Elizabeth Kübler-Ross, dead at 78.

Dr. Kübler-Ross had written On Death and Dying, about the stages that people go through as they are dying - denial through acceptance - as well as worked on revolutionizing hospice care as we know it.

Thanks to Dr. Kübler-Ross' work, doctors, nurses and laypeople have a better understanding of dying, and how to make the end of our lives more dignified and comfortable.

May she rest in peace, and may her work continue on for years to come.

That's right - I said Red Hottt

"God Won't Hot Sauce You ... But You Need To Learn Consequences" {Or, the new Christian method of corporal punishment - AKA: "WWBWD? - What Would Blair Warner Do?"}


I swear, I'm not making it up. According to Christian circles, Hot Saucing the tip of your wee bairn's tongue is the way to punish them - without really punishing them.

What does this mean? Well, besides McIlhenny experiencing a spike in their sales - due to Upstanding Christian Parents using Tabasco in an almost sadistic manner - there will be the spawn of those Upstanding Christian Parents, afraid of anything beyond the utterly banal for the rest of their days, associating it (in an almost-Pavlovian sense) with punishment and negativity.


So, I leave it to you all to discuss, debate and decimate. Hot Saucing: Legitimate Punishment Method - or Borderline Child Abuse?
