Don't worry about this, I am perfectly willing to be your God. You may  
worship me for only $20 million (discount Gods - who knew?). I'll even  
buy my own car! This would be to tell me apart from the Gods of  
Capitol Hill who rely on publicly-funded limousines.

I will also need a helicopter for awhile as all the roads and bridges  
from northern Virginia into DC are being closed for the first time  
since the War Of Northern Aggression in 1861. This is being done to  
facilitate the coming Coronation of the Obamachrist. I'm all for the  
closures; should make things a lot safer in northern VA.
