As someone who appreciates the absurd, I frequently watch Pat Robertson's 700 Club. You never know when he's going to call for the assassination of a foreign leader or condemn an American town to hell.
The televangelist rarely disappoints; in his latest pronouncement Pat Robertson claimed God told him storms and possibly a tsunami will hit America's coastline this year.
"If I heard the Lord right about 2006, the coasts of America will be lashed by storms," Robertson said on his 700 Club, he added, "there well may be something as bad as a tsunami in the Pacific Northwest."
That may be the problem right there. Pat is getting long in the tooth, and he may not be hearing the Lord right. The Almighty may have actually said: Soon there will be another Starbucks opening in the Pacific Northwest.
The quirky religious broadcaster said the revelations about this year's weather came to him during his annual personal prayer retreat in January.
The Lord spoke to me during my annual gambling, girls and greed retreat in Las Vegas: "Son, believe thou not the ramblings of my wayward ministers Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson. If a tsunami is about the hit America I will use a more credible individual than Pat Robertson to deliver the bad tidings. I will employ one of my trusted bleach-blond bimbo weather girls to sound the warning."
I wouldn't listen to Pat Robertson when he predicts the course a hurricane will take or when a tsunami will hit America's coastline. I'm not a weatherman, but I predict that a burst of hot air will hit this country the next time the 700 Club airs.
