"I Hope They Pull You Through"

That's what the tot was told to tell Grandpa while visiting him at the hospital. Grandpa then said "I'm lying at death's door."

"I hope they pull you through!"

That old joke came to mind when I saw this piece of trash-talk from our vice president-

The United States will pursue the killers of two American journalists "to the gates of hell," Vice President Joe Biden said Wednesday.

"As a nation, we are united, and when people harm Americans, we don't retreat, we don't forget," he said at an appearance in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

"We take care of those who are grieving. And when that's finished, they should know we will follow them to the gates of hell until they are brought to justice because hell is where they will reside. Hell is where they will reside."

It's good that VP Biden is accepting the un-PC concept of Hell, but not so good that he promotes himself to God and condemns ISIS folks to reside there. Odds are very good that Biden's right on that, but that's not his call.

Biden's at least a nominal Catholic, but if he wants to get a promotion to godhood, he might want to check out Mormonism. His running mate seems to be assuming he's Louis "L'État, c'est moi" XIV, so a promotion to godhood isn't that much of a reach for him.
