This 'God Bless America' everywhere is really starting to get to me.. Isn't it enough to have to listen to Bush drawl, "God Bless America" every time he gives a syntax-bumbling speech? Guess not. Now it's big business i.e. I get to stare at God Bless America -- Support Our Troops on the back of about one in three cars that don this tagline via magnetic ribbons. And this morning I found an ad in my Junkmail box -- God Bless America -- Support Our Troops Christmas ornaments! Just the notion of juxtaposing the birth of baby Jesus and all that he stood for next to a Made-in-China ornament exhorting God to bless a war in a country we have no business being in is just too grotesque to contemplate. Are these ornaments supposed to make the 56% of Americans now opposed to the war feel better by knowing that God blesses them? Or sleep better at night knowing we support our young troops? What?
