There's an HBO Special that shows him going around trying to sell Life Insurance to make ends meet.

I have not had HBO in decades - too racy for my tastes. But I am aware of the documentary, produced by Alexandra Pelosi, daughter of Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.

I don't have HBO either. We have Direct TV and we just had a free HBO weekend. They do that to try and get new customers.

This is an old documentary...
I do have HBO....I am spiritual enough to turn the channel when necessary...
They have some great documentary stuff on there.....and they have some movies that I would go to the movie to see, so why not....
Anyway, Ted screwed up with his by-laws ...giving the power to men who did not have his best interest at heart. They "made" him leave town for 18 moths...he could not even live in his own house.....that is a great christain attitude.....

Be careful or you'll be tabbed as a "holier than thou" old fogey, Bible thumpin' Christian.
I am with you though.

Yeah, you're right. Therefore I have taken a sharpie and crossed this verse out of my Bible:
I will set before my eyes
no vile thing.
The deeds of faithless men I hate;
they will not cling to me.
Psalm 101:3 (New International Version)
Thanks.

You don't want to pull that scriptural card on me Gary....
Good thing I know "jockularity" when I read it......as I am sure you do....
HBO and the like is not in and of itself the evil. You can't watch a segment of any sitcom and be justified by not having HBO.
It's all a mess these days....I am thinking seriously of taking all my tvs and giving them to the church....don't watch that much anyway....JUST KIDDING......
My tv this week has been limited to "sprout" tv.....I have caught up on Sesame Street......and Kipper....and Bob the Builder...wow....
