Plain Old Mister Haggard Now
On the subject of male-bonding (see last post) it appears the good Reverend Ted Haggard……..
………..late of the New Life Church in Colorado Springs, has now decided – with a lot of “help” from various Inquisition church officials – that he’s not homosexual after all.
Not only did he never take the methamphetamines he confessed to buying (“I threw them away”) but he only ever hired the male prostitute, Mike Jones, for a massage.
A rose, they say, by any other name……?
Back in November, Haggard announced he was about to undergo a period of “spiritual restoration” that would likely take years. But it didn’t. Three weeks later he was completely cured, totally heterosexual, and the “…….part of my life that is so repulsive and dark that I’ve been warring against it all of my adult life” – is no more.
A Divine miracle, perhaps?
Perhaps not. One would think if God had performed a miracle on Father Ted his church would be clamoring to welcome him back into the fold. Nothing is further from the truth. Part of the “agreement” between Haggard and the New Life Church is that he will leave the area and take up a secular line of work elsewhere.
In response, the now Mister Haggard has announced he will probably move to Missouri or Iowa where he will pursue a Masters Degree in ………wait for it! ……….Psychology!

American Men Are Just Not Sexy Enough
They don’t actually say American men are crap lovers. Not in so many words, that is. What they say, is that they’d be happy to do without sex for fifteen months in return for a new wardrobe of clothes.
Who are they? One thousand women spread among ten US cities. Two percent said they’d be happy to abstain for three years!
A survey of 18 to 54 year olds by the Unilever corporation revealed nearly half the women considered their favorite article of clothing gave them more confidence, and made them feel sexier, than did their man. The survey also showed that the average woman had hung onto her favorite item of clothing for longer than her longest relationship.
This has to be a very sad indictment of American men. It seems the macho – “leave the bitch at home and go hunting” brigade – are not considered by their women to be anything near as sexy as they view themselves.
Perhaps, that’s the problem.
Of course, there are exceptions to every rule – a few Kathleen Harris’s still exist:
…….to be inflamed at the caliber of Dick Cheney’s shotgun……..
But, by and large, women prefer wooing, to being left stewing, while their men are off doing the things, like canoing, that bond them to soulmates of the strictly male variety.
I do know one American woman who could never be persuaded that a new wardrobe was preferable to a good night’s loving – but she’s married to a Brit!
