an apology

i'm not apologizing for pat robertson -- but i'm going to apologize for making what could be seen as THE WORST POP CULTURE REFERENCE (see previous post) in the history of the world.

pat robertson...should i waste space on him? okay...LUNATIC. here are the ways i (not a member of the misinterpreting AP) would interpret the phrase "take him out" --

1. kill him
2. assassinate him
3. shoot him dead
4. lynch and hang him
5. make him meet with an accident
6. make him disappear

but maybe i'm reading into what mr. robertson said. he probably just meant "take him out to find a different job, maybe at a gas station or a grocery store. take him out to dinner or to a ballgame."

how would YOU interpret "take him out?" then tell me what you think would happen if someone -- a "private" citizen -- in another country called for the assassination of our leader from their television show?

The best way to take out someone like that is to make them culturally meaningless--like making him appear on a daily religious "newscast" with a bunch of whitebread simpletons (who, unsurprisingly, often share his last name) on no-account cable channels that had to decide that reruns of "The Beverly Hillbillies" were just to dern expensive to keep showing like they were free.

That and have him run for president at some point because someone like Ronald Reagan just isn't conservative enough...

Oh...

Wait...

I think John is right, because right after he said he wanted to take him out, he mumbled something about going to McD's to get a Royale with Cheese.

Joe, you are so wise for your age. I couldn't even type until I was three.

What I advancement I have in typing skills is embarrassingly negated by copious amounts of drool. The ladies don't go for droolers, unfortunately...
