Great Quote

Sorry I've been out of pocket, but I just got back from my sister's wedding (write up to follow) and I'm buried at work. But I couldn't resist the urge to post this fantastic quote that delivered by the Rev. Brent Randall Regnart, who offered the invocation at the start of the a Republican fundraiser event which was headlined by Vice President Dick Cheney.

"Lord, tonight is all about raising money."

Well put, Reverend. I really wish I had the full text of the prayer, which I'm surprised did not begin with "The Lord is our ATM, we shall not want ..."

What I am surprised is that anyone actually thinks that praying to God for money (or praying for sports acumen or thanking god for winning your Grammy) actually gets you anything. I mean, seriously, is God going to answer the prayer by forcing otherwise free-willed individuals to donate more money than they otherwise would so some Republican fuckwit can potentially get elected to the House of Representatives? I didn't realize that God leaned to the right politically, but Dennis Miller surprised me, too.

"Lord, today is all about my company's stock price."
