U.S. President George W. Bush has apparently declared, in a program to be aired next week on the BBC, that God instructed him to "fight the terrorists" in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Dear readers, you won't believe this, but just as I was reading about comments the president made, I had a miraculous phone call from none other than the president himself . . . oops, I almost wrote Himself.
At first I thought it was a friend of mine who does a mean impersonation of Bush impersonating a drunk Woody Allen. But no, it was the man himself, and what he proceeded to say positively floored me. "Roger," he said, "I read your articles religiously and I think it's about time we had a powwow. I'll send you a ticket to Washington."
