Saddleback Pastor Rick Warren Blinded by Toxic Poison
Holy what the eff?
Glenn Beck announced that he's (supposedly) going blind the other day, and now this? Is there some kind of a reverse-Saul thing currently in vogue with the conservative/religious culture warriors? What can this mean?
I personally have little faith that intercessory prayer will do much to restore Warren's sight. But I do hope that medical science can maybe get something done. Put an end to the pain, at least.
Man, this really sucks. I don't care what your politics are normally; when it comes to excruciatingly painful toxic poison blindness, we're all in the opposition party. If I could, I would definitely filibuster toxic chemicals in the eyeball.

Update: Thanks to Jeff and the mysteriously named Name in the comments for following up on this. Turns out the "toxic poison" that burned a hole through Rick Warren's skull was in fact some kind of plant sap that irritated his eyes into a state of temporary blindness…
Warren's spokesman Larry Ross said the sap of a firestick plant got into Warren's eyes when he wiped his brow while gardening. The sap can cause temporary blindness, although Ross said Warren can see…
He is expected to make a full recovery.
It's a miracle! You see? Prayer truly does work!

Is this like when I forget to take my contacts out before slicing jalapenos?
You guys suck! Rick's a good man. Ever occur to you that he could've dictated his tweet and someone else typed it for him? Hope you're never in a similar situation. You might not think it's so funny.
Wonder if he rolled around on the ground when he felt the burn … Rick Rolling…wonderful!
Offerings must be off due to the economy. Gonna have to do something dramatic to get the flock back in line.
Actually the toxic POISON was tree sap??? Hmmmm and yeah… How did he type the tweety thing if he was blind?? Jeeze
sorry, not trying to be insensitive, but how did he tweet?
Is Rick Warren really a culture warrior?
