Sonny Perdue's prayers for rain have gotten a little out of hand

Dear Gov. Perdue,

During our drought that peaked a couple of years ago — the one that turned Lake Lanier into a mudhole and led to outdoor watering restrictions for communities like Columbus because Atlanta can’t manage its growth responsibly — you did what any governor with a firm grasp of drought politics would do.

You prayed.

Click here for Chris Johnson's Facebook page and become a fan Right there at the Capitol steps, you beseeched God himself to discontinue His chosen weather pattern and listen instead to you. It worked.

Boy, did it work! Georgia hasn’t seen rain like this since the days of Noah. In fact, I’ve started building an ark and filling it with two of everything: two big-screen TVs, two kegs of beer, two recliners …(snip)


I don’t know if you’ve noticed, Sonny, but we’ve had enough rain. More importantly I’VE had enough rain. Not only is it flooding homes and streets and causing property damage, but it’s also giving me big hair — and I don’t even have that much hair left. It might even be giving YOU big hair.

1. We sure have had more than our share of rain! I have a
slightly low spot in the back yard, and it's been lilke a small weimming pool since before Christmas! My husband wants to put in a drain, but he's not about to do it until (if ever) things dry out at lease a little! What's worse is we have 2 little fluffy WHITE Bichon dogs! Mud caked white (poodle like) fur is really not pretty!
