Finally, a reasonable answer to the drought. And don’t worry, it won’t impact watering your lawn OR running your waterfall. It just involves a little prayer.

Somehow, I missed the memo that Sonny Perdue has been pushing for Atlantans to pray for rain for months now. But this morning on the local NPR station, I heard that there will actually be a large and organized prayer led by good old Sonny sometime soon (was it today?) in the hopes that the mass number of guilty Atlantans will be able to move God to make it rain in our parched little corner of the Peach State.

I wonder if my neighbor down the street will be there. He’s got all sorts of Christian Conservative stickers on his Nissan Sedan, which is parked in front of his house where he can always be seen standing outside watering his lawn. He makes this surly face when he does it, scowling beneath his trucker hat (not actually an ironic one, as he is 60 years old and probably worked for the company advertised on the bill) and just daring you to be the brave liberal to try and get him busted.

In any case, I hope it works. I’m tired of my shorter showers.
