Asking for investment advice from a TeeVee religious huckster- these fucking people deserve to lose their money

Is that why he is getting Luke-warm recommendations?

Following Pat's advice will make you rich just as surely as it will get you into heaven. Or would, if heaven existed.

OT but that lovable scamp Robbie Ford has smashed the competition in his ward and won back his old councillor's seat with more than 4 TIMES the votes of his nearest competitor. And brother Doug is only 3 points behind the front-runner for mayor. And little nephew Mikey (who probably NEVER spoke in public at all, ever, during the whole campaign) won the school board seat with twice the votes of his nearest competitor. Mikey, 20 years old, high school graduate, and now working in the family business. Defeated a guy born in 1942, with 2 degrees, who worked as a teacher and served in the provincial legislature, and has been a trustee since 2006. The Ford Nation is a hell of a scary machine. ETA to add: Doug lost!! No more Mayor Ford!! (I can't believe I'm happy that John Tory won; he's a right-winger, but he's no Ford)

Pat Robertson is worth a couple billion; his investment advice must be solid gold, right?

As long as he is advising you to start a non-profit radio dj bidness that invites private folks to donate (I mean "subscribe") to, tax-free, and then buys a little-used tee-vee station down there in Floriduh with them donations, and keeps the Jesusin' folks up long enough to amass a colossal estate, a global media network, plus diamond mines, old wells, a little gold and coltan here or there (coltan is nice if'n you want to make cell phones to hear the Good Word on the go!) and flow something in the neighborhood of three-four mil a year, which will natcherly be given back to the Lord about two-thirds of the time in tax deductible donations to...wait, that says CBN, the Christian Broadcasting Network, which is owned by a guy who spells The Lord "Pat Robertson."

Bottom line: you, too, can make out pretty good by tax-deducting donations to your own business built on other people donating tax-deductions to you.

This Etobicoke place must be full of Mensa members.

gotta give Pat creds for recognizing a good grift when he sees one. After all he's not gonna be able to make that profit until a bunch of rubes are sitting at the bottom of that pyramid waiting to get dumped on. I guess the collection plate has been coming up light the past few years and he's had to diversify. After all, there is sooooo much competition in the fear mongering business these days. It's hard for the guy to keep up with Death Machine Cheney and his pals.

Notice how you never see God and Pat Robertson together? Even a God that's not all-knowing can see what a PR disaster that would be.
