The Hobgoblin Speaks

That would be Pat Robertson:

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) - Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson warned residents of a rural Pennsylvania town Thursday that disaster may strike there because they ``voted God out of your city'' by ousting school board members who favored teaching intelligent design.

Actually, given God's apparent inability to hit his targets of choice in the past, it's just as likely that something bad will happen to Walla Walla, Washington.

"I'd like to say to the good citizens of Dover: If there is a disaster in your area, don't turn to God. You just rejected him from your city,'' Robertson said on the Christian Broadcasting Network's "700 Club.'

So much for that whole "God is love" and "knock and the door shall be opened unto you" business.

Later Thursday, Robertson issued a statement saying he was simply trying to point out that "our spiritual actions have consequences."

I think ol' Pat would be well served to issue, every morning, an apology for anything stupid he might have said the day before, because it's a sure bet he has.
