Well, I guess there were lots of people doing creative thinking about what could come out of Pat Robertson's mouth next. Great piece from Pug News:

Pat Robertson Advocates Killing Obese People

quote:
HAMPTON ROADS, Vir. - Televangelist Pat Robertson says the United States is wasting precious resources on diets that don't work and "needs to consider other alternatives" in combating obesity.

Speaking on his Christian news-talk television show The 700 Club, Robertson said this country needs to launch a full scale War on Obesity, similar to the War on Terrorism and the War on Drugs; and if that means shooting obese people "to put them out of their misery," then so be it.

This is a good excuse to plug the fairly new, expanded and improved
humor section of the NDY website.

This is the newest link (we also have on-site articles) on the page.

And, for a short time only, we're also linking to this essay on the front page of our website. [Wink]

Of course, this article may have Robertson all wrong. Could be his next target will be comedians, humorists and satirists.
