If he had prayed during his last “testing time” he would’ve scored better than a 566 on his verbal SAT’s

President Bush on Thursday urged Americans to pray for God’s guidance as the Columbia tragedy, potential war in Iraq and the constant threat of terrorism pose “a testing time for our country.”

There are many in this country who do pray, and yet, since 2000, we have seen our economy collapse, our civil rights slowly erode, rising unemployment, reports of terrorists ignored because someone needed a month-long vacation in Crawford, a continuing assault on a woman’s right to choose and on the environment, and the rise on an incipient theocracy.

If there is a God, he surely doesn’t like us, otherwise why would he have unleashed upon us a plague of Republicans.
