Grazing Rites

Recently televangelist Pat Robertson (Pat isn’t even his real name!) finally converted to a religion that is taking the world, quite literally, by storm: Global Warming.

That’s right. Almost the entire scientific community, devastating and unheard of natural disasters, and even conventional wisdom and easily observable evidence all was not enough to sway him. So what did it? What convinced this ostrich to take it’s head out of the sand (or his own bodily orifice) and take a wee notice or reality? A heat wave.

Not exactly a biblical plague but I’ll take it.

He even went so far as to say “We really need to address the burning of fossil fuels. It is getting hotter, and the icecaps are melting and there is a buildup of carbon dioxide in the air” on his TV show.

Personally I see this as a sign of hope. Yes the entire situation with Pat is generally laughable but the fact is if someone that out of touch with reality yet still influential in mainstream American right-wing politics can admit that You are on the way to destruction, You have no chance to survive make your time maybe we can For great justice, Take off every Zig.

But seriously, if enough of these boneheads can come on to the side of logic then perhaps the rapture is in fact NOT nigh.
