Liberals Mock Texas Gov. Rick Perry For Urging Texans to Pray to Rain Gods

But seriously, Texas is experiencing some terrible droughts and devastating wildfires--so I can see where the man coming from. Can't you?

Via Think Progress:

Texas is currently experiencing a historic drought, which is fueling devastating wildfires. Today, Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX) came up with an innovative solution — prayer. Perry issued an official proclamation drawing on his constitutional authority designating three days as Days of Prayer for Rain:

And here it is, in the governor's own words:

I, RICK PERRY, Governor of Texas, under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and Statutes of the State of Texas, do hereby proclaim the three-day period from Friday, April 22, 2011, to Sunday, April 24, 2011, as Days of Prayer for Rain in the State of Texas. I urge Texans of all faiths and traditions to offer prayers on that day for the healing of our land, the rebuilding of our communities and the restoration of our normal and robust way of life.

Rain dance, anyone?
