At Ozzy Inc., opportunity keeps pounding on the crucifix-covered door. Ozzy Osbourne, the stringy haired British rocker notorious for biting the head off a bat once on stage, agreed Wednesday to open his Beverly Hills mansion for 20 more episodes of the hit MTV series "The Osbournes." The show - a bizarre, unscripted, profanity-laced family comedy that gives new meaning to the term reality TV - has created heat for all things Ozzy. Among many other things, HE HAS AN INVITATION TO PLAY NEXT WEEK FOR QUEEN ELIZABETH II FOR A SIX-FIGURE BOOK CONTRACT WITH SIMON & SCHUSTER. "I hope the Osbournes get filthy rich rich," said Van Toffler, president of MTV. (The Tampa Tribune 5.30.02) Ozzy said himself, "I can't figure it out myself, why people like the show." A figure of $20 million was quoted for his contract but MTV said it was inflated by the media. On May 31, 2002 Ozzy's success story was the topic on C-Span and we were told that it has caused a search for more people like him. "We watched the White House Correspondents dinner, an annual event. It was a gala occasion which "took a whole year to prepare," stated the lady in charge. Every person there, was personally invited. So the camera was busy showing the most favored by the President. It was in honor of President Bush and the Press to get to know each other and get a better feel for the White House to improve their reporting. When the camera landed on Dr. Ruth, we were shocked but it
wasn't going to end there. As President Bush stood and introduced
many of his friends and dignitaries, he suddenly pointed to Ozzy
Osbourne and brought the camera and audience's attention on him.
I had never heard of Ozzy and could not believe my eyes when
Ozzy jumped on top of his chair, mouth wide open and his arms
outstretched in an embrace from a distance to thank the President.
Ozzy has a 'gothic' feel about himself (black long hair and whitened
skin) and looked quite strange in the Washington crowd. When President Bush named a number of Ozzy's CDs they seemed to be bloodcurdling Rock Music and he stated "Mom loves your stuff," I was mortified. I could envision Mrs. Bush in front of me, a prim and proper lady, who didn't seem to be given to this type of music. The next day "People in the News" brought Ozzy into many more households and his contract was renewed for a another year with MTV. I could not watch the show because it seemed every other word was profane. Now why am I bringing this episode into our newsletter? There was no outcry from the major ministries who put President Bush into office. Bush was presented to Christians in churches as a Christian. Churchgoers were coached to vote for him if they wanted to be in good standing with their pastors and peers in many cases. Pat Robertson said that President Bush would not be in office if it were not for the Christian Coalition. This was not the first incident either when President Bush revealed his anti-Christian attitude. We have a responsibility to Jesus Christ to represent Him, not political leaders. Politicians obviously do not tell the truth. With the new law coming from the White House to allow politicians in pulpits and get some of the donations, we have a major problem on our hands.
What was most interesting, in confronting others with this scenario, I found that they all heard it different than I did. One said: "that was the name of another one of his CDs.". Another said: "he must have meant Ozzy's mother" or "you must have misunderstood." People couldn't put it where it belonged. That is what we do in cults. We compartmentalize everything and don't get the picture. It's called rationalizing because we don't want to face the truth. We can't be wrong. The definition of rationalizing in Webster's Dictionary: a: to substitute a natural for a supernatural explanation of <~a myth> b: to attribute (one's actions) to rational and creditable motives without analysis of true and esp. unconscious motives. To provide plausible but untrue reasons for conduct.
PRESIDENT BUSH'S STRANGE CHRISTIANITY. Friday Church News
Notes, May 10, 2002 (David W. Cloud, Fundamental Baptist Information
Service, P.O. Box 610368, Port Huron, MI 48061, 866-295-4143,
fbns@wayoflife.org) - The Bible warns, "Woe unto them that
call evil good, and good evil…" (Isaiah 5:20), but
that is exactly what happened at the annual White House Correspondents
dinner a few days ago, attended by President George Bush. The
President honored the foul-mouthed, blaspheming, heavy metal
rocker Ozzy Osbourne, while laughing at comedian Drew Carey's
mockery of the Bible and Christianity. The President made light
of Ozzy's vile, anti-christ hits, such as "Sabbath
Bloody Sabbath," "Face in Hell," and "Bloodbath
in Paradise." After mentioning those titles, the President said, "Ozzy, mom loves your stuff." He should have rebuked both Ozzy and Carey for their wickedness and walked out of that ungodly situation. I love my President and I praise the Lord continually that he won the last election instead of the "other guy"; but he claims to be a Bible-believing Christian, and I am heartsick at his compromise of the faith. Christianity means nothing in America today. It is just like the world.
MORE YUCKS WITH BUSH THE ENTERTAINER President George Bush
treated journalists to never before-seen pictures of the White
House on Saturday, including one in which Dick Cheney, the Vice-president,
appears to be urinating on the door of his Oval Office. "Dick,
I hope you’re not doing what it looks like you’re doing,"
Mr Bush quipped as he narrated a slide show at the 88th annual
dinner of the White House Correspondents Association. The Cheney
photograph followed a series in which other top officials, including
Condoleezza Rice, the national security adviser, and the outgoing
White House aide Karen Hughes, were shown peering into a peephole
at the president’s office.

Osbourne quit. Others say he was forced out. 
From one of Ozzy's songs:
Some people say MY LOVE cannot be true 9. Gay Republicans were in Washington, D.C. last week, and held numerous strategy sessions with Bush officials and Capitol Hill representatives. Gays are extremely happy with Bush so far, as he has more than upheld the "gains" made under Clinton, he has extended them even further. Finally, Concerned Women For America took notice. They ran an article in which they concluded that, in the area of homosexual "rights", Bush was identical to Clinton - http://cultureandfamily.org/report/2002-04-18/n_bush.shtml CWA also ran a really descriptive cartoon showing the close cooperation between the Gays and Bush - http://cultureandfamily.org/report/2002-04-18/2n.shtml NO WONDER WE CAN'T GET LAWS PASSED TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN FROM PORNOGRAPHY A memo from Terry Frieden WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Monday that a law aimed at banning sexually explicit material available to minors on the Internet is not unconstitutional simply because it relies on "community standards." But the justices did not rule on several other aspects of the Child Online Protection Act, and sent the case back to an appeals court for further review. The opinion says the government continues to be barred from enforcing the law until a Circuit Court rules in the case. The law passed by Congress is the second attempt to shield children from online pornography. The first law passed in 1996 was declared unconstitutional because it violated the First Amendment's free speech guarantee. [ A high price to pay for being able to use profane language ].
