Sylvia Browne's last failed prediction... [View all]

On the Larry King Show in 2003, she predicted she would live to be 88 years old.

As just about everybody knows by now, she croaked on Nov. 20, at the age of 77.

Just Google the old fraud's name for full details.

I'm often chided by DU'ers for my "lack of respect" when people like Browne or Jerry Falwell finally shuffle off this mortal coil.

Well, there's a simple explanation - I never had any respect for them in the first place, and will not pretend I did. The usual hypocrisies like "sorry they're gone" won't work either. In fact, I'm not sorry, and would probably not mind much if Browne had organized a Psychic Jonestown and taken every one of her sorry ilk with her.

Yes, I'm a horrible person.
