Governor leads prayer for rain. Handling snakes for full employment on Sunday
Dimwit!
As Georgia descends deeper into drought, Gov. Sonny
Perdue has ordered water restrictions, launched a legal battle and asked
President Bush for help. On Tuesday, the governor will call on a higher
power.
He will join lawmakers and ministers on the steps of the state Capitol to pray for rain.
While public prayer vigils might raise eyebrows in other parts of the nation, they are mostly shrugged off in the Bible Belt, where turning to the heavens for help is common and sometimes even politically expedient.
The foolish lead the ignorant. It’s what American politics is all about.
