Predictions are that Hurricane Katrina will run out of most of the wind before she mows over me later in the week. With luck, the hurricane gets The Weather Channel and knows that she's only supposed to drench Ohio and not blow anything over or off. I'm keeping half an eye on the forecasts anyway.
That half an eye caught President Bush admonishing us to pray for the people being affected by the hurricane. With respect to the president and organized religion in general, that presents something of a conflict of interest. Hurricanes, after all, are one of those things that fall somewhere between Act of God and Wrath of God.
In other religious/hurricane related humor, CNN Headline News just followed up a story about Katrina's attendant flooding with announcer Chuck Roberts saying what sounded like "And a late update from Noah..." Actually, it was "And a late update from NOAA," NOAA being the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Association.
