>Dear True Christians and Real Americans:
>
>Well, I watched President Bush's State of the Union address last night.
>Our nation is at war, our economy is in recession and the civilized world
>faces unprecedented dangers! No wonder the President's niece Noelle was in
>such a rush to load up on Xanax! Poor thing. (More, of course, on her
>later – solely out of Christian concern, mind you.)
>
>Apparently nostalgic for a time when the wars were more convenient to get
>to, the President kept mentioning "Tara." As a member of God's Own Party,
>I really don't care where this so-called "war" is or whose landscaping we
>ruin – just as long as we can string it out until after the next
>elections. Praise!
>
>In the face of death threats from nuts killing for God, our reasoned
>response has been to return the favor and adopt the Lord as our own
>bellicose mascot. The President intoned: "Especially in tragedy... God is
>near." As I watched the World Trade Center towers crumble in the
>faith-based initiate on September 11, I, too, thought "God is near." Sort
>of like Robert Wagner, standing on the deck of the "Splendor" with a
>martini – passive, yet near, as dear Natalie Wood flailed away.
>
>As a rather adept marketer of Christianity, I applaud the use of any pithy
>catchphrase. Nevertheless, is it just me or does anyone else notice that
>when the President says, "Let's roll!" he looks as if he is about to reach
>instinctively for a Zip-loc bag and a packet of Zig Zag papers?
>
>As we all know, children's learning is so important to my dear friend the
>First Lady that she has devoted almost 3.5% of her life to teaching in
>schools. After Columbine and all the other horrible incidents in the past
>several years, I was somewhat surprised that the President didn't devote
>more time to talking about our nation's schools – other than to say
>"Thousands of dangerous killers, schooled in the methods of murder are
>like ticking time bombs set to go off without warning."
>
>Did any of you see Linda Lay, the wife of the ex-chairman of Enron, on the
>Today Show this week? Just seeing my poor sister-in-Christ Linda crying on
>morning television, telling everyone how she has been wiped out almost
>broke my Christian heart. Some of you may scoff at her plight, but you
>have no idea what it is like to be shopping at Prada or Lamborghini, go to
>write a check and have to try to remember those unwieldy numbers they put
>on those Swiss or Cayman Islands bank accounts! No wonder she is furious
>with her husband: it must be horrible to know you can buy an island in the
>Bahamas, but not pick up the check at the local steak house because
>everything you own is "off shore."
>
>Several of you have written to me asking why I haven't done a film review
>of "The Lord of the Rings." Well, the reason was quite simple. I didn't
>need to sit through a three-hour movie to learn the power of quality jewelry.

>Betty Bowers Opens Halfway House Exclusively For Bush Children
>
>Just say: "No! elle" This week, Jeb Bush's adult daughter Noelle was
>arrested for trying to swindle a pharmacy out of a bottle of Xanax. What I
>found most alarming about the story is that a patrician Republican was
>shopping at Walgreens! According to an AP report, Noelle has, since 1995,
>received seven speeding tickets, been cited for five other traffic
>violations and been involved in three automobile crashes, according to
>Florida Records. Honestly, with W driving drunk and Laura killing someone
>at a stop sign, if the Office of Homeland Security takes our domestic
>safety seriously, can't it get limos for each and every relative of our
>President?

>you all available copies of "What Would Betty Do?" when they arrive on
>March 5th.
