talk about the passion, #2

Much as Jesus was tempted thrice by Satan and successfully resisted each time, I believe that one of my sisters is trying to bait me into exasperation by forwarding me increasingly implausible e-mails that all (a) evince some kind of dramatic narrative consistent with a politically conservative and religious worldview and (b) are completely, wildly untrue. Today's attempt pushed me close to the edge by invoking Paul Harvey, whose show I am sure will be piped through loudspeakers while I am being flogged by the devil's minions in hell.
