HOLY CRAP! Did you READ what this bishop said?
George W. Bush Declared A Saint


President George W. Bush was scheduled to visit the Episcopal Church in NW Washington as part of his campaign to restore his 28% approval rating in the polls.

Karl Rove made a visit to the Bishop and said, "We've been getting a lot of bad publicity because of the President's position on stem cell research, the Iraq war, Hurricane Katrina, and the VA Hospitals. But, we'll make a $500,000 contribution to your church if during your sermon you will say that the President is a saint.

The Bishop thought it over for a few moments and finally said, The Church could really use the money - I'll do it."

The following Sunday, President Bush showed up for the sermon, and the Bishop began:

"I'd like to speak to all of you this morning about our President, George Bush. He is a liar, a cheat, and a low-intelligence weasel. He took the tragedy of September 11 and used it to frighten and manipulate the American people. He lied about weapons of mass destruction and invaded Iraq for oil and money, causing the deaths of tens of thousands and making the United States the most hated nation on earth.

"He appointed cronies to positions of power and influence, leading to widespread death and destruction during Hurricane Katrina. He awarded contracts and tax cuts to his rich friends so that we now have more poverty in this country and a greater gap between rich and poor than we've had since the Depression.

"He has headed the most corrupt, bribe-inducing political party since Teapot Dome Scandal.

"The national surplus has turned into a staggering national debt of 7.6 trillion Dollars, gas prices are up 85%, which the people of America cannot afford, and vital research into global warming and stem cells is stopped cold because he's afraid to lose votes from the religious right.

"He is the worst example of a true Christian I've ever known.

But compared to Dick Cheney, George W. Bush is a saint."

9. remember the cat threads?
Those cat threads were the uniquely DU fur-n-purr therapy,for frazzled nerves and snarky overdoses..Sometimes I think a 20,000 post long cat thread,full of insane adorableness might not even help at this point. I miss the old DU too.

11. Long ago
Cat threads(everyone put up the latest pictures of their cats, people lacking cats put up dogs puppies birds lizards rats ect..ect..)These threads were posted on the equivalent of GD when people got pissy with each other.And surprisingly people tended to chill after the pic fest of adorableness shared,and quit the ya ya. After all images of cute as pie kittens and cats have that effect on some..I think the cat threads were there to remind us that many of us had critters we all loved and by extension we do care for one another after all.
Been a long time since than.

7. If they make that shit head
Edited on Mon Mar-17-08 07:07 PM by undergroundpanther
a saint,then the whole world will finally be unable to continue to pretend the christian-Nazi church is about anything sacred or "holy". And I for one will break any statues and candles that may be made to invoke the asshole when I see them. I will melt the medallions and cast them into images of Sekhmet, charge them as golems to go and rend him,erase his name and devour him.
(Ceremonial Chaorder magickians can do that kind of metaphysical stuff..and sometimes it works as intended too :evilgrin: ).
I will continue to curse that POS to suffer forever..Ugh! Saint Shit-head.Please excuse me while I go to worship at the porcelain altar,! Damn.Lulzzzz..
