To The Editor:
What has happened to our beloved Queen City? Is it something in the water? First it was Wachovia and the disastrous purchase of Golden West. Next came B of A and the acquisition of Merrill. And now Tim Funk reports (Sat., Sept 12) that Joel Osteen arrived in town and delivered his spiel on Friday to thousands of unsuspecting souls at the Time Warner Cable Arena!
No slur on Mr. Funk intended, but had Sinclair Lewis been reporting the event, Osteen would have been skewered. He is your latter-day Elmer Gantry--a total charlatan, nothing less. How else to explain this guy, who has the audacity to stand up there and with a straight face tell his adoring audience that God is just waiting for the right moment to come to their rescue, etc.,and so be patient......but in the meantime, we're passing the hat, folks, and would you please let me have all your spare change? He then finishes off with an I thank you for that, God thanks you, and God bless you!
Folks, if this is advertised as a winning ticket, I say consider the lottery as a very attractive alternative.
