Thoughts and prayers. I can’t believe no one has posted that yet 😜. ---

I thought about praying for him. For about a picosecond. ---

Oy, yes, a typo. But you’re right, quite apropos. ---

I’m not one to celebrate death, but the following exchange happened today: Spouse Weasel: Did you hear the good news? Me: Alabama? Spouse Weasel: No, the other good news. Pat Robertson is dead. And then he said, I swear to Og, “They’re replacing him with Action Super Heroes.” What he actually said was, “They’re replacing him with Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro.” I liked my version better. ---

I can’t really rejoice. My only real feeling is “much too late”. But, i guess, better later than never. ---

I’d feel happier about it if there weren’t some other asshole who was going to take his place. ---

I can’t honestly say I wished him dead, but I will read his obituary with great pleasure (thank you, Clarence Darrow) ---

And here’s to you, Mister Robertson, Jesus hates you more than you will know. Whoa, whoa, whoa! God damn you please, Mister Robertson, Hell beckons for those who pray for pay, Hey, hey, hey! We know you’ve frightened many with these hellish fires, And to their wallets we know you’ve helped yourself, Now look around, see these disapproving eyes Welcome you to your eternal fate. And here’s to you, Mister Robertson A nation shows its naked ass to you Woo woo woo Where have you gone, Mister Robertson Is there a hell that’s hot enough for you? Woo woo woo ---

Ehh, he was an OG. There will be a replacement, but I’m skeptical he’ll have the same success for at least a few years. He certainly won’t have the attention the late Pat’s name drew, which is pretty important. ---

I do believe in G-d. The thought of the Lord berating and condemning Robertson is a pleasant one. I am trying very hard not to take joy in his death. I am glad the world is free of his smiling, hateful evil. ---

“But Lord, did we not preach in Your name, and cast out devils, and perform miracles for Your sake?” _“Get away from Me. I do not know you.”_ The Man is quoted as saying as much in the Book. For this type, _that_ would the moment of true horror. Then again one has to allow for a deathbed epiphany, if you are a Christian believer. ---
