"There were still remaining some few prisoners who were not wounded. These were asked by L'Ollonais if any more Spaniards did lie farther on in ambuscade? To whom they answered, there were. Then he commanded them to be brought before him, one by one, and asked if there was no other way to be found to the town but that? This he did out of a design to excuse, if possible, those ambuscades. But they all constantly answered him, they knew none. Having asked them all, and finding they could show him no other way, L'Ollonais grew outrageously passionate; insomuch that he drew his cutlass, and with it cut open the breast of one of those poor Spaniards, and pulling out his heart with his sacrilegious hands, began to bite and gnaw it with his teeth, like a ravenous wolf, saying to the rest: I will serve you all alike, if you show me not another way."

Tammy Faye Messner has died. I always felt that she was just along for the ride - mistakenly well intended. I remember her, right around the breaking of the Jessica Hahn scandal, explaining about her addiction to over-the-counter cold remedies, and how that was causing upheaval in the family.

Here's a repeat from the early days of GlyphJockey: The Heritage Village Map. I used to work in the cesspool of Cable TV - I found it in an abandoned desk and knew it would be of interest to someone, anyone who appreciated comeuppance.

This lady, however, kept her sense of humor and suffered. Not the comeuppance I had in mind.

It's a huge image of a cartoon map of the proposed Heritage Village - a Christian themed resort/amusement park, which was really a slippery embezzlement slope for Jim Bakker - Tammy Faye's husband.
