Ga. governor prays for rain amid drought

ATLANTA - As Georgia descends deeper into drought, Gov. Sonny Perdue has ordered water restrictions, launched a legal battle and asked President Bush for help. On Tuesday, the governor will call on a higher power.

He will join lawmakers and ministers on the steps of the state Capitol to pray for rain.

While public prayer vigils might raise eyebrows in other parts of the nation, they are mostly shrugged off in the Bible Belt, where turning to the heavens for help is common and sometimes even politically expedient.

Are they going to do a rain dance afterwards?
No wonder people the world over still think the American south is hicks-ville!

And, of course, eventually it will rain again, which they will believe proves that gawd was listening - no matter how long it takes!
