Mistah Falwell, he dead
I don't want to be the kind of person who celebrates people's deaths, but I must confess I got a flash of "Finally, he's been shut up."
Time for some thrilling heroics.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Yeah. I can't find anything redeeming about the dude to feel sorry about.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Me neither. So I'll just stay silent on this one.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Mistah Falwell, he dead:
Obviously, God wanted him to stop fucking shit up.
(Because if he had a brush with death but survived, he would take that as a sign from God that he should go on with what he was doing....)

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
One woman told Diane Rehm she shouldn't waste energy getting mad at him because what do you expect from a man who would leave his sick wife for another woman.
He didn't just leave his sick wife for another woman; he asked for a divorce while his wife, who had supported him through college and grad school, was in the hospital being treated for ovarian cancer.

Non-sequitor: I have no idea what I'm doing at this new job, and I'm tired of being confused all the time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have finally worked out some of what I'm doing here, and it's quite a relief. Still confused on a daily basis, but at least inbetween confusions I'm able to be useful.
Allyson--can you ask, or is it something you're to absorb by osmosis?
Weird--I'm talking to a guy at a vendor's who has no work email, and is rifling through patently incomplete paper records to give me information. He doesn't do email at all. At least he used the term "stone age" first.

I have no idea what I'm doing at this new job, and I'm tired of being confused all the time.
I was just thinking about how I was like that for at least the first three months of my job that I've had for 7 years now. It was scary! But I gradually figured things out. (I'm looking at new jobs now and going back to that state is pretty scary. But I think the change is necessary.)

I wonder how long we have to wait.
