Pat

Pat Robertson, that mental giant in the Intelligent Design world, has stepped on his dick again. This time, it concerns Israel. Pat told his audience on the 700 Club that Israel's Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's stroke was a divine punishment for "dividing God's land."

Now, I'm not really the one to ask for an opinion on religion of any sort. But, it seems to me, that if you're trying to sell something, you don't make outrageous statements that indicate that you're an idiot to your potential customers. But this guy is one of those who cannot seem to supress his need to spread his stupidity before the entire world.

As you may recall, this guy ran for president on the Republican ticket not to long ago. It should have given all an indication of what was to come further down the road. His occasional gaffes weren't really. They were indeed the way the guy was thinking. When he indicated that those who did not believe (in Christianity) needed to be re-educated, he wasn't kidding. Now we see Intelligent Design, which of course is neither, and efforts by some of his followers to put it into the Science curriculum. Man, did we ever dodge one there. Of course, we got something so much better, the Busheviks.

It would be nice if we could gather up the Robertson's and Cruise's, et.al., and put them in pen to entertain each other with their sheer stupidity. Call it cleaning up airwave pollution.
