ThinkProgress reports, Kansas House Speak­er Won’t Apol­o­gize For Pray­ing For Oba­ma’s Death:

Kansas House Speak­er Mike O’Neal ® has apol­o­gized for for­ward­ing emails from his per­son­al account refer­ring to First Lady Michelle Oba­ma as “Mrs. YoMa­ma,” but he has not apol­o­gized for anoth­er email using a Bible verse to essen­tial­ly call for Pres­i­dent Oba­ma’s death. Psalm 109:8 became a con­ser­v­a­tive meme in 2009 to sym­bol­ize mak­ing Pres­i­dent Oba­ma a one-term Pres­i­dent, but it speaks to end­ing his term of office by end­ing his life: “Let his days be few; and let anoth­er take his office.” The fol­low­ing verse adds “Let his chil­dren be father­less, and his wife a wid­ow.” O’Neal offered his own com­men­tary: “At last — I can hon­est­ly voice a Bib­li­cal prayer for our pres­i­dent! Look it up — it is word for word! Let us all bow our heads and pray. Broth­ers and Sis­ters, can I get an AMEN? AMEN!!!!!!”

Sor­ry for the silence here on the blog for the last few weeks. There’s some excit­ing stuff that’s tak­en up all of my time late­ly, about which more soon.
