Sarah Palin didn't learn prayer doesn't work
Or maybe she just didn't have enough McCainites praying with her. Whatever, she and ol' John were discarded by the American people, thank God!
Which actually may disprove my theory that prayer doesn't work. Maybe God did hear Sarah's prayers, decided she was a moron and ensured that his favorite son, Barack Obama, made it to the White House. One never knows about these things. It's a matter of faith.
In case you missed the brouhaha, Ms Palin, prevaricating governor of Alaska, is currently embroiled in a battle with Alaska's legislators because she doesn't want to take the offer of government money in the stimulus package for needy Alaskans. It's the principal of the thing, you know. That's the way Repugnicans talk, although most of them don't know the difference between a principle and a principal.
Sorry, I got off topic a bit there. What I intended to say is Ms. Palin found a paucity of prayer partners amongst the McCain campaigners. Prior to her debate with Joe Biden, she felt the urge to talk to her god up there in heaven - in the clouds, I think. She was worried that God might give Biden a boost, or something, 'cause well, you know, Joe's a "good" Catholic.
"So, I'm looking around for somebody to pray with, I just need maybe a little help, maybe a little extra. And the McCain campaign, love 'em, you know, they're a lot of people around me, but nobody I could find that I wanted to hold hands with and pray."
She finally grabbed her daughter Piper and held her hand and prayed.
I think God went on vacation that day. Her prayer(s) obviously went unanswered, and everybody knew she was a winking fool.
But she's still praying. Mostly she was praying for her hubby to win Iditarod. That prayer didn't work, either. She never learns a thing!
And, would you believe, some of the McCainites are not happy about Palin's verbal punches?
But the saddest thing is that the Moose, pictured above in all it's bloody glory, was praying Palin's bullet would miss. Didn't work. And the moral of that story is, that if Palin's got you her sights, forget praying, shoot back!

Another of the American Taliban.
Just so ya know... Todd races in the Iron Dog (not the Iditarod) and that's a caribou, not a moose.
Other than that, you're spot on! Keep up the good work.
@ Anon - thanks for the info. While I may feel a little stupid, it's always to know than not know!
I wonder how many mooses Jesus would kill?
Or would he "hunt" wolves using a helicopter?
@ Anon - I'm always amazed at how fundies ("evangelicals") can find "Jesus Justification" for just about anything they want to do or believe.
It is very possible that God does not like her enough to give her better answers to questions.
