How marvelous: A writer for the execrable "Daily Show" is making political jokes on Twitter about the Oklahoma tornado while parents are frantically digging in the rubble of a school for their children. Now, am I supposed to silently reflect on this person's moral retardation and pray for them? That's certainly the standard set by my colleagues.
Instead, in the face of the increasing callousness towards people that differ from them that is being presented by those in the news and entertainment communities, [after all, these people live in Oklahoma so they must be Republicans or Christians or against whatever this month's cause celebre might be, so it's okay to mock them at a time of gross tragedy], a callousness that the greater church seems to observe these days without comment or action, I'll simply tweet back to her, "Shove off, creep."
Then I'll pray for her.
