talk about obvious...

That "Belaboring the obvious" tagline doesn't seem to be very original. Slacktivist has been Stating the obvious since June 2002, and stickybuffalo.com has been belaboring the obvious since 2001. Guess that makes us an obvious triumvirate...

Don't miss Slacktivist's series on daily devotions with our president ("Once again, let's read along with President Bush in his daily devotional of choice, My Utmost for His Highest, by Oswald Chambers...") e.g. March 4, March 5. From 3/4:

...Chambers' theme is the sovereignty of God. This same theme is expressed in the old gag about summarizing the Old Testament in five words: "God is God. You're not."

That's a useful mantra for any head of state -- even for a state governor -- who appears to wield godlike power over the life or death of others. It's a reminder that God's rule and God's rules apply even to "the most powerful man on earth." Even those rules about just and un-just wars.

Maybe that's why the president looked so troubled this morning.
