Coincidence? I Don't Think So


If you were thinking Hurricane Katrina was an act of God, you may need to reconsider.

In a revealing article on the Web site Dateline Hollywood, the true cause of this deadly hurricane has been exposed, and you might be shocked to learn that there's (probably) a k.d. lang fan club membership involved:

Pat Robertson on Sunday said that Hurricane Katrina was God’s way of expressing its anger at the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for its selection of Ellen Degeneres to host this year’s Emmy Awards. “By choosing an avowed lesbian for this national event, these Hollywood elites have clearly invited God’s wrath,” Robertson said on “The 700 Club” on Sunday. “Is it any surprise that the Almighty chose to strike at Miss Degeneres’ hometown?”

Robertson also noted that the last time Degeneres hosted the Emmys, in 2001, the September 11 terrorism attacks took place shortly before the ceremony.

“This is the second time in a row that God has invoked a disaster shortly before lesbian Ellen Degeneres hosted the Emmy Awards,” Robertson explained to his approximately one million viewers. “America is waiting for her to apologize for the death and destruction that her sexual deviance has brought onto this great nation.”

When contacted by the (212), Degeneres' publicist said that he could neither confirm nor deny the allegations, although he did go on to say that any involvement by his client in 9/11 was negligible at best.

First that whole Anne Heche thing and now this. Sounds like Ellen's got some explaining to do.

You might also note that practically all the motorcyclists made it out before Katrina hit. Coincidence? I think not! To avoid further catastrophe buy a motorcycle, God will love you more, guaranteed.

Pat might have something going there... after all Ellen was born and raised in New Orleans.

However, one slight flaw in his thinking... doesn't he know that God created award shows FOR gay people?

Dude, I don't know if you really want to mess with Pat Robertson. I mean, he killed Rehnquist through the power of prayer alone!

The site that you got this from is a satire site...not actual news...sorry to tell you this...a lot of people were fooled.

I think perhaps thebluestbutterfly is the one who was fooled: my post was a satire. I didn't really call Ellen's publicist for those comments, I was playing off the satire itself ... :-)

Ah....I think I missed a few sentences there. :-)

I see them now. :-)

I still believe that it is the wrath of God that disguised as Katrina. Something has to be done to show the people that they are losing their ways. A lot were killed, but the disaster grought a lot of possible things and united a seemingly divided nation.
