As if Bush&#8217;s new interest in Mars wasn&#8217;t a hopeful signal that he&#8217;d given up on Earth (Martians beware!!), now he&#8217;s claiming the only solution to our problems is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lodinews.com\/articles\/2004\/01\/15\/ap\/Headlines\/d803dtc80.txt\">divine intervention<\/a>?  He knows he&#8217;s President, right?  Did someone tell him he was the Pope?  Should I take solace in the fact his domestic agenda is based on public funding of religious based efforts to save America?  Is it that he&#8217;s clueless so he&#8217;s turning it over to his god, or are we back to him being an instrument of the lord?  Neither makes me think he&#8217;s sporting gravy on his fries.<\/p>\n<p>In what may be the most Quayle-esque statement he&#8217;s made in a while, Bush left nothing to chance by emphasizing, &#8220;Faith-based programs are only effective because they do practice faith. It&#8217;s important for our government to understand that.&#8221;  Thanks for clearing that up George.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not bad enough that our foreign policy seems to have been designed by Yosemite Sam, our domestic policy was apparently developed by Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker.  Honestly&#8230; it&#8217;s getting embarrassing to be a U.S. citizen.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\">\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Brought to you by Tim&#8230;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/\">-Read the whole blog here-<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;- Oh ferchrisesake!!
