What's wrong with the religious leaders of this nation? As far as I can tell, no one has gone on the record to say that Hurricane Ike has devastated Texas as a form of punishment or as a sign of God's judgment. Surely any natural disaster is some kind of memo from God, right? I mean, San Francisco never got that earthquake we were promised--was it by Falwell or Robertson? I guess we must have cleaned up our act, a regular Nineveh in sackcloth and ashes.
