Let us pray that the misguided liberals in government never again force the honest charlatans of Wall Street to make wheelbarrows full of money making liar loans to anyone with a pulse

Let us pray that if taxes are cut on the rich just one more time it will balance the budget and create good middle class jobs

Let us pray that Wall Street deregulation and hedge fund tax breaks that allow purchasing legacy drugs and raising prices for life saving pills from $0.66 cents to $750 apiece are shown to be marketplace magic and not a superfluity of callous greed

Let us pray that the hallowed tradition of gaming the markets and system remain a freedom for our worthy rich, forever protected by do nothing ranting government is the problem Republicans

Let us pray that the 2nd Amendment written by Jesus giving the right to own your own closet full of AR-15's never be usurped by a Democrat or their ally Satan

Let us pray that no matter how many Americans he pre-emptively sent to their deaths in Iraq, that George W. Bush always be misremembered for keeping us safe

Let us pray ... that the free market will forever be free to screw us all to a fare-thee-well.

Let us pray ... that Big Banks will forever remain too Big to Fail, because Failure is not an option because nothing succeeds like success and nothing fails like failure, so if you want to succeed, you can't fail.

Let us pray ... that our Politicians will forever embrace the richest and most powerful amongst us, because they are the people that really matter and deserve the most help, as opposed to the laziest and poorest amongst us, who just aren't really trying.

Let us pray ... That Republicans will continue to dismantle our Government and, by de-funding the parts of the government that work, will cripple those parts so badly we will become convinced that we were wrong and they never really worked in the first place and that they should be eliminated completely so that more of the Federal budget can go to the military-industrial complex to spend on defending us against all the people in the world that our policies have 'helped' over the years.

So prayeth the GOP.

However, Let us Progressives pray that all those that pray those words will pray instead of actually voting, and by the Grace of God may they be sent to cloistered monasteries where they can live a life of devotion and humble reflection and leave the actual governing of our country to people who understand and are willing to do the work involved in creating a more perfect union.

Amen

What's up, Dick? ever since you got your new computer parts, you keep turning out these master/mashter/monster pieces. Are you gunning for the Masthead?  DagBlog => Dick's Place?

There's a fire inside, burning. Keep it up, give 'em hell.

Concisely done as always, Dick! You have a way of humorously getting to the point without bogging us down with a bunch of needless wordiness (a talent I've obviously yet to achieve).

In all seriousness, you slay me!

Sorry I am too pooped to pray.  I thought I would check in before I lay down.  A laundry all nighter. 

Great Rant. 

Great one, Mr. Day. It's incomprehensible that christian churches are into guns, but there is one nearby---you have to drive a pickup and wear a cowboy hat to go there---which is sponsoring classes on how to get an open carry permit---come worship, bring your guns and kids. ​

Also, ads in the local newspaper quoting the bible---Leviticus, as I recall---that a man who lieth with his own kind should be---well, essentially, put to death.

Christ equals White equals Threatened by social change equals we will Defend our Religion and our way of life with Guns.

Another fine one, Dick.  If I were the praying kind I might say, "I pray you keep this good stuff up."
