This being April 1st, in a normal world, it would be time for a fun post poking fun at something or playing a bloggers version of an internet prank. But these are not normal times, and there is nothing funny about the current world situation. So instead, I ‘d love

If God is indeed just, there is a special place in hell reserved for Grover Norquist and his philosophy of “drowning government in a bathtub”.
