One used to have find a street corner to hear a lunatic spout insane idiocy:

Pat Robertson has heart surgery

“The Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) announced today that its founder and Chairman, Pat Robertson, has returned home after extensive heart surgery at FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital in Pinehurst, NC. Mr. Robertson has suffered a condition known as atrial fibrillation, an often-debilitating heart disorder involving shortness of breath and weakness affecting an estimated five million Americans… Robertson said, ‘Only the prayers of thousands of believing people kept me on this earth. As it is, I anticipate many more years of creative service in the ministry I founded (CBN), as well as Regent University and other endeavors devoted to the service of mankind. I cannot praise enough the dedication and professionalism of Dr. Andy Kiser and his staff who removed this growth from my continuously beating heart.”

Apparently Radical Cleric Pat Robertson has insufficient faith that Jesus would have healed his heart. Also, “the prayers of thousands of believing people” didn’t seem to help much either.

Perhaps Pat Robertson suffering from atrial fibrillation is a sign of God’s displeasure with him.

…I’m guessing their performance would be completely unlike Lorenzo Lamas and Deborah “Debbie Gibson” Gibson in Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus.

Bill O’Reilly’s Poll – Where’s Fox News?

O’Reilly conveniently leaves of the least trustful news agency, Fox “News”.

When trailers for Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus starting showing on the internet, I just assumed the trailers were some kind of spoof and not adds for an actual movie. Really? Lorenzo Lamas and Deborah Gibson? Come on!

It turns out Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus is an actual movie and can be seen in the U.S.A. on the Sci Fi Channel Syfy (or whatever the fsck that channel wants to call itself).

The first American waffle iron was patented Aug. 24, 1869, by Cornelius Swarthout of Troy, N.Y.

Who knew? Apparently brewing flavorless beers and ales was the engine that drove the American economy during the 1950’s.

Bush’s Shocking Biblical Prophecy Emerges: God Wants to “Erase” Mid-East Enemies “Before a New Age Begins”

In 2003 while lobbying leaders to put together the Coalition of the Willing, President Bush spoke to France’s President Jacques Chirac. Bush wove a story about how the Biblical creatures Gog and Magog were at work in the Middle East and how they must be defeated.

In Genesis and Ezekiel Gog and Magog are forces of the Apocalypse who are prophesied to come out of the north and destroy Israel unless stopped. The Book of Revelation took up the Old Testament prophesy:

“And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.”

Bush believed the time had now come for that battle, telling Chirac:

“This confrontation is willed by God, who wants to use this conflict to erase his people’s enemies before a New Age begins”.

The story of the conversation emerged only because the Elyse Palace, baffled by Bush’s words, sought advice from Thomas Romer, a professor of theology at the University of Lausanne. Four years later, Romer gave an account in the September 2007 issue of the university’s review, Allez savoir. The article apparently went unnoticed, although it was referred to in a French newspaper.

The story has now been confirmed by Chirac himself in a new book, published in France in March, by journalist Jean Claude Maurice. Chirac is said to have been stupefied and disturbed by Bush’s invocation of Biblical prophesy to justify the war in Iraq and “wondered how someone could be so superficial and fanatical in their beliefs”.

In the same year he spoke to Chirac, Bush had reportedly said to the Palestinian foreign minister that he was on “a mission from God” in launching the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan and was receiving commands from the Lord.

There can be little doubt now that President Bush’s reason for launching the war in Iraq was, for him, fundamentally religious. He was driven by his belief that the attack on Saddam’s Iraq was the fulfilment of a Biblical prophesy in which he had been chosen to serve as the instrument of the Lord.

I suppose it’s possible George W. Bush doesn’t actually believe all this nonsense about Gog and Magog and for some reason thought a leader of a secular European nation could be persuaded by such an argument. Either way, Bush doesn’t exactly come across as being at all rational…
