Imagine if the show was good!

I went to mail a letter today and the mailbox was locked. They lock mailboxes?

I’m not sure I can imagine a scenario in which I’d vote for any Republican candidate in November, but if Mike Huckabee is still the front-runner by then, we could be in trouble. What’s worse, a President who claims to occasionally talk with God, or one who refuses to sign disaster relief because it might possibly make God look bad?

No, seriously, Huckabee did that:

ARKADELPHIA, ARK. — Five days after the tornado tore through the state, this city of 10,000 lay in ruins. The cyclone destroyed an office building, a bank, a pharmacy and 70 other businesses. The electricity was out. The National Guard patrolled the streets. Six people were dead.In Little Rock, GOP Gov. Mike Huckabee was reviewing a disaster insurance measure that he intended to support when he became troubled: The bill, drawing on centuries-old legal terminology, referred to natural disasters as “acts of God.”

He refused to sign what should have been a simple and straightforward state senate bill because it painted God in a slightly unflattering light.

“While I realize that to some this is a minor issue, it is a matter of deep conscience with me to attribute in law a destructive and deadly force as being an ‘act of God,’ ” he eventually wrote to the bill’s sponsors, Young and Sen. Wayne Dowd. While acknowledging that “acts of God” was the “appropriate” legal term, he suggested the legislature substitute “natural disaster.”

And, as any good Christian knows, God has nothing to do with nature.

I swear, reality has made The Onion and its like obsolete.

I think maybe it’s time to dust off and update my old resume. There’s a web link on the current version that, I am a now little disturbed and surprised to discover, redirects to a porn site.

This might be of great use in the unlikely event that I ever choose to take up that career in pornography, but it’s not so great when all I’m trying to link to is this and highlight the short time I spent writing there.
