Let's celebrate Dubya losing his brain...

Emotional speeches today as Karl Rove - said to be the brain of President George Bush - announces he is to leave the White House at the end of the month.

The hidden hand of Karl Rove was widely believed to have orchestrated the campaign which may have stopped a Democrat from entering the White House in 2004.

Astonishly, the GOP managed to turn John Kerry's exemplary war record in Vietnam from an asset to a millstone, as the anti-Kerry Swift Boat Veterans for Truth were pushed onto the US airwaves night after night to successfully knock the Democrat's prospects.

The fact that Dubya never went to Vietnam, and Kerry fought for his country seemed to get lost in the hype and spin.

True, the Democrats fought a poor campaign with a weak message in 2004 - as they had done in 2000 when Al Gore won the popular vote for the Democrats, but lost the Presidency in the legal battle of the chads...

But without Karl Rove, Bush may well have been sunk in both the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections.

And today, the world may be a very different place.

So today's news is not a cause for tears.

It's cause for celebration.

Are you a Godly miracle worker...? Here's your ideal job!

Are you a Godly miracle worker looking for loadsa money for a few hours a fortnight...? I've discovered an amazing job opening made for you... This is a serious job advert on an Ohio employment agency website called Craigs List:

Greetings to the followers of Our Lord Jesus Christ! We are looking for a faith healer to officiate over our healing services we will be conducting every other Saturday in Avon Lake, Ohio. The far westside of Cleveland.

We are looking for a Godly man of Christ who has a proven track record of miracle healing by laying-of-hands or by saying the word. Someone who is filled with the Power of the Holy Spirit to cure illness and infirmities in the Body of Christ.

Please contact us at your earliest convenience if the Holy Spirit is calling you to our ministry.
Don't send your CV to me. Apply directly to Pastor Julius and Elder Tom at the Kingdom Church of Jesus Christ. If you're the right person, I'm sure you'll already know how to contact them.

The good news is that the hours are minimal and the 'compensation' (which I assume is a polite American word for wages) is a cool $150,000.

The bad news is that's a year, not per appearance...

I note that there's a banner ad on Craigs List which warns Beware of Scams...You have been warned.

New York Times website invites ideas for most horrific terror attack...

'If You Were a Terrorist, How Would You Attack?' was the title of a highly irresponsible post published on the New York Times website yesterday.

The writer speculates what kind of outrage would most scare America and invites readers to comment with their most horrific idea to create maximum terror for minimum effort.

If this crazy nonsense is not a criminal offence, isn't it time it was...?
