Beating Tomtoms Around Bonfires

Thanks to governor Sonny Perdue for providing me the following (long-awaited) opportunity:
In a brazen act of antidisestablishmentarianism, the governor of Georgia convened a public prayer meeting to combat the draught.

Confronting the catastrophic "act of god," the Georgia governor decided it was time to give prayer a try. Did he really think that until then no one had been praying for rain?

They needed at least 16" of rain; but despite (or because of) their prayers, they received only 0.13"---a miserly tease from a penurious god.
