I Just Don’t Know What to Say

I haven’t been speechless very often in my life, but the past several weeks have left me at a loss for words.  The Treasury Secretary suggesting socialist reforms, the President going along, conservative think tanks supporting the legislation, and the acceptance of the republican party of a piece of legislation that includes a blank check to buy stock in a private company, but more on that later.

For now, another type of economics has sprouted up, and while it will be more fruitful than Obamanomics, I think the followers of religo-nomics might need to rethink their plan.

ST. LOUIS (AP) - Two prayer services will be held at St. Louis gas stations to thank God for lower fuel prices and to ask that they continue to drop. Darrell Alexander, Midwest co-chair of the Pray at the Pump movement, says prayer gatherings will be held Monday afternoon and evening at a Mobil station west of downtown St. Louis. Participants say they plan to buy gas, pray and then sing “We Shall Overcome” with a new verse, “We’ll have lower gas prices.”

An activist from the Washington D.C. area, Rocky Twyman, started the effort, saying if politicians couldn’t lower gas prices, it was time to ask God to intervene.

The group thinks the prayer is helping, saying prices are starting to fall below $4 a gallon.
