Prayers of Mass Destruction

Terry Heaton blogs an interview with Anniesj who got a friendly visit from the Secret Service after she blogged — irked by Bush's talk of prayer — that she was praying that God would inspire Bush and his pals to commit mass suicide. Anniesj seems to think she's actually done something worth being investigated for. Terry concludes:

...if you're a blogger, for crying out loud be careful about what you post, even in the comments section of somebody else's blog. The first amendment is not absolute, and it's pretty easy to find you.

I conclude that when the Secret Service can tell you what you are and are not allowed to pray for — especially when you're writing satire — this country has had it.

I personally pray the Rapture comes before Nov. 2 and that it takes Bush and his cronies to Hell to do some nation-building.

Secret Service might allow more things. Prayers are good.

Yes, if Jesus is coming back, now would be an *excellent* time for him to do so. But makes me wonder...are we just imploring Jesus to protect us from his followers?
