Sad, sad news
Pray for his soul.
“Pray for his soul”.
Who should pray for his soul?

Betoes’daddy?
He was a equal opportunity kind of guy, offending and offended by everyone in charge.
Many National Lampoon folks were or became Republicans. John Hughes is another example. Real humor and satire lives on the right. Leftists are a humorless miserable lot…

Pause for a moment and not be an a$$hole.
Look at most of the SNL folks from the late 80s: Dennis Miller, Victoria Jackson, Rob Schneider, Jon Lovitz, have all become conservatives over the years.
You’ve got it backwards. Someone saying “Pray for his soul” is the arrogant a$$hole.
If it was phrased “For those so inclined, it would be appropriate to pray for his soul” would be a nice request.
You need to pause.
