A Prayer to our President

Our Father, which art in the White House, hallowed be thy name.

Thy empire come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in the Oval Office.

Give us this day our daily dead,
And forgive us our trespasses against your credibility
as we attack them who dare to even think of attacking us.

And lead us not into the temptation to cut and run
But deliver us from the evil of diplomacy.

For thine is the empire, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever,
War without end. Amen.

Good by sadly chilling. I wish it weren't true.

Beautifully done!

And something told me, even before I checked the comments, that your prayer would be misconstrued as the usual knock on religion.

May I place this upon yon 4-foot high rigid foam recreation of a stone tablet to carry, yeah, to also display at nearest ongoing demonstration against the biblically-challenged Pater of the WhiteHouse to whom you doth pray in vain?

Thankyew,

Brilliant..the only "Lord's Prayer" this atheist will ever utter! Although, as SamanthaJaneSalem points out..Hemingway's version is most amusing in all it's "nadaness", as well.

That's better than Ernest Hemingway's version of the Lord's Prayer in "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" ("Our nada who art in nada, nada be thy name thy kingdom nada thy will be nada in nada as it is in nada . . ."). Considering Bush likes to say "You're either with me or against me" he must think he's bigger than Jesus (or the Beatles).
