Conquer Club

Just in time for another round of the "War on Christmas," President George W. Bush has given an interview with ABC in which he discusses his views on the role God plays in his own life and in geopolitical events, in general. While Bush declines to state that "the Almighty" selected him personally for the job of president, he does believe he communicates with God via prayer. To those who have followed Bush's views on faith, this will come as no surprise. The president, after all, famously revealed that in one such prayer session, God seemed to give him the green light to invade Iraq. What may ruffle religious feathers, however, is Bush's view that the Bible is "probably not" to be taken literally. And that evolution is in no way incompatible with the teachings of Christianity. That last point will cause some head-scratching. Isn't this the same president, after all, who advocated the teaching of "intelligent design" in public schools? Watch:

LOL
I agree with you entirely! Either say you believe what's in the Bible or say you don't, it can't be both. I can respect someone who doesn't believe a word in the bible and I have more respect for a fundamentalist christian than one who tells me that just because the bible says the earth was made in 7 days doesn't mean that. Take a stance damn it!

Awww crap.

For every lie, 1 second passes on the clock. George Washington had his clock move ahead only the 1 second. Abraham Lincoln had his clock move only 3 seconds. When asked about George W. Bush's clock, an inside advisor of the whitehouse replied that Bush uses his clock as a ceiling fan.

5. Misunderestimate things.

Old old old joke that has been used for lots of presidents.
