Aha! So it really wasn't global warming, 30-year weather cycles, and the like. The reason hurricanes hit where they did is because of "gambling, sin and wickedness." Of course, everyone knows that Lake Charles, LA and Galveston, TX are the national homes of wickedness and gambling, respectively.

Erwin said the catastrophic storms are part of a pattern evident in the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, claiming God has removed an umbrella of protection from America due to an increase in abortion, pornography and prostitution.

I wonder if the guy in the grocery cart stole the umbrella of protection.

If God wanted to punish gambling, sin, and wickedness, don't you think he would go after much easier targets? I'm sure you'd find more such behavior per square foot in the state capitals and Congress than in New Orleans or Vegas.

Hat tip to Boortz again. Oh, and BTW, I'm Catholic so don't worry about the destination of my soul, dear readers. I really don't see how statements like the good Senator's are effective in bringing people to Christ. They do seem pretty successful at making us Christians look like boobs.

P.S. Rumor has it that the AWOL New Orleans cops never existed except on the forms directing federal law enforcement money to the city. So who was cashing their paychecks?...
