Hey, Governor- good timing!

Clever, clever! Gov. Riley of Alabama has issued a state request for prayers for rain- right before it is supposed to rain! Good move there, buddy.

"The governor issued a proclamation calling for a week of prayer for rain, beginning Saturday.
Riley encouraged Alabamians to pray "individually and in their houses of worship."

"Throughout our history, Alabamians have turned in prayer to God to humbly ask for his blessings and to hold us steady during times of difficulty," Riley said. "This drought is without question a time of great difficulty."

"Roger McNeil, a hydrologist with the National Weather Service in Birmingham, said a weak summer front will push its way into Alabama from the northwest, triggering scattered showers Saturday and Sunday. But the showers won't be enough to put a dent in the drought, he said."


Praying for rain does not work, however, when has that ever stopped a Republican? And it's definitely a good start to start your praying for rain right when it's well, forecast to rain.
