It's really tough to find something funny in the face of the Virginia Tech massacre, but Fox News managed to (unintentionally, of course) deliver that comic relief to us. FOXnews.com is running a story on the front page suggesting that maybe the Virginia Tech shooter was, in fact, possessed by the devil. Thank you, Fox "News" - you have single-handedly morphed the tragic into the ridiculous once again.

Speaking of segues, it would be tragic if you missed our ridiculously kick-ass show at TT the Bear's on Tuesday with Damone and The Charms. Get your tickets early and/or don't call us if the place is sold out. There's nothing we can do for you at that stage. Don't say we didn't warn you, Procrastinating Polly.

I rather like the Rev. Robert H. Schuller's more measured response to the issue:

"I’m not denying that Satan himself could have been in on this act. I’m just saying if he was, I’m not giving him credit for it."

I'm with Bob on this one.

That's the "measured" response? Asserting that a) there's a devil and b) refusing to give him credit for a killing is going piss him off?

Everything depends on context, my man,

"'Based on what I’ve seen in the news,' Roberts said in an interview, 'there’s no doubt that this act was Satanic in origin.'"

My favorite part was either that bit of intentionally sloppy writing that made it seem like the 'Atheism expert' thought that maybe, just maybe, these Christians have a point, or the second to last sentence:

"The battle of good vs. evil in all of us is not a simple choice between two forks in a road, but a cosmic war being waged over our souls."

That is the second to last sentence in an article on a NEWS website. Amazing!

He was Korean. Now he's one-eighth mighty Choctaw.
