Just because prayin’ to Jesus  ain’t enough, people in Aladamnbama ask Jesus to please hate who they hate.

At a regulatory meeting on Alabama power rates, Public Service Commission President Twinkle Andress Cavanaugh (yes, her name is Twinkle and aren’t you jealous) let a minister do the opening prayer because he’s a friend of hers.

It goes downhill like a six legged jackrabbit.

Because Cavanaugh, at a state meeting of a quasi-judicial regulatory body, is handing Prattville Baptist preacher John Jordan a commendation, even though he is on the agenda to speak as an interested party on behalf of the Tea Party. She’s explaining that he gets to give the invocation because he is her friend.

And then Jordan polls the audience on who believes in prayer. At a state regulatory meeting. And then he prays that the world’s gone crazy, that good is bad and bad is good, that “we’ve said it’s Ok to have same-sex marriage. We have sinned.”

Because nothing screws up utility rates like the gays.

Thanks to Deb for the heads up.
