God Told Me This News

He also said your mother's a whore.

It's Pat!
Seriously, there's something very wrong with this man.

On Wednesday, Robertson, 77, implied that God informed him who will be elected president in November.

“He told me some things about the election, but I’m not going to say, because some old man on “60 Minutes” would make fun of me, so I’m not going to tell you who the winner’s going to be,” Robertson said, in apparent reference to CBS humorist Andy Rooney, who turns 89 on Jan. 14.

...

UPDATE: Robertson also said that this year, God told him China will become a Christian nation: “God’s going to give us China. And China will be the largest Christian nation on the face of the earth. They’re going to come to Jesus.”
Yeah. China, a Christian nation. Keep dreaming.

I guess to be fair, he never said for sure he was told who'd win, just that he was told 'some things'. By God.

That makes it all right.

Toyota Beats Ford
So Toyota is now the #2 auto seller in the US. This is due in part to a sharp drop in Ford's fuel guzzler sales and a rise in sales of Priuses and so forth.

American automakers just refuse to learn.

Dragging My Name Through the Mud
So Sears, the store, set up a customer portal, and then required that you download some nasty spyware that would watch everything your computer did for a week, and hid this fact as well as possible.

What an odd thing to do. Maybe they were just trying to collect a massive list of porn websites or something.

World Trade Center Invaders
So there's a new version of a flash game out that has you defend the WTC on September 11th, 2001 from an endless series of hijacked planes. Ala Missile Command, or Space Invaders.

The original version was received as a grim commentary on the day's feelings of helplessness and impotence; the new version of the exact same game, a few years later, is seen as crass. I'm not sure either label is really justified.

Tasteless or not, let the people make their game. It's not killing anyone. For some reason it's ok when the Left Behind game, which has you kill atheists and unbelievers to get into heaven, is sold in American stores, to kids no doubt, but this is not. Even though there you're teh killer, here you're the.. defender. Or whatever.

I can't really care too much about this nonsense.
