From the home office in Capernaum, Galilee, tonight's Top Ten: People Jesus Would Have Killed. That's right, Paul, Jesus. Who would Jesus have killed? Have had killed. Assassinated. Do you have assassinations in Canada, Paul?
10. The Pharisees
9. The Sadducees
8. Ungrateful lepers
7. That phony Simon Magus
6. Captain Kirk
5. Hecklers!
4. One of the twelve, that dips with Him in the dish
3. That guy who keeps on stealing His camel's parking space
2. He who casts the first stone with sin
and the number one person Jesus would have had killed -- drum roll please, Anton...
That fat bastard, Buddha!
This made me laugh out loud :-)

Why does anyone pay attention to this moonbat? Dappled Things has a nice looney-tunes retrospective:http://donjim.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_donjim_archive.html#112484344628908782

Followup: You linked _Pravda_? They couldn't even spell "unite" correctly in the header, for chrissake.

There is a saying in Romanian that I would use to describe Robertson
"Great is the garden of God and lots has jumped the fence…"
This guy is 80, calls himself a Christian, but during all this time (!), he actually never understood what Christianity is all about. The sad part is that’s not only him.

Indeed. The tolerance of the USA can be contrasted with the Orwellian UK where it is proposed to deport extremist clerics who advocate assassinations.
As Peter Costello has recently opined, "If the world is to have a hegemon, the modern United States is the kind of hegemon we would like to have: democratic, respectful of human rights, with strong and genuine belief in individual liberty."
Of course this respect and belief is primarily for the benefit of American citizens. Foreign tourists should heed Charles Stross' advisory or check with their travel agent before flying.

Frankie, I don't think David Letterman controls the weather. And if Pat (who can leg-press 2000 pounds, by the way) hasn't been Deus Irae'd yet, I figure I am pretty far down the list.
Bernard, of course I linked to Pravda for this story.

Well, I haven't read Pravda in a long time...I was surprised by the link also. But I stuck around there for a while and had some fun reading...so I'll say thank you to Carlos.
Best Wishes,
Traveller

How the hell did you find that second one? You didn't actually Google "Pat Robertson leg-press", did you?

I love the irony-free age-defying shake. I'm amazed he can keep his wobbly pins in place, never mind propel a ton towards the heavens. It's a miracle, I tell you. Where do I post my bank details?
