It just gets stranger and stranger living here.
I know it’s a cliché, but sometimes the truth is so much stranger and absurd than the worst fiction. The former US presidential candidate and long time right wing, fundamentalist Christian TV preacher, and full fledge whacko nut job has stated that the earthquake in Haiti was caused by a pack with the Devil they made to throw off the heel of the French.

newsblogs.chicagotribune.com/religion_theseeker/2010/01/pat-robertson-blames-haiti-quake-on-pact-with-devil.html

probably even worse than him saying this is that so many Americans will believe him. These are not just the nuts dancing with snakes in the hills of West Virginia, but the whacko religious nuts in our congress.

I’ve got to find somewhere else to retire! (Either that or push for Vermont to secede.

I was waiting for the first of this sort of thing to arrive.
I must admit though, I was expecting something on the lines of "Voodoo followers get their come-uppance."

Could be fun to see Robertson's face when he answers his door to a fuckload of zombies.

Do you think anyone's pointed out to him,
apart from the staggeringly bone-headed insensitivity of saying that Hurricane Katrina and the Haiti earthquake were "God's punishments," that by suggesting the September 11th attack was "punishment for America's sins," he's basically agreeing with al-Qaeda?

So True!
"basically agreeing with al-Qaeda"
