Memphis has so much class............



World Overcomer's church in Memphis has erected a 72-foot-tall replica of the Statue of Liberty, tall and green like the original, with the right arm extended upward in the familiar pose. But instead of a torch, this statue holds a cross. And the famous inscription on her base--"Give me your tired, your poor..."--has been replaced by Roman numerals representing the Ten Commandments. A tear is running down her face.

Question: Couldn't that $2.6million have done something more useful? Fed the elderly? Built a shelter? Been used to wipe someone's ass?

Some days I think I need to get out of the Bible belt. Oy veh.
