But, it turns out, he is impotent. Oh well.
News Story A:
ATLANTA - What to do when the rain won't come? If you're Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue, you pray. ADVERTISEMENTThe governor will host a prayer service next week to ask for relief from the drought gripping the Southeast.
"The only solution is rain, and the only place we get that is from a higher power," Perdue spokesman Bert Brantley said on Wednesday.*
Alrighty-then, let's see how that goes. News Story B:
ATLANTA - A storm system crashed through the Southeast and brought up to an inch of rain in parts of drought-stricken Georgia, but forecasters said the storm likely did little to ease the state's historic drought.The rain late Wednesday and early Thursday brought some precipitation to the parched hills of northern Georgia. The showers began a day after Gov. Sonny Perdue led a prayer service on the steps of the state Capitol to beg the heavens to end the drought.
"Certainly, we're not gloating about it," Perdue said from a trade mission in Canada. "We're thankful for the rain and hopefully it's the beginning of more. ... Frankly, it's great affirmation of what we asked for."*
The same storm system did a lot of damage, let down some tornadoes, and injured several people in Tennesee.
No one died because, well, the science of meteorology, radar technology, and the engineering sciences saved their asses.
OK, I should say that it is possible that god is not impotent. Maybe he is just pissed at being prayed at by self-righteous bible thumping chicken farmers. Or governors. Or whatever.

A young couple, friends of mine, bought an antique wardrobe, and found a message hidden behind the mirror, advising them that, if they prayed in rhyme, their prayers would be answered.
SHE said: "Mirror, mirror, on the door, make my tits size forty-four"
- and Wham! She got 'em.
HE said: "Mirror, mirror, on the door, make my prick stretch to the floor"
- and Wham! His legs fell off.
