Priya Lynn,

Yes. Exactly.

It’s a jest that holds out possibility of belief. She doesn’t exactly believe that this IS a sign from God… but ya never know, it COULD be.

Seems every time these people make some gaffe, they come up with some inane excuse. I guess Bachmann’s staff gets paid to cover for her.

She’s furiously backpedaling on that remark, calling it a joke.

Yeah right. Was she joking about her definition of gay people and what she and her husband to do gay people in their tax funded clinics?

And what’s so funny about this storm and the loss of life that occurred?

She wasn’t joking, but she’s displaying the typical cowardice and denial we know all too well.

I thought they held the actual prayer services at the Cathedral. My deepest apologies to the Cathedral :)

One note about the National Cathedral–it’s the site of the odious National Prayer Breakfast.

Actually, the Prayer Breakfast takes place at the Washington Hilton (which is also where Reagan was shot). But to add insult to injury, the Hilton is just north of DuPont Circle, the heart of D.C.’s gayborhood.

I thought at one time that Bachmann was the savvy version on Palin but could it be they were separated at birth?

Here’s a thought: MAYBE the sign from God is that we should be more caring and ready to help one another, regardless of familiarity level.

Now go buy US healthcare.

Interesting that the people who do not understand the mechanics of RAIN resort to attributing a disaster to a god.

Case in point: Sodom and Gomorrah. Google “Sodom Gomorrah Asteroid researchers” and you’ll see scientific proof that an asteroid impact similar to what happened last century over Siberia was at fault.

Saying that a natural phenonenon is a tool of the Almighty is akin to saying: God, seeing that the line of kindergarten children on the sidewalk was EVIL, sent a drunk driver to smite them.
