I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

I, George W. Bush, an evil Republican fascist, used God to inflict pain on the world, end life, facilitate death, create militant jihad rebels, and to let youths die for nothing.

And sorry for the double post... but I can't believe that actually is AN ANAGRAM... and possibly an anugram as well    ;D

I thought that was a joke at first until I looked at it carefully and realised that IS ACTUALLY AN ANAGRAM!!!! Holy hell... I wonder who made it up????

I tried one of those brain-twister tests the other day. I didn't have much problem with the math and pattern questions, but when it came to scrambled words I'm helpless. They bother me.
