Guest Blogger, The Bishop who got happy listening to The Battle Hymn Of The Republic on the piano at the Triennial Conference in Church Folk

Lawd, why did they worry me about this? And I ask you, why did they have to bring that up? The Battle Hymn Of The Republic is my favorite song and I get happy listening to it. Is there a problem in that?

What's wrong with these here folk, is that they don't like the way I do business. They didn't like it that I was not happy when Murcheson James earned all of those promised votes for bishop, making it clear that he was going to win in Church Folk. I didn't want him to win because I didn't want him joining the Board of Bishops, coming up in there trying to do right and be right.

There is a lot that I need to put my hands on under the table. You people following me? And the last thing I need is for a bunch of Dudley Do-Rights to sashay up in a meeting putting checks and balances on Bishops like me. I've gotten rich handling business like this....What?

Oh, it's like that, huh. Well, Mrs. Lee Allie Lane Hawkins, if you don't like the way I am then you can just go somewhere. 'Cause I'm off somewhere to do business the way I like it.

See, that's what I'm talking about. Do-gooders. They get on my nerves. And no, I not signing my name.
