Evangelist and political activist Pat Robertson is stepping down as chief executive officer of Christian Broadcasting Network and will be replaced by his son Gordon, the elder Robertson announced today.

Pat Robertson, 77, founded the network in 1960 and grew it into a national powerhouse, with cable and broadcast outlets across the country. He’ll stay on as chairman.

“I thought that some of this day-to-day operation was important to pass down the line, especially to somebody a little more adept at figuring out the new technologies coming at such a bewildering speed to all of us,” Pat Robertson said in his announcement on The 700 Club, which Gordon Robertson produces.

Nowhere near my house, but still interesting.  But there is an Outback Steakhouse down the street, maybe he was heading there?

LEWISVILLE – Police found themselves in a chase over the weekend that involved a suspect of the hopping kind.

As a veterinarian was putting up Christmas lights at his Lewisville home, authorities said a 60-pound Kangaroo that was left in his care managed to escape out of the home’s back gate.

When police arrived on the scene to help in its capture, the kangaroo then led police on a 15 minute chase as it hopped “around in circles.”

When the chase reached just about the area it all began, authorities said the pursuit finally came to an end as Officer Scott Haney managed to catch the animal by its tail as it ran right between his legs.
