Found this at Americans United for the Separation of Church and State. Will this lunatic ever shut up and just retire already?
Citizen Cain: TV Preacher Robertson May Buy Local Newspaper – And Kill Its Critical Coverage
If you can’t beat ‘em, buy ‘em out. That seems to be Pat Robertson’s policy for press criticism.
After decades of operating a faux-news operation from his “700 Club” perch at the Christian Broadcasting Network, Robertson is now expressing interest in purchasing The Virginian-Pilot, a real news organ that has offered critical coverage of the TV evangelist.
*snip*
“Although the price for The Weather Channel is a little rich for my blood, I am considering a potential bid for the Pilot and have asked my attorneys to look into it,” Robertson said in an e-mail sent by his assistant, G.G. Conklin. “It would be particularly helpful to provide internships for Regent University journalism students.”
I’ll bet it would be! Regent University’s motto is “Christian Leadership to Change the World”. A world dominated by Xian theocracy . . .scary!

That kind of trying to influence the news by buying the news media out is what is desperately wrong with America nowadays! Hopefully noone would actually buy that paper if that nutcase goes through with his plans.
Along that vein, here's a comic strip that I found at Ex-Christian which I really liked.

(RE the first panel: That argument never dawned on me)
BTW, that Frapper thingy...well it shows the naughty bits of some guy on the map.
(Didn't know if anyone else noticed, you know, in case minors show up here.)
spirula, yes, I did notice and I had been trying to remember my Frappr password to edit it and can't remember it...so had to remove my whole map! :-( DAMMIT!
I have family who reads this, including my Mom...I am not a prude, but I really don't want people seeing a man's penis while coming to read about atheism and astronomy, etc.
Ok...I put up a new map...minus the penis. Now have to start all over again and I was up to almost 6,000 hits on there. :(
Stardust,
Sorry. I'm not a prude either. It just pisses me off when those "flasher" types use public forums to get their kicks.
(Yeah, I know that's what exhibitionism is all about, but still...)
spirula, I wrote my password down this time so any more "body parts" show up, they will get deleted. AND I turned on my review option so I can approve anything that gets added. I hate doing that, but whatareyagonnado?
counting down the days till when the Lawd calls revrund Pat...
