Bush tells us he hears the voice of God,
and that that voice drives his decisions. Well, on November 2 we're going to take the decisions away from him, when he hears the voice of the people!

GO KERRY!

Woohoo!

This is an optimistic day.

7. It's about "testing the spirits".
1 John 4:1

Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

13. The spirits Dubya likes to test most are...
Jack Daniels, Johnny Walker and Jim Beam.

Dubya: "Uh, gosh, I don't think I ever said I'd quit drinking and became a born again christian, that's kinda one of those uh,

2. It's not that God talks to Bush that worries me, but rather that He talks
to him in German.

12. delusions are not necessarily dangerous-- B*'s sociopathic personality IS
The fact that he hears the Devil speaking to him and thinks its God is interesting but what is frightening is that he seems to be a sociopath.

Bush Anything But Moronic, According to Author
Dark Overtones in His Malapropisms

by
Murray Whyte


When Mark Crispin Miller first set out to write Dyslexicon: Observations on a National Disorder, about the ever-growing catalogue of President George W. Bush's verbal gaffes, he meant it for a laugh. But what he came to realize wasn't entirely amusing. ...



..."I did initially intend it to be a funny book. But that was before I had a chance to read through all the transcripts," Miller, an American author and a professor of culture and communication at New York University, said recently in Toronto.


"Bush is not an imbecile. He's not a puppet. I think that Bush is a sociopathic personality. I think he's incapable of empathy. He has an inordinate sense of his own entitlement, and he's a very skilled manipulator. And in all the snickering about his alleged idiocy, this is what a lot of people miss."

4. Does God speak in a fake
Texan accent and can't S/He/It/They pronounce words like "nuclear" properly?

8. I know where he needs to go
UCSF (University of CA at San Francisco) has an in-patient unit called "Langley Porter." It's for psych patients. Maybe Georgie-poo needs some electro-convulsive schock therapy to stop those little "voices" in his head. . .

9. In psychiatry they refer to "hearing God's voice" as a symptom
of schizophrenia. But, if a President hears the voice, he's blessed.
Hmmm.

10. Sometimes God speaks to me too
Usually I'm drunk when it happens.......ohhhhhhhhhh, I get it. Now I can see why he thinks God talks to him.

14. If I went up to any mental health care professional
and told them that God speaks directly to me, they'd have me in a double breasted I-love-me waistcoat in a brace of shakes and would be showing me around my new padded room.

When the President says it, lots of people seem to think it's okay.

What a wonderful world.
