Why does this not surprise me at all… > **['Bling Bishop' busted on fraud and extortion charges](https://www.fox5ny.com/news/bishop-lamor-whithead-indicted-fraud)** > > A Brooklyn preacher, known as the so-called Bling Bishop due to his opulent lifestyle has been indicted for allegedly defrauding a parishioner out of her retirement savings and other charges. Brooklyn’s “Bling Bishop” who was robbed of his jewelry mid-sermon earlier in the year, now charged with fraud. ---

Pope Francis praises the virtues of the middle finger, then deletes tweets after ridicule all over. Not an Onion story: > **[Pope Francis Seems To Extol Virtues Of Middle Finger In Now-Deleted Tweet](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/pope-francis-middle-finger-tweet_n_63dc07ede4b01e92886ff6fd)** > > The pontiff suggested that the middle finger, "which is higher than the others, reminds us of something essential: honesty." > [@](#): > > Francis explained the middle finger is “higher than the others” and “reminds us of something essential: Honesty. To be honest means not getting entangled in the snares of corruption.” On a serious note: this just shows how these people (of the Vatican) are separated from reality and speak a language that no regular bloke can relate to or even understand. ---

It struck me as the sort of wisdom you get from college kids when they partake of certain substances. “That finger, it’s like…up there. It’s so high.” ---

Yeah, maybe inhaling all that incense explains it… ETA: I used to be an altar boy and often handled the incense pot(? don’t know what it’s called) and stood or rather knelled in a cloud of incense and always got a big buzz out of it. ---
