Our Father, who art at the pump...

So a bunch of nutcases are praying for lower gas prices...see here.

If they would turn their energies toward praying for sensible energy policies, I would not call them nutcases, but alas, nutcases they remain:
"Oh dear sweet Baby Jesus, since I need to drive my SUV to take Eldon, Bodeen, Jezmarie and Typhanny to PhatCamp(tm) back and forth every day this summer as well as make sure Naydeen gets to her shifts at the titty bar on time, can you please, pul-LEEZE, make prices lower at the pump??? Oh and make my goiter shrink when ya get a chance. Thanks Lord, peace out."
Magical thinking at its most idiotic.

It's been my experience that people who pray for stupid shit like this are just all too willing to turn over responsibility for their crappy lives to a higher being.

That way, the fact that they live in a rusty trailer with their cousin and the eight kids they had together and don't have enough to feed everyone - can be "God's will" instead of the result of bad choices they made AND it absolves them of any responsibility for fixing the situation!

Why fix it when it's so much easier to just complain to God about it?

I heard some guy on the radio complaining that, apparently some pumps are cutting people off at the $75 point. Which, is weird, but he was saying that's not enought to fill his tank. I don't know what the hell this guy is driving, but with prices at the highest point here I think the most it took to fill the tank in my car was about $42!


Hope to see you soon!
