By now, I assume, you've all heard about Nebraska state senator Ernie Chamber's filing of a lawsuit against God.

The conventional wisdom that's starting to float around about this story is that he is filing a frivolous lawsuit to make a point about the preponderance of frivolous lawsuits in this country. I watched him make this point on Glenn Beck's t.v. show tonight and he sounded downright Conservative about frivolous lawsuits.

Sounds great, doesn't it?

Too bad it isn't the truth.

Maybe you remember the story not too long ago about the Nebraska judge who barred the use of the words "rape" and "victim" in the trial of a sexual assault case. Well, the victim of the sexual assault, the one who was barred from using those words in her testimony on the witness stand, filed a lawsuit against the judge.

That, my friends, is the "frivolous" lawsuit that Ernie Chambers is responding to with his stupid antic.

The truth about Ernie Chambers, the apparently affable clown who filed suit against God, is much darker than you think.

In 1970, a 911 call was placed to the Omaha police, reporting screams coming from a house. Two of the officers who responded to the call, Larry Minard and John Tess, entered the house, which was actually vacant at the time. In the living room, there was a suitcase. As Officer Minard went to pick up the suitcase, it exploded. He was killed instantly, and Officer Tess was severely wounded.

Two members of the Black Panthers, Edward Poindexter and David Rice, were arrested, tried, and convicted for the murder of Officer Minard. They're currently still in the Nebraska State Penitentiary.

Nebraska state senator Ernie Chambers, when he's not filing lawsuits against deities, has, for 37 years, been one of these copkillers most staunch advocates.

There, now you know the truth. If you don't believe me, well, you'll just have to Google it.
