On Christmas Eve day my gift
a wonderful joke for us all. Kind of




GEORGE BUSH IN HEAVEN

We're looking into the future here: George W. Bush passes. His > soul arrives in heaven and he is met by St. Peter.

"Welcome to heaven," says St. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem: We seldom see a Republican around these parts, so we're not sure what to do with you."

"No problem," says Bush, "just let me in; I'm a believer."

"I'd like to accommodate you, but I have direct orders from Him: He says you have to spend one day in hell and one day in heaven. Then you must choose where you'll live for eternity."


But, I've already made up my mind; I want to be in heaven."

"I'm sorry, but I must follow orders."

And with that, St. Peter escorts him to an elevator and he goes down, down, down, all the way to Hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a lush golf course; the sun is shining in a cloudless sky, the temperature a perfect 72 degrees. In the distance is a beautiful clubhouse. Standing in front of it his dad and thousands of other Republicans who had helped him out over the years --- Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, Jerry Falwell. The whole of the "Right" is here, everyone laughing, happy; casually but expensively dressed. They run to greet him, hug him, and reminisce about the good times they had getting rich at expense of the "suckers and peasants."

They play a friendly game of golf, then dine on lobster and caviar. The Devil himself comes up to Bush with a frosty drink and says, "Have a Margarita and relax, Dubya!"

"Uh, I can't drink no more, I took a pledge," says Bush, dejectedly.

"Hell, son," says the Devil, "This is Hell. You can drink and eat all you want and not worry, and it just gets better from here!" George takes the drink and finds himself liking the Devil, who seems like a really friendly guy who tells funny jokes and pulls hilarious! nasty pranks. Kind of like a Yale Skull and Bones brother with real horns. They are having such a great time that, before he realizes it, it's time to go. Everyone gives him a big hug and waves as Bush steps on the elevator and heads upward.

When the elevator door opens, he is in heaven again and St. Peter is waiting for him. "Now it's time to visit heaven," the old man says, opening the gate.

So for 24 hours Bush is made to hang out with a bunch of pleasant, good-natured people who enjoy each other's company, talk about things other than money, and treat each other decently. Not a nasty prank or frat boy joke among them; no fancy country clubs and, while the food tastes great, it's not caviar or lobster. He doesn't run into anybody he knows, and he isn't even treated like someone special!

Worst of all, Bush decides that Jesus seems be some kind of Jewish hippie with his endless 'peace' and 'do unto others' stuff. "Whoa," says George to himself, "Pat Robertson never prepared me for this!"

The day done, St. Peter returns and says, "Well, then, you've spent a day in Hell and a day in Heaven. Now you must choose where you wish to live for eternity."

With the 'Jeopardy' theme playing softly in the background, Bush reflects for a minute, then answers, "Well, I would never have thought I'd say this. I mean, heaven has been delightful and all but I really think I belong in Hell with my friends." So Saint Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down, all the way to Hell. The elevator doors open, and Bush finds himself in the middle of barren, scorched earth, covered with old tires, garbage and toxic industrial waste. He is horrified to see all of his friends dressed in rags and chained together, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags. They are groaning and moaning with pain, faces and hands black with grime. The Devil comes over to George and puts an arm around his shoulder.

"Welcome back, George. Good choice."

"I don't understand," stammers a shocked Bush. "Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and a clubhouse and we ate lobster and caviar and drank booze. We screwed around and had a great time. Now it's just a wasteland full of garbage and everybody looks miserable!"

The Devil looks at him, smiles slyly, and purrs, "Ah, but > yesterday we were campaigning; today you voted for us."
