I can’t but read this in the voice of the guy who plays Jeff on Coupling.
When you believe in the power of prayer, isn’t joking about praying for flooding rain a little bit like joking about a bomb at the airport?
I mean, I think that their little joke is funny because I believe that there is no such thing as effective prayer. And it’s also just funny for being pathetic. But if I truly believed in the chance that such a prayer would be answered, doesn’t it make it a bit gauche to pray as a joke?
Just to be sure, I will be praying that John McCain enters the Republican convention floor by peeling his way out of a giant banana.
Most of that site is very but this one is pretty good. Well, it would be if it were shorter; it labors the idea rather unnecessarily. But I did chuckle a bit, at least.
It’s like rain on your nomination day,
More funds to raise when you’ve already paid,
It’s the talking point that just didn’t take –
Who would have thought? It figures.
The presidency has a funny way of sneaking up on you…
The problem is, is that a joke or not? I have no idea! It’s like the Onion. Often the only way I know they’re kidding is the fact that it’s in The Onion. (Obviously, children conjuring up three-headed dogs on the spot is a bit of a clue, but most of the stories aren’t quite that clear-cut.) Is that true for The Holy Observer?
Actually, I’m praying he and Cindy will make an entrance by popping out of a giant red, white & blue cake, he in a sequinned gold tie, tails and tophat, she in the kind of Vegas showgirl outfit that magician’s assistants wear.
Yeah, I’m kind of picturing the “One” number from A Chorus Line, with Republican Congresspersons and Senators, and John McCain. They all climb out of the cake and do a high-kick line down the stage to the podium, where McCain gives his acceptance speech.
The “pray for rain” thing or our Chorus Line sidetrack?
Because, at base, I think both of them are hilarious. The prayers for rain, even if they were meant in earnest, have about as much chance of actually making anything happen as I would if I stood out in a field and beat a drum to sour someone’s milk down the road. And the Republican Chorus Line? Hell, that’s comedy GOLD!
Roundabouts where I grew up, Rush Limbaugh was a Poe’s Law case. I remember hearing people relay rumors that he was seen at or near gay nightclubs, and was actually a closeted gay man.
I don’t think we’re in zombie territory yet, sooo . . .
God didn’t get the timing right, His aim was a little off, and the plague wasn’t what was ordered — still, tornados touched down south and east of Denver Sunday afternoon — probably just about the time the delegates were getting down to the serious business of scoping out the hospitality suites.
From FotF’s POV, probably the only thing that would have been better would be to have a mysterious hand appear in midair and spell outS . . . U . . . R . . . R . . . E . . . N . . . D . . . E . . . R
