It’s a real pity what happened to New Orleans – the town rivals even Vegas as a top-notch Den of Iniquity — great food, great culture, and just a damn good time. New Orleans is easily one of my favorite places on this Earth — it will always have a special place in my heart and rotting liver. It is my fondest hope that The Big Easy can return to its former glory soon, so I may bask in its decadence once again.

Ridiculously enough — Louisiana Governor, Kathleen Blanco, thinks we should have a day of Prayer to save her storm ravaged state. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense…definitely a lot more sense that helping the Army Corp of Engineers patching the two football-sized holes in the levees that are the cities only line of defense against 30 feet of watery death. It sure would help a lot more evacuating the 30,000 people still trapped with no toilets or electricity in the Superdome. Phew! Maybe you can just have Moses grab everyone on the Ark?

I implore anyone who would stop for even one second, never mind a full day, to pray – please think again!

Isn’t this the same God who flooded the Earth as punishment for the sins of humanity is Thou most Holy of Scriptures? There’s been a lot of sinnin’ going in ‘Newlins! Sounds like someone is robbing Peter to pay Paul to me!

Any reasonable person would not squander time with prayer — it’s an empty gesture. Instead of wasting a day calling the invisible man in a box for help, put your efforts where you can actually see some results:

I will do my part.

Let’s stop this religious insanity.
