With Texas in the midst of an historic drought and battling thousands of wildfires, Gov. Rick Perry has decided to ask for some divine intervention. The governor issued a proclamation yesterday officially declaring April 22-24 “Days of Prayer for Rain in the State of Texas.” (You can see the proclamation here.) “I urge Texans of all faiths and traditions to offer prayers on that day for the healing of our land,” Perry wrote.Well, it is now August, and loony Parry (I mean Perry, damn that Colbert) has precious little to show for it. It seems it only gets drier and hotter. And this guy thinks that he's somehow a viable candidate for President? Even if we ignore the fact that his beliefs are barely past the stage of Bronze Age myths, how about the state of Texas in things that would indicate how he runs things? Just check out their record on deficits, education, employment (especially under-employment), and the list goes on. This guy is dumb as a box of rocks, and that's probably insulting to rocks.
And worst of all, Parry and his ilk are ignoring their very own teachings. I just wish they would shut up, but then, seeing how loony they are is probably a great weapon against them; if it wasn't for all the other stark raving mad loonies that are here in the US...
