Inspired by the sight of all the Republican fat cats pretending that their lives are lived as an imitation of Christ, whose mission in life, as I understand it, was to comfort the sick and the poor and ready the rest of us for the Kingdom of Heaven, these candidates prefer to support the richest and most powerful as they vie with each other to express their contempt for the planet earth, as well as their hatred for the very "aliens," those strangers Christ would have comforted.

A bell rang in my head, no, not quite a bell, more like one of those light-bulbs that go on over the head of a cartoon character like Dagwood in "Blondie" as he comes up with an idea for a new sandwich. The gist of it is that Bush will leave office un-impeached thanks to a timid Democratic leadership and that this is an offense against man and God and the Constitution. So we will have to help God in accomplishing justice, if not on earth, in the hereafter. Thus the "Bush for Damnation" movement which I am starting here and now.
