The 23rd Qualm

Got this in an email from my friend Elena.

To all: Since prayer, to whichever Deity you prefer, seems to be the only hope for the nation, I am sending the following to be used in your service of choice.

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 spinning,
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.

Amen
