I can’t bring myself to eulogize the Sabres just yet. The team we fell in love with last year just completely and utterly quit. No confidence, no passion, and no desire. Jim Kelley put it best in his blog, so I will leave it to him.
The first time I smiled all day was reading the comments posted on the New York Times website about Jerry Falwell dying. Here are a few of the better ones:
“He’ll be right at home down there with Strom Thurmond.”
“I only wish I could see the look on his smug, pudgy face when St. Peter sets him straight and pulls the lever on the trap door.”
“Honey, we’re having a party in the Castro tonight and all the Teletubbies are invited! Yes, the witch is dead and this is a beautiful beautiful day in the world when one of the most hateful, evil people on Earth left our planet to rot in hell. And, Jerry, we gay boys are gonna celebrate!”
“I hope a chorus of gay angels meet him at heaven’s gate and then schedule him for a lobotomy.”
“America has lost one its greatest ayatollahs.”
“He will go down in history as powerful hatemonger who used his influence to rally throngs of sheep to embrace fear, divisiveness and anti-intellectualism…kind of like Strom Thurmond, Jesse Helms and Hitler.”
I think that Pat Robertson can go next. Here is a story about his university and how its graduates are infiltrating government:
http://www.slate.com/id/2163601/
“150 graduates of Regent University (are) currently serving in this administration, as Regent's web site proclaims proudly, a huge number for a 29-year-old school. Regent estimates that "approximately one out of every six Regent alumni is employed in some form of government work." And that's precisely what its founder desired. The school's motto is "Christian Leadership To Change the World," and the world seems to be changing apace. Former Attorney General John Ashcroft teaches at Regent, and graduates have achieved senior positions in the Bush administration. The express goal is not only to tear down the wall between church and state in America (a "lie of the left," according to Robertson) but also to enmesh the two.”
I don’t have enough to be depressed about!
