My Prayer Perdue Will Do His Job

Once again a southern state is a national laughingstock. This time we get to thank Gov. Perdue who led a prayer for rain on the capitol steps. Asking for God's help in ending the drought wouldn't have been on my top 10 ideas of things to help Georgia right now. You know what would be number 1 on that list? A water plan. Maybe God will give Perdue one. Can we bow our heads?
It did rain that night, more than an inch in some places. This would be more impressive if weather forecasting hadn't been invented. You see, rain was forecast before the vigil. Check out the last paragraph in the UPI story cited above. If you're interested, here's a good site analyzing the rainfall. Still, in the off chance this works, here's my prayer for Georgia:
Dear God (or Allah, or Goddess, or Flying Spaghetti Monster, or whatever),
Please help Georgia survive idiotic politician unable to manage the basic functions of governing.
Please help the people of Georgia deal with stupid elected officials who, instead of doing their job, instead engage in photo opportunities designed to deflect attention from the fact they haven't been doing their job.
Oh mighty Lord (or insert whatever here), please grace us with the patience to accept the stupid people we cannot change, the stupid politicians we can change, and the wisdom to know the difference.
And would it kill you cut the Falcons some slack?
