21st Century 23d Psalm? "Bush is my shepherd...."

[buycitgo]

Bush is my shepherd, I shall be in want.
He maketh me lie down on park benches,
He leadeth me beside the still factories.
He restoreth my doubts about the Republican Party.
He leadeth me into the paths of unemployment for his cronies'
sake.

Yea, though no weapons of mass destruction have been found, he
maketh me continue to fear Evil.
His tax cuts for the rich and his deficit spending discomfort me.
He anointeth me with never-ending debt:
Verily my days of savings and assets are kaput.

Surely poverty and hard living shall follow me all the days of his
administration,
And my jobless child shall dwell in my basement forever.

4. yr wlcm

glad you could sneak in, amongst all the other posts

5. I'm trying to keep it kicked

So others can enjoy it-- I loved it!

My grandfather, who passed today, loved the 23rd Psalm and hated Bush-- it's very appropriate for this sad day in my life.

7. Yeah, but ..

Yeah, but for he who has threaded camels through needles,
There shall be no lamentations,
Thy people shall be hungry and destitute,
And ye shall rejoice.

But whereof shall thy find thee manservants, and maids,
Wherein shall the mantle of greatness be driven by men of color,
Wherein shall the rich be restored to the kingdom on earth.

Behold the dull prophet, the man of many words but few correct,
Behold he shall blaze a light of confusion and idiocy.
He shall bring forth the promised land,
And the people will lay down at thy feet for the scraps from thy table.

8. Likewise, the new and improved Sermon on the Mount

With apologies to the book of Matthew....

Blessed are the abundant in oil: for theirs is a kingdom on the Arabian Peninsula .
Blessed are the arrogant and self-righteous: for they shall inherit stock in Halliburton.
Blessed are the vengeful: for they shall wreak "shock and awe" upon the meek.
Blessed are the warmongers: for they shall be called the Grand Old Party.

Ye have heard that it hath been said, whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. But I say unto you, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: and whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn upon him an hundred sorties of bunker buster bombs.
And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have it from thy blessed assault weapon.

Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thine enemies, bless them that curse you, and do good to them that hate you. But I say unto you, Kill your enemies, torture them that offend thee, do pre-emptive strikes upon them that frighten you, then lay up for yourselves treasures upon earth.

(Book of Matthew, King George version)
