Jesus, Moses and St. Peter walk into a Republican debate . . .

[tickler]

Sore belly time!!!

Republican presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann raised eyebrows with a weekend remark to supporters in Florida that Hurricane Irene, which killed at least 40 people in the United States and left millions without power, and an East Coast earthquake, were God's way of telling U.S. politicians to cut spending and fix the budget deficit.

And then the discussion starts between God, Jesus, Moses and St. Peter!

Place: Plagues and Judgments Committee Boardroom, Heaven.

God: Okay, thanks for coming everyone. I'll cut to the chase – I want to tell U.S. politicians to cut spending and fix the budget deficit. Suggestions?

St. Peter: How about an earthquake near Washington, D.C., followed by a hurricane that tears up the East Coast. That ought to do it.

God: Sounds right to me. How big an earthquake and what category the hurricane?

Moses: How about a good 9.1 on the Richter scale? Haven't had one of those in a while.

God: That's a bit Old Testament, don't you think? I'm thinking something more along the lines of 5 to 6, and just a Category 1 hurricane.

Noah (eagerly): Can we have flooding?

God (to Noah): You'd like that, wouldn't you. Okay, throw in some flooding, but nothing too drastic. Limit it to basement apartments in New York City. They're filled with divorced men, anyway.
