Jacob's bad luck: Is it . . . Satan?
You absolutely cannot make up stuff like this. This is all I can take.. I am leaving DU for the rest of the day.

Bedeviled: His business deals have been delayed, keeping him from fully funding his campaign
By Robert Gehrke

As if beating a five-term congressman wasn't hard enough, John Jacob said he has another foe working against him: the devil.
"There's another force that wants to keep us from going to Washington, D.C.," Jacob said. "It's the devil is what it is. I don't want you to print that, but it feels like that's what it is."
Jacob said Thursday that since he decided to run for Congress against Rep. Chris Cannon, Satan has bollixed his business deals, preventing him from putting as much money into the race as he had hoped.
Numerous business deals he had lined up have been delayed, freezing money he was counting on to finance his race.
"You know, you plan, you organize, you put your budget together and when you have 10 things fall through, not just one, there's some other, something else that is happening," Jacob said.
Asked if he actually believed that "something else" was indeed Satan, Jacob said: "I don't know who else it would be if it wasn't him. Now when that gets out in the paper, I'm going to be one of the screw-loose people."

Oh, there is much more of this at:

3. The one he'd be replacing, Chris "Loose" Cannon
is screwy enough as it is! Lots of screwballs come out of Utah Rethug politics.

4. He doesn't think....
that he's one of the "screw loose" people now? If not he's in deeper trouble than he can imagine.

Besides, everyone knows that Satan is Vice-President. Does he really think Cheney has the spare time to meddle in his business what with dividing his time helping his Imp to run the country and keeping Hell running smoothly at the same time? ;)

5. Funny how when things go your way, it's God's will.
When they don't, it's Satan's. Moron.
