And no, it’s not about abortion and gays. It’s about genocide, war, greed, idolatry, infidelity and covetousness. It’s about failing the poor and homeless.

You know, all that Sermon on the Mount stuff that conservatives and liberals skip past because Revelations has better special effects.

Okay, so rather than address the disastrous lack of planning in our state’s sprawl-ification, on Tuesday, Governor Sonny Perdue held a prayer rally at the state capitol in an effort to coax rain from the sky and end Georgia’s catastrophic drought. And what do you know, God came through.

What no separation of state in Georgia? That is seriously catastrophic.
I love that Tori video. Only someone with preacher’s daughter syndrome could make a risque statement like that so poignantly.

i did not know you were a moderator CT

Ah, ya missed the context, Bob was remarking about the cake, then, ya said you were on it… *g*

Yes, I did comment on the cake, since it was held up as a depiction of the Lake. I was wondering who that was who was snoozing in the middle.

Inquiring minds want to know. (G)

“Georgia Governor Perdue and the Top 10 Republican Prayers.”

I was very,very sorry to hear about your cat, William. Hope your back is better.

Isn’t this the same governor who

a) Has done nothing about massive traffic chaos in Atlanta, seems comatose and major legislative initative was a “Go Fish” slogan?

b) Is a licensed vet and has ridiculously sought to protect you from Avian Flu in Georgia by spending millions buying Tamiflu which has no clinical efficacy against any H5N1 variant whatsoever, and in fact is replete in the medical literature for causing resistance strains?

I think you’re getting the idea that if Sonny Perdue prayed for rain he’s getting the answer to the prayers of greedy politicians who had years to plan and build infrastructure and sewer fittings for their soaring population and did absolutely nothing.

His pomp and circumstance meeting with the governors of Florida and Alabama was as productive as his rain prayer session will be.

Ya gotta love that Chris Carlos though who made the NY Times today:

Amid Drought, a Georgian Consumes a Niagara

A homeowner in Marietta, Ga., used 440,000 gallons in September, or about 14,700 gallons a day. By comparison, the average consumption in the United States is about 150 gallons a day per person, and in the Atlanta metropolitan area about 183 gallons.

Month after month during a record-setting drought, the two-story, five-bedroom home owned by that consumer, Chris G. Carlos, a wealthy investor who is a member of one of Atlanta’s most well known and philanthropic families, has topped Cobb County’s list of residential users.

I mean–that is a whole helluva lot of rompin’ in a hot tub amdist the Georgia clay isn’t it?

Robert Quigley, a spokesman for the Cobb County Water System, said Mr. Carlos had used an average of 260,000 gallons of water a month for the last year, about twice as much as the consumer next-highest on the county’s list. Mr. Carlos has apparently been using the water not only to flush nine toilets and maintain a swimming pool but also to refresh nearly four acres of lush landscaping around his white-columned, red brick home.

It really takes a whole lotta forehead slappin’ to figure out why Sonny Perdue and Georgia have run out of water given their bent to conserve and plan–like Mr. Carlos.

Do you suppose that would drive more people into teaching, if we made them tax-exempt?

Has anyone done a regional survey of public school versus private school teachers pay?

Private school teachers make less in this town. Now La Jolla Country Day School and Bishops, can’t tell you. It’s not public info.
