How about, rather than grave dancing

We choose not to honor the Pat Robertsons and Bryan Fischers in the first place with acknowledgments of their every utterance? You and I are never, ever going to provide a miracle awakening of even a single Right-Winger who has subscribed to such lunacy by offering up facts. Neither are we ever going to convince the RW Chucky doll of the day to simply withhold the verbal drool.

There is quite simply nothing to be gained by obsessing over their acidic rhetoric.

But you're an enabler if you choose to cut and paste each new jabbering of theirs as if it is in any way relevant.

I would add Cheney to the pool but I think he just gets recharged every night

I thought Pat Robertson had died.

Now I'm sad.

And I'm an awful person because I'm sad he's not dead.

and sad expressions of self-importance. Reagan and Thatcher couldn't give a shit about them in life, and they could give less of a shit in death, and in any case the bravado and bluster is wasted on a site where everyone agrees anyway.

I also think it's puerile to reduce each human life to a binary "good" or "bad." Even comic books are more subtle.
