Governor Prays For Rain - Lefties Want Formal Response

The Governor of the state of Georgia, which is mired in a terrible drought, thought to raise up a prayer to God for rain:

ATLANTA -- Bowing his head outside the Georgia Capitol on Tuesday, Gov.
Sonny Perdue cut a newly repentant figure as he publicly prayed for rain to end
the region's historic drought.

"Oh father, we acknowledge our wastefulness," Perdue said. "But we're doing
better. And I thought it was time to acknowledge that to the creator, the
provider of water and land, and to tell him that we will do better."

Hundreds of Georgians -- ministers and lawmakers, landscapers and office
workers -- gathered in downtown Atlanta for the prayer vigil. Some held bibles
and crucifixes. Many swayed and linked arms as a choir sang "What a Mighty God
We Serve" and "Amazing Grace."

As Perdue described it, "We have come together, very simply, for one reason
and one reason only: To very reverently and respectfully pray up a storm."

"It's got to be worth a shot," said David Mais, 34, an Atlanta resident who
is worried his carpet cleaning business could suffer from the drought. "I do
think we need to do a lot more, but hopefully prayer will unite us."

As metropolitan Atlanta's water supplies drain to record lows, many across
the Southeast have criticized Perdue and other Georgia officials for failing to
introduce more stringent conservation measures.

Perdue, who wore a green suit and brown cowboy boots, seemed to acknowledge
that the drought afflicting Georgia was a man-made, as well as natural, problem.
Georgians, he said, had not done "all we could do in conservation."

Meanwhile, the lefties are pissed and they seem to be demanding a formal response of some kind (although they are being vague about what such a response would look like):

About a block way, more than 20 protesters -- some carrying placards saying
"All hail Sonny Perdue" and "Is it raining yet?" -- joined a rally organized by
the Atlanta Freethought Society. The vigil, they said, violated the principle of
separation of church and state.

"The governor is exceeding his constitutional authority," said Ed Buckner,
an atheist and treasurer of the group. "He has no right to set up prayer
services on behalf of the people of Georgia, particularly not on the grounds of
the state Capitol."

Exceeding his Constitutional Authority?!?

What do they want, then? Should we call the Feds in? Do we formal response from one of the three branches of our government?

Oh no, he prayed. The Governor prayed. Call someone about a class-action lawsuit. What, you say that won't work? Then, call the ACLU. Get the Supreme Court on the phone.

Wait, what do you mean no one is taking this that seriously?

I have an idea. Maybe the lefties could raise taxes on the sun in order to change the weather patterns. I don't know.

This is going to require some new thinking. Perhaps, we need a third way. Or, whatever.
