What a Laugh!

(4)

The Mississippi (?) Legislature has approved a bill which would allow gambling casinos to build on land. This seems to be an improvement on previous law which limited such neferious establishments to water. In view of the fact that many casino barges came ashore during hurricane Katrina and inflicted unnecessary damage to adjacent structures, so far so good.

But this development tends to conflict with Franklin Graham's conviction that God will use hurricane Katrina to create religious revival in the area. Can religious revival go hand in hand with a more legitimized gambling economy? That is the question.

There is yet another question: is God's real name Allah? Did Allah send the hurricanes of recent years against the United States in retaliation for the US invasion of Iraq? A very good case could be made for that, and many Muslims all over the world are convinced of the proposition.

Could the recognition of this theory be the reason why Pat Robertson seems to suddenly have learned so much about global weather? I think so. I think that poor Pat has actually taken refuge in Science! What a laugh!

They say that, 'the last refuge of scoundrels is patriotism.' Maybe. But now 'Science' seems to have been added to that dubious list.
