Did I say that? I did not.

It is, to be sure, droll to think of Our Leaders praying (to Jesus' Pop) for the triumph of the Merkin Way of Life in the coming conflict just as zillions of Muslims pray, probably five times oftener, to (golly!) a radically different notion of the Big Guy (JC being, at most, a senior VP rather than favored son), for the destruction of our troops and our civic landmarks. Unless these things are decided by popular vote (uh-oh), somebody's wasting their time, dontcha think?

I particularly like, down in tornado country, the inevitable interview each year with the plump white woman whose trailer was spared because she prayed to Jee-sus, and whose now-dead neighbors, we are left to conclude, just weren't praying hard enough.

I think prayer's a hoot.

devoutly,

You're of course aware that there's a significant possibility that her particular type of faith holds that the Pope is an abomination in the Almighty's sight? Uh-oh again.

cordially,
