Time to get the purple SEIU t-shirts out of mothballs and issue them to the members for the next march.

What? From the humble man of the cloth?

Line in the movie of The Loved One spoken by Jonathan Winters to a young man:
“I advise going into a career in non-sectarian ministry. There’s a lot of money in it.”💰💰💰💰
