Some more choice God-related items to go with Bush’s apparent schizophrenia:

Bush believes he was called by Go
d to lead the nation at this time, says Commerce Secretary Don Evans, a close friend who talks with Bush every day.

George W. Bush rises ahead of the dawn most days … he goes off to a quiet place to read alone. His text isn?t news summaries or the overnight intelligence dispatches … [instead] it?s a book of evangelical mini-sermons, ?My Utmost for His Highest.? … Bush told religious broadcasters that ?the terrorists hate the fact that… we can worship Almighty God the way we see fit,? and that the United States was called to bring God?s gift of liberty to ?every human being in the world.?

Attorney General Ashcroft ritually anoints himself daily with “holy” Crisco-brand cooking oil because the “ancient kings of Israel, David and Saul” had done so.

Gimme some sugar, baby! It’s like Army of Darkness, for real. Albertsons supermarket bagboy goes postal, hacks several astonished shoppers to death with broadsword.

A man wielding a samurai-style sword killed two people and wounded three others at an Irvine supermarket … Wearing a green beret and a long, dark coat, the Santa Ana man pulled out a sword with a 3-foot blade and calmly attacked in silence, almost beheading one of his victims. As he roamed the store, employees armed with barbecue utensils, mayonnaise jars and trashcan lids tried to corner him.

“I’m extremely surprised, shocked. He was a good guy,” Cherry said. “He was real intellectual” and often spoke about history and religion. He was pleasant with customers at Albertsons. But he often seemed depressed, and some who knew Parker say he was on medication for his mental state. He talked to himself. But during conversation, Parker seemed to struggle to form what he wanted to say, said Becky Guerra, who lived in the Irvine condo complex where Parker had rented a room. “He seemed like a nice guy.”

The couple confessed, Brownsville police have testified, to severing their children’s heads with a large kitchen knife, pausing to clean house and have sex between the slayings. Camacho told police she and Rubio killed the children because they believed they were possessed by the devil … “Both of the girls started making weird noises like if they were laughing at us. The two girls kept hitting each other as they made their weird noise,” Camacho said in her statement. “Then Mary Jane started staring right at my eyes, real bad, like with anger and evil at the same time. John told me the girls had the devil in them.”

Autopsies show that three South Texas children were smothered, then stabbed several times before their heads were severed … The children’s father, according to a relative, had recently reported hearing family members’ voices coming from the youths and that the devil had been speaking to him.

Bush said: “God told me to strike at al Qaida and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me I will act and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focus on them.”

Let’s not forget to ask the president another question: Do you really plan to forget about Middle East peace next year, because you will be too busy trying to get re-elected.
