Bush is hearing voices again, so keep a close eye on your SSIAs

IF, as Shakespeare once almost remarked, you have any SSIAs to shed, prepare to spend them now.

The bard may not have been celebrated as a financial consultant, but he was a shrewd enough commentator on the political and social issues of the day.

If he were around today, he might just be writing about bunkers as a good investment for that windfall.

Nuclear bunkers, that is.

But Dubya has the edge because he hears voices. Only this week he admitted as much at a White House press conference. One of them was probably God’s.

In trying to discuss world affairs with the Almighty, which he does regularly, Dubya either got a distorted connection or a crossed line.

It doesn’t really matter which because he uses God merely to confirm his own opinions and, anyway, it goes down well with the Bible Belt electorate if they believe he’s on speaking terms with Himself.

1. Bush is the best argument for only electing atheists or agnostics-
at least they will never think "God" is talking to them.
