Dear Lord... (Part I)

Yesterday, President Bush and some other wise folks advised the people of Florida to start praying that their homes will withstand Hurricane Ivan. Not to get too meta here, but...they're supposed to pray to God to send the hurriance (that he created, we can only assume) to smash somebody else's house, preferably one in Lousiana? I think I get religion now!

Interestingly, this is the same way people prepared for hurricanes 200 years ago. We've come a long way, baby.
