A Saturday Prayer

Let us pray (from one of my "field reporters")...

The 23rd Qualm ~ Written by a retired Methodist minister

Bush is my shepherd; I dwell in want. He maketh logs to be cut down in national forests. He leadeth trucks into the still wilderness. He restoreth my fears. He leadeth me in the paths of international disgrace for his ego's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of pollution and war, I will find no exit, for thou art in office. Thy tax cuts for the rich and thy media control, they discomfort me. Thou preparest an agenda of deception in the presence of thy religion. Thou anointest my head with foreign oil. My health insurance runneth out. Surely megalomania and false patriotism shall follow me all the days of thy term, And my jobless child shall dwell in my basement forever. -- Annette P. Bingham

And from a mock prayer we turn to the words of a man for whom prayer is anything but insincere (Julia Gorin's latest freeper smear of him will begin momentarily).
