This stuff drives me nuts –

 

The following is from CNN.com about Jack Abromoff after pleading guilty to conspiracy, fraud and tax evasion charges:

 

According to e-mail obtained by a Senate committee, Abramoff made a fortune from the (Native American) tribes while privately mocking tribal leaders as "monkeys" and "morons."

"Nor can they express my sadness and regret for my conduct," he added. " I ask for forgiveness and redemption from (the) Almighty."

Jack – God can detect your desire for forgiveness and redemption within your heart, He doesn’t need you to express it as a statement to the press.

I read somewhere that Tolstoy once said "don’t judge the path by how poorly I walk it". To all who read this I would like to adapt that comment and say "do not judge the path by how poorly we walk it".
