Ed Kilgore gives us an update on Ashley Smith who supposedly used Rick Warren's super popular "A Purpose Driven Life" to talk down a fugitive-cop killer holding her hostage in her suburban Atlanta apartment.  Well, the revised story is that she used her stash of crystal meth to sweeten the deal. 

This episode reminded me of living in Atlanta where strip clubs and Baptist mega-churches seem well represented on highway billboards as you come into town on I-75.  Furthermore, I have to agree with Ed that the "sinner-saint" dichotomy that most Southerners seem to so instinctively embrace, if not celebrate, is just one more reason to love the South.
