God is Republican

It seems that God, the holy one, had surfaced somewhere in Pennsylvania . . . and he's a republican? Shit, we're screwed. Either that, or it's some wisenheimer who thought it would be funny to sign his voter registration card as GOD. I think the latter is accurate, as this news article from Yahoo News will tell you:

READING, Pa. - One registered Republican won't be able to vote in the next election unless he appears at a Berks County Elections Board to explain the signature on his registration form. The man is registered as Paul S. Sewell, Elections Director Deborah M. Olivieri said, but his form is signed "God."

County Solicitor Alan S. Miller said Sewell claims his "God" signature is merely a legal mark like the "X" used by people who are illiterate.

Sewell, 40, said he will be happy to explain. As the owner of a bail enforcement agency, he finds fugitives, he said.

"Whenever I go to arrest somebody, they say, 'Oh, God, give me another chance. Oh, God, let me go. I'll turn myself in tomorrow,'" Sewell said.

He said he thinks his designated mark is legal. "Penn DOT accepted it on my driver's license. I have a credit card with it," he said. "It shouldn't be a problem."

I want to be on this guy's side, but I don't want republicans thinking they can get away with impersonating the Creator. They already control the government, having them control the clergy would blow. Oh wait, who am I kidding, it's those crazy conservative republicans that run that already. Forget it, we're screwed either way.
