Arts Robertson Opens Mouth, Reveals Idiocy
It’s been a while since we last had a good, stupid pronouncement from Pat Robertson—at least a week and a half—so thank God for the Associated Press, which reports Robertson’s most recent ass blather/slander of the Almighty.
Like all of Robertson’s best pronouncements, the new one came during a broadcast of The 700 Club, during which Robertson revealed how God told him that America’s coastline will be struck by storms—and possibly a tsunami—this year.
Robertson said the revelations about this year’s weather came to him during his annual personal prayer retreat in January. “If I heard the Lord right about 2006, the coasts of America will be lashed by storms,” Robertson said, [later adding] “There well may be something as bad as a tsunami in the Pacific Northwest.”
Never mind that predicting a serious storm season for 2006 is like predicting nightfall for the end of the day. My real concerns are these: Why is Robertson bothering God for information anyone with the ability to read could’ve learned just by picking up a newspaper? And why is God wasting time revealing the obvious to Robertson via secret communiques instead of applying Himself to stopping shit like this?
In another shocker, God came to me in a vision and forecast traffic backups late this afternoon on the Evergreen Point Bridge.
