Sad but true. Jimmy boy exercised that escape clause. He repented.

We still hold the option on his soul for raising all that money, but right now the Big Guy agrees with my assessment that the Swaggert one is not an in the money call.

He'll still be calling the waiting rooms of Purgatory home, when they are discussing the impending disasters associated with the Y100K problem.Yep, he'll still be sitting there reading that Playboy with the Jimmy Carter interview, down through the corridor of time.

I knew he wasn't. Feeble attempt at humor.

Hailstones rain death
Monday April 27 10:58 AM EDT

BEIJING (Reuters) - Fist-sized hailstones have killed nine people in the central Chinese city of Changde, just one day after vicious hail killed 12 people on the east coast, Xinhua news agency reported.

The hailstorm in Changde Thursday was accompanied by thunderstorms, gales and a tornado that demolished houses in the city and flattened crops in surrounding areas of Hunan province, Xinhua reported.

Late Wednesday, hail and gale-force winds killed at least 12 people and injured more than 1,000 in two cities in eastern Jiangxi province, Xinhua reported earlier.

Hailstones rained from the skies for around 30 minutes, drilling deep holes in the soil and cutting a 10-15 km (6-9 mile) swathe of destruction stretching for 60 km (37 miles) across fertile farmland, Xinhua said.

Some 408 houses collapsed and 35,000 homes were badly damaged in the storm that devastated 13,300 hectares (32,863 acres) of farmland.
