Dumber than a bag of nails
August 25, 2005This blogging thing is pretty addictive, isn’t it?
I expect my enthusiasm for this whole thing will fade as the novelty wears off. Having a blog is NOT like writing a diary. With a diary, the intention is to keep your thoughts private so that you can freely express what you’re really feeling. With a blog, you run the risk of offending someone if you tried the same thing.
Anyway, this marks my first comment on international news events. And the honor goes to Pat Robertson, the religious leader of the 700 Club. Who receives this month’s (or possibly this year’s) “Dumber than a Bag of Nails” award.
Maybe it’s just me, but I do wish religous leaders like Pat Robertson would actually think about what they’re going to say before they open their mouths. Robertson makes our very own extremist religous leaders look like Little Red Riding Hood in comparison. If I had a choice between Archbishop George Pell or this maniac, I’ll choose the former thank you ever so much.
And this isn’t the first time Robertson has opened his big mouth either. The last time he popped up prominently in the press, it was claiming that the terrible events of September 11 were God’s punishment for the US’s immorality. Hogwash. The guy’s entitled to his opinion, but there are better ways of expressing it.
