Georgia governor prays for rain.

From the LA Times:

ATLANTA -- Bowing his head outside the Georgia Capitol on Tuesday, Gov. Sonny Perdue cut a newly repentant figure as he publicly prayed for rain to end the region's historic drought.
"Oh father, we acknowledge our wastefulness," Perdue said. "But we're doing better. And I thought it was time to acknowledge that to the creator, the provider of water and land, and to tell him that we will do better."

To think that after smallpox, dwarf wheat, and the space program there are still people who want to appeal to their gods for rain. And on the taxpayers dime. What year is it again?
