Have you ever heard of acting?! Well, I thought that there was something behind the facade. He was generally regarded as a comedian, but at least I thought that you could see sadness and some inner demons in his face. And not many comedians voluntarily go for roles like One Hour Photo, or more serious acting like Good Will Hunting or Dead Poets Society. Ok, Jim Carrey tried, but then he has his own problems. But could you see Will Farrell or Vince Vaughn or Ben Stiller in these roles?

Evangelicals are always disturbing in this regard (and others). They don't want a peaceful solution, as we think of it. They want Armageddon, the literal return of Christ, the total annihilation of other faiths. The Jews are just sacrificial lambs when the great war comes that brings the return of the messiah (which they don't believe in).

Interesting. The Guardian obit mentions a small stroke seven weeks ago. That could have been a sign. Not having known him before, he appears to have been a sort of british Bob Woodward who, at 71, is probably still to young to be mentioned here. Anyway... was it the wanking?
