Absolutely fabulous, sweetie darling

Great. By the time this Administration leaves office, they'll probably even have Tony Blair's government
hating us.

BelliCOSE. BelliCOSE.
B-b-b-b-b-b-bellicosin' now.


I heard something truly frightening the other night when Madeleine Allbright was on Jon Stewart. She said that Bush honestly believes that God wanted him to be president and that anyone who disagrees with him or objects to his policies disagrees with God. So now we have the Infallibility Doctrine for the president, too?

I used to have a coworker that had the same belief -- "God is on my side!"

We kicked him off our research team. This is why we're known as anti-military in the research institute, because we're not shy about pointing out that all the military folks that've been assigned to our team are incompetent. Or in the last case, batshit insane.

We'd get the occasional batty military type on some of the research teams where I work, but mostly we've been pretty lucky there. However, the ones who think God makes them Right are totally scary. And that's not a slam against any particular religion. Reasonable religious folk always allow for human fallibility, but anyone of any religion who thinks they've got a lock on righteousness...SCARY.

This guy was a total piece of work -- he kept his dead cat's corpse in his freezer and asked for people's fingernails. That's freakish in a stalking "Are you aspiring to be a serial killer?" sort of way.

OMG! Even our battiest was nowhere close to that. =:0

I believed from the beginning that he felt that way.

[pjthompson]

I sort of did, but I hoped (haha) that he was as cynical as any other politicians and using it mostly to activate the Xtian Right and get elected. Somehow, having it confirmed that he really is that nutso is just too, too scary.

Oh yeah, Bush totally believes that he was appointed by God. It's sickening. He's trashing the separating Church and State. Nothing like a divinely annointed president, eh?

[pjthompson]

God Almighty! ;-)

Yes, praise Jesus and all that.

Hmmm worked for the Egyptians.

Seriously, that's pretty scary, though.

[pjthompson]

I can only imagine how scary it is for those outside the U.S. For those of us here who aren't part of the pogrom, it's frightening enough.

The British Monarchy used to believe they were appointed by god and therefore speaking for him. Right up until the time when one of them (James the something), lost his head over the argument when his government disagreed. Quite literally, I mean, as in detatched from the neck and rolling on the ground.

However, I don't think the trade of public executioner includes beheading anylonger.

Especially with the FBI and Der Homeland Security monitoring our email. ;-)

Seriously, FBI, I do not wish bodily harm on any of our duly elected officials. No terrorists here--no sirree!

It'd be nice to know what God will say about that when they finally meet... I'm thinking the whole torture ordeal will make that interaction very interesting.

[pjthompson]

Oh YEAH. But it couldn't be any worse than being raised by Barbara Bush. Meow.

I am so grateful I live north of the boarder. Your recent batch of presidents are so entertaining, bless their little cotton socks.

[pjthompson]

Clinton was entertaining--Bush and his crew are just scary as hell!
