Strange and Wonderous Ways

I don't know why this didn't occur to me before...

In November of 2000, partly because of some highly questionable maneuvers by his brother in the critical state of Florida, George W. Bush assumes the Presidency of the United States. Questions remain as to the legitimacy of poll results in his brother's backyard.

All is quiet until the 2004 election heats up. A few months before Election Day, Florida gets socked with four separate hurricanes in quick succession; Charley in August, then Francis, Ivan and Jeanne in September. It's like God is trying to warn Jeb Bush to keep his hands off the election results this time. It works; the questionable results arise in Ohio rather than Florida. Nevertheless, people are sufficiently cowed by world and domestic events that they return Dubya to the White House.

This is not a Presidential election year, and Jeb Bush has stated positively that he won't run in 2008, but the hurricanes have started even earlier than usual in Florida. Hurricane Dennis smacked into Pensacola in July, and now Katrina is causing problems down in the south. There's been more deadly storm activity in that state over the last two years than at practically any time in the past. Poor Jeb.

I say that God is still very unhappy with the 2000 Presidential election results and he's letting the citizens of Florida know it, loud and clear.



Well heck, it makes as much sense as Ann Coulter's accusations of murder against Hillary Clinton, or Rush Limbaugh's statements that Cindy Sheehan has forged documents in the course of her vigil at Bush's "ranch" in Crawford (???).
