ATLANTA — What to do when the rain won’t come? If you’re Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue, you pray.
The governor will host a prayer service next week to ask for relief from the drought gripping the Southeast.
“The only solution is rain, and the only place we get that is from a higher power,” Perdue spokesman Bert Brantley said on Wednesday.
A prayer service? Way to show Georgia and the rest of the country you mean business, Gov. Perdue.
Jesus.

True story, only in Bbib County.
The morning after his 96% landslide victory, our new Mayor Elect Robert Reichert (pronounced RickHurt) and Cousin Sonny were lapping up the Sake for brunch, in an effort to do their post prayer part for YOUR ATL drought.

rosebud – prayer, a.m. sake & impact fees.
And Travis Fain & Matt Barnwell of the “used to be Macon” Telegraph interviewed James Carville & Mary Matalin at Mercer Law School. It’s somewhat hilarious. In answer to Travis’ trick question of “have you ever heard of a 96% landslide election?” Carville replied, only in the Soviet Union.” James was also quoted as saying, “Mary wants to move to Macon.”

I don’t have the imagination to make this stuff up, you will have to move to Macon to have this much fun.
Pop Quiz questions:
1) Which Georgia City was Carville born in?
2)Which central Georgia City does Matalin want to move to?
3) Who wins the hair pullin out contests in their family?
4) In what Central Georgia City is Sake referred to as the “Brunch of Champions?”

Perdue’s a piker compared to Joe Bob Frank Harris! Getting all prayerful over the drought? What’s he wanna go and act like a Democrat for anyway?

Joe Frank Harris was a Democrat & the gov of Ga in 1987: “In fact, I had issued a proclamation requesting all congregations in our state to hold a special day of prayer on this Sunday because of the statewide drought.”

Please Malcontent, Don’t Hurt Em!
Hey, I’m a Christrian and I believe very much in the power of prayer. But this looks really kooky. I have no problem with Gov. Perdue assembling some folks to pray for rain. But to announce it, release it and do it publicly. A little weird….
Sellout

Prayer? Honestly?
Maybe if Perdue gave two shits about this state he’d take a break from filling his wallet and stop approving housing development. Hello? We have two fake lakes…we cant support more people whether it rains or not. Besides, shouldnt we have moved past the whole raindance/vodoo/pray thing?
