Wow. I thought I was being nasty yesterday, poking fun at Pat Robertson’s prayer vigil asking God to remove three Supreme Court justices. I felt a little guilty for being so mean. But now, I’m worried.
The Lord, you see, moves in mysterious ways His wonders to perform. Sometimes that takes a while, and Pat Robertson is not always a patient man. Apparently he is adopting the doctrine that the Lord helps those who help themselves:
Pat Robertson, host of Christian Broadcasting Network’s The 700 Club and founder of the Christian Coalition of America, called for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
The Bush Administration says it supports democracy around the world. Chavez was democratically elected by the people of Venezuela. But Venezuela has oil, and that changes things.
John Moltz asks, “What does Pat Robertson have to do to get de-mainstreamed?” (Rated ‘R’ for strong language.)

From his HBO program Real Time, here’s Bill Maher on Intelligent Design:
New rule: You don’t have to teach both sides of a debate if one side is a load of crap.
President Bush recently suggested that public schools should teach intelligent design alongside the theory of evolution, because, after all, evolution is “just a theory.” Then the president renewed his vow to drive the terrorists straight over the edge of the earth.
…
There aren’t necessarily two sides to every issue. If there were, the Republicans would have an opposition party. And an opposition party would point out that even though there is a debate in schools and government about this, there is no debate among scientists.
Evolution is supported by the entire scientific community. Intelligent design is supported by guys on line to see The Dukes of Hazzard. And the reason there is no real debate is that intelligent design isn’t real science. It’s the equivalent of saying that the thermos keeps hot things hot and cold things cold because it’s a god.
…
“Babies come from storks” is not a competing school of thought in medical school. We shouldn’t teach both. The media shouldn’t equate both.
