Andy Rooney made sense this time. |
|
Andy Rooney puts me off sometimes, but it took guts for him to say what a lot of us are thinking. No one in the media is willing to stand up to the supposed Christian right. They are running roughshod over many policies. I may be loony, but I think the reason the bushies are getting rid of Hubble because it shows the universe is billions of years old not just 6,000 years old as stated by the Bible. They are giving millions to high school abstinence til marriage policies that have not been shown scientifically to be of any benefit. In fact, science of any kind holds no sway with these people. Why is media genuflecting before St. Mel? I have had 2 acquaintances invite me to see the movie because their church has bought out the entire theater. Seeing this movie will change my life and deepen my understanding of Christ.?! A movie by Mad Max will deepen my understanding of Christ? Mel has a great scam going on. Why spend millions on marketing when you can get the fundies to do it for you for free. What a great guy. NOT.
<snip> I hadn't wanted to say anything about this, because it seemed like a personal matter, but Pat Robertson isn't the only one who has heard from God.
I heard from God just the other night. God always seems to call at night.
"Andrew," God said to me. He always calls me "Andrew." I like that.
"Andrew, you have the eyes and ears of a lot of people. I wish you'd tell your viewers that both Pat Robertson and Mel Gibson strike me as wackos. I believe that's one of your current words. They're crazy as bedbugs, another earthly expression. I created bedbugs. I'll tell you, they're no crazier than people,

my favorite lines:
I heard from God just the other night. God always seems to call at night.
"Andrew," God said to me. He always calls me "Andrew." I like that.
"Andrew, you have the eyes and ears of a lot of people. I wish you'd tell your viewers that both Pat Robertson and Mel Gibson strike me as wackos. I believe that's one of your current words. They're crazy as bedbugs, another earthly expression. I created bedbugs. I'll tell you, they're no crazier than people,” said God.
"Let me just say that I think I'd remember if I'd ever talked to Pat Robertson, and I'd remember if I said Bush would get re-elected in a blowout."
