Armageddon Out of Here

Noted fantasist Pat Robertson, well-rested now after the controversies created by his urgings that Hugo Chavez be assassinated and the U.S. State Department be nuked, has apparently decided that it’s not enough to be known for his feelings towards Hindus, Moslems, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Methodists and just about anyone else of differing views – it’s now time to stake his claim to being a Nostradamus for the new age. Robertson apparently says God has told him that a terrorist attack on the United States would cause a “mass killing” late in 2007 – “The Lord didn’t say nuclear. But I do believe it will be something like that.” Robertson’s God, who likes to stay on top of future catastrophes but often just doesn’t have the time to do anything about them, is apparently quite tight with Robertson, who has a special catastrophe avoidance 911 line that the rest of us can only, well, pray for.
