Borowitz Report (satire): "Snow is God's Way of Punishing Americans...
Who Were Planning to Drive to Do Something Gay"

I especially liked the last line of this column:

http://www.borowitzreport.com/

"VIRGINIA BEACH (The Borowitz Report) – Rev. Pat Robertson sparked controversy in today’s broadcast of his 700 Club program when he claimed that God created the blizzard currently battering the Northeast “to punish Americans who were planning to drive to do something gay.”

Explaining his theory, Rev. Robertson said, “Because of the bad road conditions the Almighty has made, any gay activities that people were planning on doing will have to be postponed by a day or two."

...

In other blizzard-related news, the National Weather Service offered this update: “It’s as white as a Glenn Beck rally out there.”"

1. You think he added his bias into that interpretation?

I actually doubt he said that, it is beyond silly.

There are so many ways to show that as silly.



Maybe the snow is because nobody has sent me beer and travel money. See I can do that to.


Or maybe everyone was singing, let it snow, let it snow...


Or maybe it isn't even snowing, I am not on that coast, so how would I really know. TV? LOL.
