Or was he about to call him a Nickleback Fan?
VIRGINIA BEACH (The Borowitz Report) – Evangelist Pat Robertson sparked controversy in today’s broadcast of his 700 Club program by saying that yesterday’s mild East Coast earthquake was God’s revenge on people “who act kind of gay. All across the Eastern seaboard, there are men who get manicures, wear designer eyewear and know about thread counts,” claims Rev. Robertson. “God finds this somewhat gay-like behavior confusing, and He responded by getting mildly peeved.”
The televangelist warned that if Americans persist in their “seemingly sort-of-gay behavior,” the country should brace itself for additional ambiguous acts of retaliation from the Almighty. “God will strike back at people who act sort of gay with all kinds of mild responses,” he said. “If you keep getting pedicures and facials, you can expect two to three inches of rain and some really hot humid days in your future.”
Rev. Robertson said that New Yorkers who reacted in an over-the-top way to yesterday’s temblor “run the risk of moderately annoying the Heavenly Father yet again.”
“God looks at people who get their panties in a twist after a little shaking, and He says to Himself, ‘Wow, that’s really kind of gay,’” he said.

Wow. "Second Amendment remedies." "Don't retreat, reload." "Texas Republican House candidate says violence, revolution, "on the table." Congratulations, Rethuglicans. Arizona heard you loud and clear today.
When did we become such an irresponsible pack of rabid lemmings? When did Arizona become the new haven for psychobiscuits (such as Gov Jan Brewer's death panels and those 'headless Mexicans')? How did we get to a point where a know-nothing idiot like Sarah Palin could become a leading force in government? When a moron like Christine O'Donnell garners 40% of the vote?
Arizona's tea party douchebag opponent to Democratic Representative Gabrielle Giffords campaign included the opportunity "Get on Target for Victory in November...Shoot a fully automatic M15 with Jesse Kelly" as a freaking fund raiser. Sarah the stupid Palin put 'crosshairs' on her website, and Giffords was one of them. And every jackwagon who flippantly repeated the "watering the tree of liberty with the blood of patriots" over and over helped to bulldoze today's path to Tuscon. As did the fact that the guntards who think that every single unbalanced individual with a criminal record should be able to walk into a store and purchase a semi-automatic pistol; which Jared Loughner did this week (in a State where it's 100% legal to carry your firearm into a bar).
I'm going to steal a line from those tea-bagging morons. I want my country back. Back to when the worst thing a President could do was lie about adulterous sex. Back to when candidates seemed to be more interested in public service than sticking a power-vac into the corporate accounts of their lobbyists' vaults of dough. Back to being able to attend an event without fear of some "real American" waltzing into the food court and opening fire on "libruls."
Ultimately, and sadly, I am not shocked that today's shootings took place. I am actually more surprised that it took over two years since President Obama has been elected for an assassination to occur. Because these conservabots don't look at politicians as people. They see one sided arguments that must be targeted and removed. Not a wife and mother. Not a nine year old girl born on 9/11/2001. Not 17 other people that now have grief stricken families wondering how a day at the Safeway has irreversibly changed their lives. They, like assclowns John McCain, John Boehner, or Eric Cantor (who, in a very bitter irony, has called off his vote to repeal Health Care Reform in light of today's events), only see a win/loss column. Heaven help the individual that takes their "We’ll aim for these races and many others. This is just the first salvo in a fight" rhetoric to the gun closet for a Saturday on the town.
NYT Morning Headline:
Move to End 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' Stalls in Senate
Because it seems that, according to Rebublicans, the only thing more of a threat to our nation than Islamic Jihadi Terrorists are openly gay US servicemen.

"Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed into law
the nation's toughest legislation against illegal immigration Friday, a sweeping measure that supporters said would take handcuffs off police but which President Barack Obama said could violate people's civil rights. The bill, sent to the Republican governor by the GOP-led Legislature, would make it a crime under state law to be in the country illegally. It would also require local police officers to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they are illegal immigrants. Brewer, who faces a tough election battle and growing anger in the state over illegal immigrants, said the law "protects every Arizona citizen," and said the state must act because the federal government has failed"
Yes, that's right. You can (as was recently pointed out on MSNBC's Hardball by a California legalanus) be stopped on the street because of your non-merricun appearing shoes and asked for your papers. I am certain that this will lead to a sudden purging of all Canadian Snowbirds from their illegal Flagstaff vacation cabins. Or at least John McCain being forced to hire some new people to wash his toilets. Sheriff Joe (the drooling old loon who makes road crews wear pink pajamas) is ordering brown shirts and cattle trucks as we speak.
Passings: Corey Haim
Mar. 10th, 2010 09:16 amCorey Haim, the former child actor who rose to fame in 1980s classics 'The Lost Boys' and 'License to Drive,' died Wednesday morning of an apparent overdose in Burbank, Calif., the LAPD has confirmed to several media outlets. He was 38. Local news station KTLA is reporting that Haim was found in his Oakwood, Calif., apartment, and that his mother was at the home at the time that emergency responders arrived. TMZ is reporting that police were later called to the hospital to investigate.
Coroner's Lt. Cheryl MacWillie told reporters that Haim died at 2:15 a.m. at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center in Burbank. An autopsy to determine cause of death is pending.
In his prime, the actor found commercial success as half of the "Two Coreys," along with on-screen friend Corey Feldman.
Haim rose to infamy in the 1980s as a child actor, and gained a breakout role with 'Lucas,' where he played a nerdy and skinny student looking to prove himself on a high school football team. He later went on to star in major commercial hits like the vampire movie 'The Lost Boys,' 'License to Drive' and 'Dream a Little Dream.'
Like many child actors, though, Haim's transition from kid to adult wasn't easy, and the actor's career -- and self esteem -- slipped over the years. Most recently, Haim's troubled relationship with fellow '80s teen star Corey Feldman was documented in the A&E reality show 'The Two Coreys.' During the show, Haim's substance abuse was often a recurring problem between the two.
Last year, Haim famously took out a full-page ad in Variety aimed at getting his career back on track. The ad read: "This is not a stunt. I'm back. I'm ready to make amends. I'm ready to work." He then scored a role in 'Crank 2' alongside Jason Statham, and spoke to TV Guide about his new role. "I'm loving it, and ... I just want to work, and that's what I'm doing, thank God, on stuff I want to do," he said.

My Amazon DVD Reviews: Stan Helsing
Jan. 6th, 2010 09:32 pm
Shooting Parody in a Barrel 1 Out of 5 Stars
Wow, Leslie Nielsen and Keenan Thompson, fire your agents. Writer/director Bo Zenga, retire. Everyone else involved in this, hang your head. Stan Helsing
is a spoof that can't take an easy target (monster movies and characters that have been around long enough to be self-parodies) and make even a mildly funny movie. I got only one mild chuckle in the whole 90 minutes of this film, and it involved a kids' hockey team. The rest of "Stan Helsing" is a wretchedly unfunny movie that misses almost every pitch it makes. Top it off with a bad Michael Jackson joke and an inexplicable "appearance" by Barack Obama and you start to wonder how this DVD got past the discussion stage. Plenty of aimless, mean-spirited sex jokes, a nasty homophobic streak, lack of developed ideas...and the only monster that stoner/video store clerk Stan Helsing should have killed off was this script. Today's Darwin Award Candidate
Oct. 5th, 2009 11:51 am(Oct. 5) cnn -- A 37-year-old Pennsylvania woman died Sunday after being mauled by her pet black bear, authorities said.
Kelly Ann Walz was attacked when she entered the bear's cage to feed the 350-pound animal and clean its cage, according to Pennsylvania State Police. The bear lived in a 15-by-15-foot steel and concrete enclosure on Walz's property in Ross Township.
The bear wasn't the only unusual animal living on the property, an official with the State Game Commission told CNN affiliate WFMZ-TV. The homeowner had a permit to keep a Bengal tiger and an African lion, and the property routinely passed inspection and had no violations, he said.
A neighbor shot and killed the bear that attacked the owner, state police said.
