Giddy on Bibles
New series! We decided to launch a scripture feature with chapter and verse to salve the spirit in the face of current frights such as the financial crash, but after the crash we couldn’t afford a good bible; so we had to go to AbeBooks and buy an old shabby one filled with cliches, heresies, and colloquialisms.
This fatted caveat having been uttered, here are today’s inspirational passages on how to feel about the Wall Street collapse:
*
“Overthrow the multiplication tables of the money-changers.â€
*
“It is harder for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven than for a camel to go through the knee of an idol.â€
*
Buy 200 Matthew (Symbol XIX, chapter 11)

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the Shadow of Debt, I will fear no evil: for the Dow art with me; thy S &P, they contort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil and set the oven to 450 degrees; my cup runneth over.
23rd Psalm

Act justly (when it works in your favor)
Love deeply (but only after taking a viagra)
Walk humbly with your God (but only if he’s white, carries a gun and isn’t gay)
~ with apologies to Micah, who was a truly good guy.
