Adios, au revoir … and all that jazz
I’m outta here for a couple days! As I mentioned last week, the Mom-person and I are heading to DC to see Chris Carney sworn in as the new Representative of the 10th Congressional District of Pennsylvania!
Woo-hoo! Go us!
While I’m gone, why not check out some of my favorite places on the web?

Marion Strikes Yet Again
Marion ‘Pat’ Robertson announced his usual ‘death and destruction comes this way’ prediction for 2007. A terrible terrorist tragedy to come! God said so!
From YahooNews:
In what has become an annual tradition of prognostications, religious broadcaster Pat Robertson said Tuesday God has told him that a terrorist attack on the United States would result in “mass killing” late in 2007.
“I’m not necessarily saying it’s going to be nuclear,” he said during his news-and-talk television show “The 700 Club” on the Christian Broadcasting Network. “The Lord didn’t say nuclear. But I do believe it will be something like that.”
Robertson said God told him during a recent prayer retreat that major cities and possibly millions of people will be affected by the attack, which should take place sometime after September.
I don’t know if it’s his God or Dick Cheney buzzing in his ear, but would someone please take the microphone away? Just lead him off the stage and into one of those little prisons for old people, because it’s fairly obvious to anyone – anyone with two working brain cells, that is – that this guy is wandering the deserts of the mind.
He also said that he was ‘partly right’ on his tsunami prediction last year. Really. That’s what all the rain and flooding in the Northeast was. Honest. He said so:
In May, Robertson said God told him that storms and possibly a tsunami were to crash into America’s coastline in 2006. Even though the U.S. was not hit with a tsunami, Robertson on Tuesday cited last spring’s heavy rains and flooding in New England as partly fulfilling the prediction.
Rain….tsunami…rain….tsunami….riiiggghhhtt.
Other than both being composed of water, what exactly do they have in common?
