When Barack Obama announced that he was accepting the nomination in front of 80,000 of his closest supporters in an outdoor stadium, prominent members of the right issued public prayers for rain to ruin the moment. As I recall, perhaps inaccurately, a few hoped for something stronger than rain -- a huge storm or something that would actually endanger tens of thousands of Democrats.
And now, on the eve of the Republican convention, we're hearing dire predictions about Hurricane Gustav. From the bits I've read, W is likely to stay home so as not to look like he's fiddling while New Orleans sinks (again). Delegates may have trouble getting to the convention. There's even some early talk about interrupting or deferring the convention because of the storm.
Be careful of what you wish for, Republicans. Your God seems to have a wicked sense of humor.
