JUNEAU -- Alaska's governor has proclaimed Saturday a day of prayer for the nation, heeding a call from Texas Gov. Rick Perry.

Gov. Sean Parnell cites Perry in the proclamation. Perry, who's considering seeking the Republican nomination for president, invited fellow governors to join him at a prayer event in Houston, Texas, Saturday. He also urged them to proclaim Aug. 6 a time to pray for "unity and righteousness." Parnell's spokeswoman said Parnell won't attend but issued a proclamation recognizing "we are a nation under trial of war, impacts of natural disaster, threat of more severe economic hardships, and that our families are under attack on many fronts."

The proclamation urges Alaskans to seek "God's face" and pray for the people of this nation and for the strength and wisdom of leaders.

1. How about Jesus in a grilled cheese sandwich? Is that close enough?

I mean, does that count?

3. I was wondering myself

if we would know "God's face" if we saw it. Didn't Jesus say something about "the least of these"? I would say God's face probably looks something like a homeless person...that is, if "he" even has a face at all.

2. They're all praying that you forget that Perry

is Dumbya version two

5. Will Perry be natural born

Since Perry wants to succeed from the Union this will leave him out of being President of US because be will not be a natural born citizen. He follows along with tea baggers, don't know much about history.

6. Haven't you noticed all that praying for rain in Texas working? i haven't.

Still hotter than hell, lows of 92 at night, highs around 104-107, heat index at 118 or so.

7. Gee. Didn't there used to be a law against these things?

I mean, this isn't Goodhair putting up Santa at the mansion during the holiday season.

8. every day is a day for prayer. leave it to those charlatans to make some organized event to

proclaim, like they're some wonderful spiritual leader, a specific day of prayer.

These folks don't even follow the "least of these" principle when thinking of policy, so they are to be scoffed at as selfish rich folks trying to appear righteous.
