abc.net.au reports that thousands of marines on duty in iraq have been given a pamphlet instructing them to pray for president bush, including a tear-out section to be mailed to the white house pledging that the soldier who sends it has been praying for bush. the pamphet is produced by a group called "in touch ministries".

touch this. (pointing)

Tear Out Section

Coming from a family of Marines, I can say with certainty I'm sure most of them DID tear it out and then promptly wiped their ass on it. Although, it does remind me of that scene in my alltime favorite movie Nine to Five. What a timeless, brilliant, classic! In the bathroom "Did you get my Memo?" "Yes, Roz, I tore right through it."

This gives me the wonderful mental image of Dolly Parton hog tying Pres. Chucklehead.

"And he's out of the shoot ladies and gentlemen. Lets see how long it takes her to hog tie this sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical, warmongering bigot."

You know what? I like Dolly Parton! Call me weird, but I admire her un-pretentious brand of shmaltz.

Huh. Someone else linked to http://www.sundaymail.co.uk/news/page.cfm?objectid=12789699&method=full&siteid=86024 and said it was British marines who were so instructed. But I can't even connect to sundaymail at the moment.

Preston's cousin (either in Kuwait or Iraq, not sure) is probably fervently praying for Bush. "You GO TO HELL. You GO TO HELL AND YOU DIE!"

If anyone's praying for anyone, you'd think it'd be the other way around!
