Chris Matthew leans forward: Pat, don't let me down!

Yes, Pat! I knew you wouldn't let us down!

A overweight 77 year old dies after stroke. Can there be any doubt it was God's work?

CNN quoting Robertson:
Quote:
"God says, 'This land belongs to me, and you'd better leave it alone,'" he said.
Ah, but God also said that he'd curse the land himself if anyone broke any of His laws. This has already happened.

<looks around> where is Pat?

Of course not. God typically casts earlier pestilences as warnings of the biggie to come. 1st the plague of overweightedness, yeah, and he listened not; and verily it did follow that there was a plague of old age upon the unrepentent one, and still did he heed the Lord - not.

<shakes head sadly> they just never listen...

Now now now. We all follow the skeptic rags. You all know his health problems are due to a fatty diet and a sedentary lifestyle, rather than obesity per se. Obesity is a consequence of that lifestyle, as are clogged arteries. Obesity does not cause the clogged arteries.
