I love Joel Osteen.

Snakes like him crack me up. I saw him on Larry King with his wife, and when asked why he's so rich and if he thinks it's ok to be as rich as he is while in the service of the Lord, he said --- YES, I SHOULD BE THIS RICH. He gave an answer along the lines that "God wants us to enjoy the fruits" and "He wants his Leaders to be taken care of."

To me, he's a success story. He's swindled thousands, earned millions, enjoys the adoration of a flock of mindless follwers, he's created his own Brand[TM]. He's an American success story and a businessman, that's it.
