Faith-Based Government

The mainstream media scoffs at the President of Gambia for saying that his ancestors had revealed an aids cure to him in a dream. Unsurprisingly, the media doesn't believe the Gambian health minister when he claims that the president has developed "herbal concoctions that are able to treat and cure patients with HIV-virus, which have been proven within all medical and laboratory parameters."

Nevertheless, I'd feel a lot more comfortable about Western superiority if my own President had not "become convinced that he is stronger than Churchill because [he] "has God" and Churchill didn't. "

Not that I want Bush to start listening to his ancestors either.
