Sonny's Rain Dance

November 7, 2007 | 3:54 pm

From the AJC…Governor seeks divine intervention to get some rain

Apparently, when La Nina weather patterns don’t favor the Georgia Piedmont, our state government resorts to doing a 21st century rain dance. The Georgia gov will host a prayer service at the Capitol next week to pray for rain.

But don’t just show up on the Capitol lawn next Tuesday at 11:45a! Like any good photo op, this event is invitation only.

I just hope this counts as part of Sonny’s lunch hour and doesn’t take him away from finding real solutions to our water problems.

Update: The AP has picked up this story too. [hattip:Hit & Run - who's post title is "Where Church vs. State Goes to Die"]
