Anybody else hearing voices?

by Volker Weber

It was 1980 when the Blues Brothers were on a mission from God. Now it's only one with the finger on the trigger. And he is hearing voices, according to the BBC:

Nabil Shaath says: "President Bush said to all of us: 'I'm driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, "George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan." And I did, and then God would tell me, "George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq …" And I did. And now, again, I feel God's words coming to me, "Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East." And by God I'm gonna do it.'"

Kinda reminds me of this:

A cat burglar is going about his business burgling a house. He stops every so often when he hears a voice saying: 'Jesus is watching you. Jesus will get you.' He moves to another room and hears the voice again: 'Jesus is watching you. Jesus will get you.' He turns the light on and sees a parrot in the corner of the room. 'Is that you?' he says, 'saying Jesus is watching you, Jesus will get you?' The parrot says, 'Yes, of course.' The burglar says, ' What's your name?' The parrot replies, 'Clarence.' The burglar shrieks, 'Clarence? What kind of idiot gives a bird a stupid name like Clarence?' And the bird replies, 'The same idiot that called that rottweiler over there Jesus!'

[Thanks, Richard]

Gods voice can best be heard in the middle east, and the mid west. Good thing Buddah keeps his mouth shut, we would be in serious trouble if the Chineese had a talking god :)

I'm trying to imagine a german polititian doing that - he'd be taken away in a strait jacket in no time...
