Er, dood, I was joking.
It doesn't work...

John Abraham is a friend of mine who works in climate science. Pretty soon you'll get to hear him and some other doods talking about climate change, in a special edition of Skeptically Speaking.
Raja has discovered so many stars in Andromeda's halo, extending so far (half million light years, dood) that they had to give him an entire session.

Wonder if the dood ever heard of slashdotting
Ugh.
Outfit is wrong.
Flag colour is wrong (shade of blue, dood)
And no no no hockey sticks! You think we're Finns or something?
Funny though
Besides, Warren Spahn and Johnny Sain have both passed away...
When Sonny Perdue was running for governor, he had a series of truly nauseating ads on TV where he and his wife talked about their "Sonny do-list". The message was that you can just tell ol' Sonny what you want done, and he'll by-gosh get it done. And now here he is passing the buck to god. Goodness. One wonders if one can believe any political ad these days.
And when it finally does rain, a couple months from now, they'll claim their prayers were answered.
When it finally does rain, and I think it will rain before a couple of months pass, they will, indeed, credit their prayers for ending the drought. Unfortunately, it won't have ended the drought. The Southeast has an ongoing drought, and has had for a lot longer than it has shown up in the news media. The drought is likely to continue for months to come and we won't catch up to "normal" for a long, long time. So long, in fact, that I think we may end up with a new normal.
And by the way, if anyone is interested in a look at local conditions in one part of the Southeast, this blog has a monthly summary of conditions and fairly frequent posts about the issue, as well as other interesting subjects:

It's my understanding that the La Niña is persisting, and that such conditions generally predict warm and dry in the Southeast.
So, if it doesn't rain enough to ease the drought, does anybody think ol' Sonny will admit prayer doesn't work?
I don't think so either.
