Crystal
Cathedral files for bankruptcy
Crooks can't make money with a tax-free church?
Crystal Cathedral, the megachurch
birthplace of the televangelist fraud “Hour of Power,”
filed for bankruptcy Monday after struggling to emerge from debt that
exceeds $43 million.
$43 million? What the hell did you do to fritter
away $43 million dollars?
Were you snorting cocaine with diamond straws lined with gold?
In addition to a $36 million
mortgage, the fraud-based church owes $7.5 million to vendors
for services ranging from advertising
to the use of live animals in Easter and Christmas services.
ha ha
You crooks rented $43M worth of live animals for Easter
& Christmas?
The church had been stiffing
vendors, so they filed lawsuits seeking quicker payment,
which prompted a coalition formed by creditors to fall apart, church
officials said.
Damn, this is worse than Hugh
Hefner's inability to make a profit
by selling naked pictures of spectacularly beautiful women.
OK, let's say you spent $20M on advertising.
You say the other $23M went to rent animals?
Think your bankruptcy judge will believe that?
Frank Zappa said it best:
Tax the churches.
Tax the businesses owned by the churches.
Frank also said,
Remember,
there's a big difference between
kneeling
down and bending over.
I miss Frank,
Can you imagine how funny his Teabagger Blues would
be?
