Quote:OW, THEREFORE, I, RICK PERRY, Governor of Texas, under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and Statutes of the State of Texas, do hereby proclaim the three-day period from Friday, April 22, 2011, to Sunday, April 24, 2011, as Days of Prayer for Rain in the State of Texas. I urge Texans of all faiths and traditions to offer prayers on those days for the healing of our land, the rebuilding of our communities and the restoration of our normal way of life.

Quote:Drought has spread over much of the South this year, setting records from Louisiana to New Mexico. But the situation is especially severe in Texas, the nation's second-largest agriculture state behind California.
Quote:At this point, Texas would need more than 4.5 inches of rain in the next two months to avoid breaking the 1956 record for driest 12 consecutive months.
So it seems that Perry was so busy listening to 'god' tell him to run for president that he missed the part where 'god' told him to stick his prayers up his ass.
That "hoping mumbling incoherently will cause water not present in the air to come down as rain" shit probably did increase the number of evengelicals who would vote for him either in his reelection or his presidential campaign, so the real prayer behind his prayer probably worked, although not through any intervention by the supernatural.
BTW, how do you think the world's opinion of the faith and credit of the people of the united states, who are supposedly the ultimate source of power in the country, would change knowing we elected to put the finger of a rain dancing buffoon on 50% of the world's deployed nuclear weapon stockpile?
