Kathy Griffin just don't get it.
It probably seems strange to some that Kathy Griffin has blaspemed. To others, it merely confirms what many already know: most people in Hollywood are Bacchanalians. Indeed, who but a riotous and boisterous person would dare tell an alleged God to "suck it"? But such paltry pomposity, in reality, is perfectly suited to sinners. And moreover, there is one point that might be overlooked.
Kathy Griffin is not the only sinner. For though many Christians might pretend it is so, being a Christian myself, I can assure you it is not. I, too, am a sinner. I, too, have blasphemed. And as I pondered the vulgar words of this red-headed hussy, I chanced upon the words of Marcus Aurelius.
"Do not act as if thou wert going to live ten thousand years. Death hangs over thee."
Marcus Aurelius, Thoughts, Book IV.
If this is true--and at this point in my life it seems quite plausible--I need not worry about what Kathy Griffin has said. I had better concern myself with how I live. After all, the scriptures I love more dearly than life had already declared the sentiments of Mr. Aurelius: "It is appointed unto man once to die..." And for that matter, empiricism declares the same. But what empirical knowledge cannot declare is what Mr. Aurelius cannot aver. And what Kathy Griffin has denied, is what I have known and, sadly, what I sometimes ignore. For while it is true that we have but one appointment with death, yet something remains:
"...but after this the judgment."
The question is, by whom shall we be judged?

Can you say "anti-Christ?"
Yikes!!!
"De Jesus says he learned he was Jesus reincarnate when he was visited in a dream by angels."
This just in...."sources have confirmed that 'The Grub Street Plumber' is, in fact, the tooth fairy." More on this as it develops.
