God has completely lost interest in Pat Robertson and let’s him do and say whatever he pleases. God figures that people who are worth his attention will see right through Pat; those who don’t aren’t worth bothering with. I know this because God told me so. He also said everything will be alright and that its all good. ---

As to what women want: A man who will treat them with respect. A man who will turn off the damn TV and listen when they talk. A man who will respond to their concerns. A man who knows when no response is wanted. A man who is wise enough to know the difference. A man who knows, understands, and acts upon the principle that little things mean a lot. A man who will, without being asked, hand them the TV remote and tell them to pick what they want to watch. A man who will hold them without trying to cop a feel. And a few other things that I will keep secret for the time being. ---
