Be Careful What You Pray For
Sunday, August 31, 2008
Prior to the Democratic National Convention, a certain conservative Focus on the Family man asked his fellow like-minded religious fanatics, to pray to God for rain to drown out Obama's acceptance speech. Talk about unchristian behavior.
Apparently they prayed so hard, that indeed God did send rain. So much rain that they gave it a name: Gustav. So much rain that it's currently rated a level 3 hurricane. Unfortunately it missed the window they wanted and the place they wanted and instead is going to land tomorrow, in Louisiana, smack at the beginning of the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis. Now the Republicans are planning on postponing their convention a few days in lieu of what happened with Katrina. Would it be so bad to wonder what God thinks about the Republicans? He's listened to their prayers and decided to piss all over their convention. Hmmm. I think Alanis Morrisette would call this IRONIC.

love it. the irony is rich. hope no one gets hurt down south, and that everyone remembers the massive screw-ups of the Bush admin with Katrina.
I like the: "If God decides that rain of biblical proportions would be a good meteorological event for that night, and God always decides, then that would be good...." Hey, I guess God decided! What a chump.
does this fall under the category of be careful what you wish for? wow... they prayed for rain, and they shall receive it in abundance. let's hope everyone remembers that Bush and McCain were eating cake at McCain's birthday party when Katrina hit.
Excellent blog, Christy. I had to read it aloud to Erik so we could laugh about it together. I'm so relieved that Gustav didn't do more damage. Now then, let's hope Hanna, Ike and Josephine leave us all alone. If not, I guess I can just take comfort in the fact that God always decides and it will be good.
