I didn’t even know Pat Robertson had a heart:

Pat Robertson, 79, on mend after heart surgery

RICHMOND, Va. — Pat Robertson’s lead surgeon says he expects the 79-year-old religious broadcaster to make a full recovery from surgery to correct an irregular heart beat.

Robertson is back at home in Virginia Beach after his release last week from a hospital in North Carolina. He ultimately will be fitted with a heart monitor.

Dr. Andy C. Kiser (KEYE’-zer) said Robertson underwent the 10-hour surgical procedure at FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital in Pinehurst, N.C., to repair an atrial fibrillation.

In a separate but related procedure, doctors also removed an abnormally enlarged left appendage on Robertson’s heart. They believe the growth contributed to Robertson’s atrial fibrillation.

Must be nice to have access to the best health care Charles Taylor’s ill-gotten gold can buy.

Life just isn’t fair to the Andrei Zhdanov of the Right, Brent Bozell. I mean, the very notion that at any given time someone in the media can disagree with him and still be gainfully employed afterward must really stick in his craw. It’s no wonder then, that he spent last Wednesday riding to the defense of the king of personal attacks, Rush Limbaugh. In his attempt to shield Limbaugh from any criticism whatsoever, he pointed to acerbic comments about Limbaugh from Ed Schultz, Ron Reagan, Jr., Jon Stewart and Mike Malloy as examples of how… wait for it… The LEFT™®© are solely responsible for the coarsening of our public discourse and that only The LEFT™®© could be so hateful.

No, seriously.

Bombing disrupts Outgames event

A Seattle-area athlete needed medical treatment Tuesday after small bombs were thrown onto the track at the start of a relay run at the World Outgames. This attack is the second to take place against on attendees since the global LGBT multi-sport event opened last weekend. Three men have been detained as a result of the incidents and police said they are looking for a fourth suspect.

It was not known at press time whether the attacks were related or what the motives were, but police were treating the weekend incident, in which two Danish men reportedly punched and kicked three men from the United Kingdom, Sweden and Norway in a gay-bar district in Copenhagen as they returned from the opening ceremony on Town Hall Square.

[…]

Less than an hour after the first bomb, another explosion rocked the stadium and a man was seen fleeing a nearby church building, believed to be the site where the bombs were thrown from. Police said they apprehended a 31-year-old Danish man and were looking for a second suspect.

I’ll bet the Washington Mystics’ managing partner Sheila Johnson will blame KissCams for this incident.

But here’s the really disturbing part of the article:

A report issued by World Outgames organizers just before the start of this year’s games remarked that in terms of gay acceptance, Danish corporations were reluctant to be connected to the event.

This incident and the rise of anti-abortion sentiment in the Netherlands seem to be pointing to a disturbing pattern in European politics — the return of Christofascism.

Things that make you go hmm…

Just in case you were wondering what the police are like in my home state, the fascist thugs known as the Fort Worth Police Department apparently thought the 40^th anniversary of the Stonewall riots was the perfect time to do a re-enactment.

Prop. 8 upheld by California Supreme Court

• The Equal Protection provision of the Constitution doesn’t apply to gay people, even though we said exactly the opposite just last year.

The California Supreme Court will announce its ruling on Prop. H8 in about an hour and 15 minutes. So will they decide that gay people are human beings? Well, if the oral arguments back in March were any indication, you’d better check the temperature in hell first.

…that Bill Donohue is going to be rather busy the next few days trying to pretend that the Catholic church isn’t an institution rotten to the core because of pedophile priests and their enablers. Damn those homosexuals and their agenda of being treated like human beings!

AFTERSNARK: JJ’s final thoughts in the post linked above bear repeating:

If only all those abused kids hadn’t had the bad luck to have already made it out of the birth canal, maybe we might see some outrage from the church rank and file.

I couldn’t have said it better if I were the late, great George Carlin.

Rules, schmules! This is the best free publicity money can buy! It’s a huge opportunity — HUUUUUUUUUUUGE!! Why should I sacrifice the proverbial goose that laid the golden egg on the altar of consistency? Besides, Miss Prejean’s little “friends” at the National Organization for Marriage threatened to have me investigated for conspiracy to commit incest if I didn’t let them have their way. And if I were to go to jail for failing to appease a bunch of theocratic thugs, I’d have to tell myself, “You’re fired!”

Shorter Theocracy Barbie:

You libruls and fags are so DORK-SIDED, I can’t stand it! I’m a God Warrior™! Therefore, I am absolutely perfect in every way and no one has any right to criticize me on any subject ever! Don’t you know that the First Amendment only applies to conservative Christians? My grandpappy signed up after the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor, and he fought and bled *sniffs* and died (years later) so that “good Christians” may have more rights than all the ugly heathen scum! *sobs* You’ll never be as beautiful or as holy as me, no matter how many pageant-paid-for boob jobs you get or naughty pictures you commission!

God Has His Ways of Getting a Nation’s Attention

• As God’s Personal Prophet™©®, I’m warning you: if you don’t turn this country into a straight, white, male, conservative Christians-only club post haste — I’m talking Republic of Gilead-level theocracy — I…er…I mean God, will bring about terrorist bombs, earthquakes, tornadoes and possibly a meteor.
