… like Bono. Quickly bouncing back after being outed as a possible antichrist, he showed up at the 54th Annual Prayer Breakfast in Washington, where he received fulsome praise during President Bush’s speech, and owned up in his own case to possibly suffering from a “messianic complex.” Christianity Today also quotes this from Bono’s remarks:

“After 9/11, we were told America would have no time for the world’s poor. We were told that America would be taken up with its own problems of safety. … But America has not drawn the blinds and double-locked the doors.” Bono said. “You have doubled aid to Africa. You have tripled funding for global health. And Mr. President, your emergency plan for AIDS relief and support of the Global Fund, has put 700,000 people onto life-saving antiretroviral drugs and provided 8 million bed nets to protect children from malaria. … But here’s the bad news. There is so much more to do. There is a gigantic chasm between the scale of the emergency and the scale of the response.”

Messiah or antichrist, you have to give him credit for persistence.

Addendum: Things might be more complicated than I thought: BushIsAntichrist.com. Why am I always the last to hear these things?
