his presidency.

A man who at times could display his temper, Powell remained a staunch defender of the Carter presidency. When Republican Sen. John McCain frequently cited Carter in negative terms during last year's presidential campaign, Powell was quick to cite Carter's early warnings about the country's oil dependence and his early calls for clean energy development.

Powell and the other Georgians who came with Carter did not always follow tradition when they arrived in Washington in 1977. They were fond of country music concerts and frequently were seen wearing blue jeans and T-shirts as they made the social scene.

But after leaving the White House, Powell remained and prospered as part of the same Washington establishment. He headed the Washington public relations firm of Ogilvy & Mather, building it from about a dozen people to nearly 100 before leaving to found Powell Tate with Sheila Tate, former press secretary to first lady Nancy Reagan.

Powell lent his voice to two documentaries — one on baseball and the other on the Civil War. In 1985, he published his memoirs, "The Other Side of the Story," which included reflections on his days in White House and the Carter presidency. He also wrote a column for the Los Angeles Times and was an ABC News commentator.

"He was a brilliant man," said Paul Costello, who served with Powell in the White House and later worked with him in public relations.

Costello called him "An amazing strategist in his later years as public relations counsel to a wide range of clients. I was always in awe of his strategic mind."

Powell is survived by his wife, Nan, and daughter, Emily, and three grandchildren, his sister, Susan, and his mother, June Powell, in Americus, Ga.

Dale Leibach, a longtime friend and business associate since their days in the Carter White House, said the ex-president went to a nursing home where Powell's mother lives to tell her of her son's death before she heard it on the news.

Jimmy will be joining you soon enough, liberal scum.

Re: ALL ABOARD - The HELL Train!!

Praise Jesus!! Another communist folk singer from the 1960's has been killed and sent on her way to hell by our loving Lord.

Here's a video of her and her two common-law husbands singing the anthem of all drug smokers.

Mary Travers of Peter, Paul and Mary dead at 72

DANBURY, Conn. — Mary Travers, one-third of the hugely popular 1960s folk trio Peter, Paul and Mary, has died.

The band's publicist, Heather Lylis, says Travers died at Danbury Hospital in Connecticut on Wednesday. She was 72 and had battled leukemia for several years.

Travers joined forces with Peter Yarrow and Noel Paul Stookey in the early 1960s.

The trio mingled their music with liberal politics, both onstage and off. Their version of "If I Had a Hammer" became an anthem for racial equality. Other hits included "Lemon Tree," "Leaving on a Jet Plane" and "Puff (The Magic Dragon.)"

They were early champions of Bob Dylan and performed his "Blowin' in the Wind" at the August 1963 March on Washington.

And they were vehement in their opposition to the Vietnam War, managing to stay true to their liberal beliefs while creating music that resonated in the American mainstream.

The group collected five Grammy Awards for their three-part harmony on enduring songs like "Leaving on a Jet Plane," "Puff (The Magic Dragon)" and "Blowin' in the Wind."

At one point in 1963, three of their albums were in the top six Billboard best-selling LPs as they became the biggest stars of the folk revival movement.

It was heady stuff for a trio that had formed in the early 1960s in Greenwich Village, running through simple tunes like "Mary Had a Little Lamb."

They debuted at the Bitter End in 1961, and their beatnik look — a tall blonde flanked by a pair of goateed guitarists — was a part of their initial appeal. As The New York Times critic Robert Shelton put it not long afterward, "Sex appeal as a keystone for a folk-song group was the idea of the group's manager, Albert B. Grossman, who searched for months for `the girl' until he decided on Miss Travers."

Their debut album came out in 1962, and immediately scored a pair of hits with their versions of "If I Had a Hammer" and "Lemon Tree." The former won them Grammys for best folk recording, and best performance by a vocal group.

"Moving" was the follow-up, including the hit tale of innocence lost, "Puff (The Magic Dragon)" — which reached No. 2 on the charts, and generated since-discounted reports that it was an ode to marijuana.

Album No. 3, "In the Wind," featured three songs by the 22-year-old Dylan. "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" and "Blowin' in the Wind" both reached the top 10, bringing Dylan's material to a massive audience; the latter shipped 300,000 copies during one two-week period.

"Blowin' In the Wind" became an another civil rights anthem, and Peter, Paul and Mary fully embraced the cause. They marched with King in Selma, Ala., and performed with him in Washington.

In a 1966 New York Times interview, Travers said the three worked well together because they respected one another. "There has to be a certain amount of love just in order for you to survive together," she said. "I think a lot of groups have gone down the tubes because they were not able to relate to one another."

With the advent of the Beatles and Dylan's switch to electric guitar, the folk boom disappeared. Travers expressed disdain for folk-rock, telling the Chicago Daily News in 1966 that "it's so badly written. ... When the fad changed from folk to rock, they didn't take along any good writers."

But the trio continued their success, scoring with the tongue-in-cheek single "I Dig Rock and Roll Music," a gentle parody of the Mamas and the Papas, in 1967 and the John Denver-penned "Leaving on a Jet Plane" two years later.

They also continued as boosters for young songwriters, recording numbers written by then-little-known Gordon Lightfoot and Laura Nyro.

In 1969, the group earned their final Grammy for "Peter, Paul and Mommy," which won for best children's album. They disbanded in 1971, launching solo careers — Travers released five albums — that never achieved the heights of their collaborations.

Over the years they enjoyed several reunions, including a performance at a 1978 anti-nuclear benefit organized by Yarrow and a 35th anniversary album, "Lifelines," with fellow folkies Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Dave Van Ronk and Seeger. A boxed set of their music was released in 2004.

They remained politically active as well, performing at the 1995 anniversary of the Kent State shootings and performing for California strawberry pickers.

Travers had undergone a successful bone marrow transplant to treat her leukemia and was able to return to performing after that.

"It was like a miracle," Travers told The Associated Press in 2006. "I'm just feeling fabulous. What's incredible is someone has given your life back. I'm out in the garden today. This time last year I was looking out a window at a hospital." She also said she told the marrow donor "how incredibly grateful I was."

But by mid-2009, Yarrow told WTOP radio in Washington that her condition had worsened again and he thought she would no longer be able to perform.

Mary Allin Travers was born on Nov. 9, 1936 in Louisville, Ky., the daughter of journalists who moved the family to Manhattan's bohemian Greenwich Village. She quickly became enamored with folk performers like the Weavers, and was soon performing with Seeger, a founding member of the Weavers who lived in the same building as the Travers family.

With a group called the Song Swappers, Travers backed Seeger on one album and two shows at Carnegie Hall. She also appeared (as one of a group of folk singers) in a short-lived 1958 Broadway show called "The Next President," starring comedian Mort Sahl.

It wasn't until she met up with Yarrow and Stookey that Travers would taste success on her own. Yarrow was managed by Grossman, who later worked in the same capacity for Dylan.

In the book "Positively 4th Street" by David Hajdu, Travers recalled that Grossman's strategy was to "find a nobody that he could nurture and make famous."

The budding trio, boosted by the arrangements of Milt Okun, spent seven months rehearsing in her Greenwich Village apartment before their 1961 public debut.

Travers lived for many years in Redding, Conn.

Re: ALL ABOARD - The HELL Train!!

Thank you for the link. I just feel a little troubled because a lot of people get born with disability and I worry that they have not gotten the chance to offer their self to God. What happens to those that are good in person but have had the trouble of being born disabled?

Well, I'm sure no expert on the Special Bible, but I've been reading it alot. From what I read, I forget where, but I'll find it if you need me to, is that God makes people into cripples and retards because their parents or their gramparents did something to tick Him off.

It's called smiting, and God does it all the time to people that deserve it. Sometimes, he does it to people that don't deserve it, just to show the person that actually deserves it that you shouldn't ever screw with God.

At least that's the way I read it. A Pastor or someone who knows more about the Bible could probably tell you better.

Re: ALL ABOARD - The HELL Train!!

It's a busy week for the HELL TRAIN. Comic midget dies. Satan must have needed use him as a lawn jocky.

Henry Gibson, the quintessential character actor who played Nazis, priests, drunks and nosy neighbors during a 45-year career that included a stint as an original cast member on 'Laugh-In,' died Monday at his home in Malibu. His son, James, said Gibson died after a brief battle with cancer. He was 73.

Beginning with a role in 'The Nutty Professor' in 1963, Gibson worked steadily until just last year. His big break arrived in 1968 when he began a 3-year stint on 'Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In,' where each week he would hold a flower and read a poem.


The rest of the 1960s and 1970s were spent working on acclaimed TV shows, including 'Love, American Style,' and more meaty film projects like Robert Altman's 1975 country music opus, 'Nashville,' for which Gibson earned a Golden Globes nomination.

In 1980, he played an Illinois Nazi going after a pair of soul-singing louts in 'The Blues Brothers' and later in the decade played the villainous neighbor in Tom Hanks' hit 'The Burbs.'

Other memorable films include a 'Gremlins' sequel, Paul Thomas Anderson's 'Magnolia,' and most recently a turn as a clergyman who gets an earful from Vince Vaughn in 'Wedding Crashers.'

Until last year, he carried on a recurring role on 'Boston Legal.'

Born James Bateman in Germantown, Pa., Gibson began acting professionally at age 8. He is survived by his wife and three sons.

WHAT? I thought Tony Curtis died years ago of The AIDS! Maybe it's because he's dropped so far off the radar I assumed he died a long time ago. Still, I'm confident he will descend into the pits of Hell by the end of this year. 2009 has been a very generous year for our Lord to smite sinners, and I'm sure He has some nice surprises in store for us come fall and Christmastime!

LOS ANGELES – Larry Gelbart, the award-winning writer whose sly, sardonic wit helped create such hits as Broadway's "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum,"

Nothing funny happened on the way to the Forum – 1000’s of Christians were fed to the lions

the films "Tootsie"

The iniquity of men in women’s clothes and

"Oh, God!"

Thou shalt not take the Lord’s Name in vain!

and television's "M-A-S-H," is dead.

MASH, as far as I am aware had absolutely no scenes of miracles in it and relied entirely on secular science apart from a catlick priest, who wasn’t killed.

Gelbart died at his Beverly Hills home Friday morning after a long battle with cancer, said Creative Artists Agency, which represented him. He was 81.

His wife of 53 years, Pat Gelbart, told The Associated Press Friday that after being married for so long, "we finished each other's sentences." She declined to specify the type of cancer he had.
