God Sick and Tired of Being Asked to Bless America

HEAVEN-- In a press conference today, Metatron, the Voice of God, announced that God was "sick and tired" of being asked to bless America.

"Frankly, I don't much blame him," Metatron added, "I mean, really. You people. Do you have any idea how many times we get that up here every minute? It really adds up. Why don't you ask Him to bless Rwanda or someplace? Seems to me like they could use a little more help."

One of God's Seraphim was more pointed saying, "What do all you Americans really want from him? Why don't you go admire your amber waves of grain and your purple mountain majesties, or are those not good enough for you anymore?"

The statement has shocked American clergy.

One clergy member, Archbishop Edward M. Egan of New York, reflected on the request saying, "I never really thought about it before, but I guess it almost seems a little ungrateful to Our Lord. I mean, He's already given us eternal salvation, freedom of religion, and pie, just to name a few things. Why do we have to keep asking for more."

God reportedly plans to use His new free time to watch re-runs of "The Flying Nun."
