The old "prosperity gospel" as practiced by the likes of Reverend Ike and Oral Roberts is making a comeback; however, this brand is particularly vicious towards the poor.

It is completely un-Christian, but that doesn't matter with these guys, and they are mostly guys.  It's all a con game with them.

Obituary:  Bobi, a Portuguese dog that was the oldest verified dog in history, has died at the age of 31.


Bobi became both the world's oldest living dog and the oldest dog ever in February - beating an almost century-old record for the latter title.

The previous oldest dog ever was Australia's Bluey, who died in 1939 at the age of 29 years and five months.

Bobi's grand old age was validated by the Portuguese government's pet database, which is managed by the National Union of Veterinarians.

The identity of Bobi's successor to the title of world's oldest living dog has not yet been revealed.
