    "Though the mills of God grind slowly, yet they grind exceedingly small;

    Though with patience He stands waiting, with exactness grinds He all."**

    "The divine power moves with difficulty, but at the same time surely,"*** AS WILL BE SEEN BY CRIMINALS bush & THE REST!!!!!

    AS bush, cheney & bushland REPUKEICANS TRY TO PAY OFF NEMESIS WITH THEIR ILL-GOTTEN HUMAN BLOOD-SOAKED GOLD!!!!!

    NEMESIS' "mighty hand is invisible, but the victim totters under the dire clutch,"* AND CRUSHES bush, cheney & bushlands' EXCREABLE BODS!!!!!
