I guess today is the Battle of the Buffoons.

In the red corner is Pat Robertson, who suggested in all seriousness yesterday that God is deeply upset and may seek retribution over a few hundred votes cast in a local school board election in central Pennsylvania this week (Dover, pop. 1,914). This comes just weeks after Robertson made news doing the Lord's work by publicly calling for assasinating a foreign head of state (he apologized for the remark two days later).

In the blue corner is John Cusack who, somewhere in the middle of this interminably long blather at the Huffington Post, calls Jon Stewart "the most important media watchdog right now" and a "vanguard." I like Stewart as much as the next person but if, as Cusack says, he's "all we've got right now" then Hollywood liberals have indeed reached the end of their rope - and perhaps their meds as well. A thread from the comments says it best: " Love your movies! Love your sister! Hate your painfully long blog post filled with weird metacharacters!"

So who wins? I'd have to give this one to Robertson in a split decision.
