Lie Detecting Robot A father buys a lie detector robot that slaps you when you lie. He decides to test it out on his son at supper. "Where were you last night?" "I was at the library." The robot slaps the son. "OK I was at a friend's house," the son admits. "Doing what?" asked the father. "Watching a movie: Toy Story." The robot slaps the son. "OK it was porn!" cried the son. Father yells "What? When I was your age I didn't know what porn was!" The robot slaps the father. The mother laughs and says, "He certainly is your son!" The robot slaps the mother.

I read both -- and found it very interesting that the "controversy" was about purportedly "extremist" and "intolerant" views. "The truth shall set you free -- but lies will ENSLAVE you." coupled with "To crooked eyes, truth wears a wry face." I would posit that those who found controversy in the prayer of an earnest man of God are themselves intolerant and looking with crooked eyes. I pity them, and pray that they _open_ their eyes. While I do not agree on all counts with Rev. Wright's prayer, I certainly see nothing "offensive" -- except large doses of truth, which are always extremely offensive to those who refuse to see.
