In a 2004 Lancaster, Penn., speech reported in the local newspaper, the Lancaster New Era, Bush said to a group of Amish, "I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn't do my job." (link)

Rerun time is over.
Very early Monday morning, a plane touched down, a car drove along a dark and deserted freeway, and my wife and I found ourselves finally back at home. True, we did have a late night diversion to Denny's because we were starving, but by 2 AM or so we were back home. Time to go…
So: Sheril and I have decided to do something special this week.
You see, as the author of a recent Seed cover story on how the presidential candidates need to demonstrate scientific leadership, I was pleasantly surprised to find Hillary Clinton seize this very issue last week, with an inspiring…
Here's the difference between me and Michael Bérubé: he gets labeled a dangerous radical and profiled in David Horowitz's new book, while all I get is a

...and it's easy to see why the right is so up in arms over Obama's plan to start off the new school year by talking to students.

By the way, I believe that goddogit may have made a minor typo: I believe he meant "mouse fart of God."
(Backgound noise of party, then a voice with a thick Texas drawl: "That Jeeesus, what a great party animal. And this water-into-wine, great stuff. I'm gonna see JC hisself to set up a bottling contract.")
One minor point. Bush's statement is eerily similar to one by the character Michael in Robert Heinlein's Stranger In A Strange Land.
Very strange similarity.
