Perry giving athiests a reason to pray

Perry demonstrates confidence by ordering new pews and hymnals for Capitol Building

Austin, TX: (Bob’s Blog) Texas Gov. Rick Perry is apparently confident enough in his chances to win his party’s nomination and the general election that he has placed an order for new pews and hymnals for the Capitol Building.

“I know what Americans need,” said Perry. “And my first act as President will be to conduct Congressional choir tryouts. Then we’re going to balance the budget by having a national bake sale.” Perry says his wife Anita will contribute to the bake sale by making her famous sage brush salad and filet of armadillo served on a bed of cactus thorns.

When one reporter suggested that turning the Capitol Building into a cathedral might violate the separation of church and state, Perry was indignant. “When ya’ll come down to Texas and see how hot it is, ya’ll will be praying for rain just like me. Did ya’ll notice that my prayers convinced God to send Irene to leave us tons of rain. I just wasn't specific enough about where He should put it.”

Perry added that when he’s able to implement his agenda as President, more people than ever will agree that the federal government is worthless. "I believe that government is terrible; and when I'm elected, I'll prove it," Perry said.

Republican Presidential candidate Rep. Michele Bachmann argues that she is just as committed to bringing God back to our federal government as Gov. Perry. “Remember, I was the one who prayed for tropical storm Lee this week; and Lee dumped loads of rain in the heart of Texas there in New Orleans.”
