You may have heard, John Travolta’s son died Friday. He had a seizure disorder with an unfortunately motorcycle-sounding name, Kawasaki Disease. Apparently, he had a seizure in the shower and fell and hit his head. And, of course, we all know, John Travolta is a Scientologist, and Scientology is a fruity little cult. Since Scientology is big on the brainwashing recruiting, chances are, Travolta’s boy was also a Scientologist.
     You may also have heard that Sarah Palin’s kid had her baby. Certainly, we all remember that Sarah Palin is a fundie Pentacostal-type Christian who believes in witch doctors and laying of hands. Which, of course, means that her kid is probably also a bit on the fundie side, and that the new grandbaby will probably be raised to be a fundie.
     And by now, you’re probably eying the picture in this post, which is pointing out the amusing Google News sidebar I found, which lists articles about both stories, one after the other. If you’re as warped as me, your first thought was probably, I wonder if the timing works out for reincarnation? My second thought — maybe yours too — was, I wonder if that’s stepping up in cults, or stepping down?
     And yes. I just wasted half an hour writing this article. But it was an amusing half-hour, so that’s worth something, I suppose.
