What horrible news. I am a big Patton Oswalt fan and this is going to crush him. And they have a seven-year-old daughter who’s lost her mommy. Poor thing. What awful news.
Patton, I wish you knew that I am pulling for you. Please let the people that love you help you now. Hugs for you and your baby.

I looked, I swear, just shoot me (not in any important part)
And that post wasn’t involved in our weekend of dis-content.

… In a couple of days they come and take me away,
But the press let the story leak
And when the radical priest come to get me released
We was all on the cover of Newsweek …
(Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard – Paul Simon)
That guy, the Jesuit priest, Daniel Berrigan has been given last rites. 6 pts.
The death of Jenny diski gives three players points.
