Local climate skeptic mocked on Daily Show

Some of the funniest stuff I've seen in a long time

Posted by Trina Stout at 12:07 PM on 20 Apr 2007

Remember that wacky Federal Way, Wash. father who opposed showing An Inconvenient Truth in public schools? ("Condoms don't belong in school, and neither does Al Gore!") Well, he's back, and on the Daily Show:

Some choice quotes, in case you can't watch the video:

"The global warming we're experiencing right now would have to be God's wrath ... These are precursors to the rapture, which should occur in about, you know, 5 to 7 years ..."

"If you have not accepted Jesus Christ, then you are basically left behind, and a bowl of God's anger is poured upon the sun, that allows the sun to burn ..."

"... waters of the earth, turned to blood, you can't drink it ..."

"... and God comes to live with us and we live with God, and I'm looking forward to having a recreational vehicle and spending a lot of time with my family."

Was he off his meds?

It was a funny skit, but the guy seemed to be disturbed. I know they edited it to make fun of the man, but when he talked about the world ending he was almost scary.

Oh wow that was funny...

and sad...but hilarious...and depressing...
