Ah well, this reminds me of Suzanne’s post here. The implication of her post is that you ought to accept Queen Elizabeth as your head of state – indeed that the Bible requires it. That would avoid you having to elect a president, next year and indeed for ever.
Yes well, I’d be more inclined to go along if she had managed to spare you from the antics of Blair. And as for requirements I’m not called Henry the Heretic for nothing! 🙂
I have to admit that George Bush is the strongest evidence against the ID hypothesis that I’ve ever seen.
