From the Collection Plate

Mike Jones, the "masseur" who brought down the "Rev." Ted Haggard, reveals a detail I hadn't considered before, as he gives a massage to a reporter:

Jones said this was the first massage he'd given since going public. As I took off my pants, Jones asked if he could take off his shirt. His 50-year-old physique hid his age well, except for his eyes, which looked tired as he talked of his past (he first got paid for sex while in his teens) and patrons, including preachers like Haggard who made up 15 percent of his clientele and paid his $200 fee in ones and fives. "It's sad," he said as he worked his hands down my back. "I knew it was from the collection plate."

More pathos here.

If Ted Haggard's Not Gay

...after three weeks of "intensive counselling," then fellow blogger Scott at Reality Cubed has decided he can renounce his "tall identified lifestyle:"

Sure I'm 6'3" but I no longer identify myself as tall. Please do not address me as such.

The power of Jesus has convinced me that not only is my former "tall lifestyle" wrong, it's bad for society.

In short, NOBODY IS BORN TALL!

He's inspired me. I am no longer identifying as a brown-eyed, middle-aged white gay male. I'm now identifying as Turkish model Burak Ozcivit:

Haggard: "Not Gay"

At least, that's what the reports say.

Me either. Nope. No way. Not me.
