palin - praise the lord and pass the depleted uranium

For a moment I thought I finally had it.  The missing link.  Sarah Palin and oddly-named offspring are all the creation of Michael Palin (of Monty Python fame).   Then I remembered that most, if not all of the Python output is actually funny.  This is just sick.

From a video of a speech Palin gave at a church:

Palin told students about her oldest son, 19-year-old Track, who is set to be deployed to Iraq this month with the U.S. Army. She urged students to pray “that our leaders — that our national leaders — are sending [soldiers] out on a task that is from God.”

“I can do my part in working really, really hard to get a natural gas pipeline, about a $30 billion project that’s going to create a lot of jobs for Alaska. … [but] I think God’s will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built, so pray for that,” she said. “I can do my job there in developing our natural resources, in doing things like getting the roads paved and making sure our troopers have their cop cars and their uniforms and their guns, and making sure our public schools are funded. But really that stuff doesn’t do any good if the people of Alaska’s hearts aren’t right with God.”

She must be related to the group who published that article about abortions being responsible for earthquakes in Mexico.

Oh well, she’ll be worthy successor to George Bush, who God actually spoke to.  It is widely suspected that God used to consult George for advice on the Big Decisions.
