Jim Bakker was this week's stumper.....

and yes he is back at it with his new wife selling crap on the Jim Bakker Show

from a 600 acre ranch in Branson, MO.....

of which he owns "nothing" due to the fact that he STILL owes the IRS a cool $6 million.

He even "looks" like a delusional homeless man!!

If you can find his show on your cable.... you need to check it out.....

reminds me of a SCTV bit.

"There's a sucker born every minute"........

--Grew up in Muskegon, MI

--He was sentenced to 45 years in prison after being convicted on all counts in his wire/mail fraud trial......of which he only served 5 years before being paroled!?!?

--His jail mates were presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche and Roger Nelson.

--Nelson owned Skydive Chicago in Ottawa, IL.

He was convicted of tax evasion and sentenced to ten years in federal prison for unreported income related to his international drug smuggling operation.

He too only served 5 years and was sprung early for good behavior.

Just in time to be killed in a skydiving accident a few years later.....

(fallllllowing in his brother's footsteps....whats the odds?)
Nelson was captain of the U.S. Olympic Skydiving Team in 1982.

So if you learned anything this week.....

you now know that there is a U.S. Olympic Skydiving Team.

--Heritage USA was a Christian theme and water park that operated from 1978 to 1989. It was the base of his original television show with Tammy Faye

and collected almost $1 million a week in donations!

Attracted 6 million visitors annually and was the top vacation destination only behind Disneyland and Disney World.

--Several structures were destroyed by Hurricane Hugo......

God said enough is enough!
