Large serving of irony, anyone?

[mijan]

A couple of weeks ago, the fundamentalist Christian group, "Focus on the Family", prayed and demanded that God send "abundant, torrential" downpours to flood the city of Denver and stop Obama from accepting the nomination.

Well, there was indeed a flood at the Democrat National Convention.  In the Pepsi Center where they're holding the convention, in ONE specific sky box, there was a sprinkler malfunction... and the Fox News sky box was flooded.

The irony... let me show you it.

Gotta love karma! :))

Ohhh, and PS. About the meet-up? I'm probably best for the weekend after Halloween instead of before it-- my gf's scheduled to visit the weekend before and we've made plans to see the only Saturday game between the Blackhawks and the Red Wings for it. Iiiiiiif everyone's agreed to do the weekend before Halloween though, I will have to send my love some other way. :)

Clearly god is on our side - and she has a sense of humour.

OF COURSE no god would want to flood Obama. He's "bright and articulate and clean," remember? EVERYTHING FOX NEWS IS NOT.

*snicker*

... okay, so apparently I'm not as up on American politics as I thought.... Why does Focus on the Family dislike Obama?... (Granted, I'm quite accustomed to FotF being militantly against anything I agree with, but there's got to be more to it than that!)

Now I wonder how they intended to make sure the heavenly rain was not going to hurt a pregnant woman and her baby there? I mean, are they also pro-life if the baby might grow up to vote Democratic?

This probably shouldn't make me as happy as it does.

No, Focus on the Family is a plain-vanilla rightwing Christian group, not an "extremist" rightwing group. They're only "extreme" if anyone further left or right than the centerpoint of their party is "extreme"--i.e., if every plain-vanilla progressive is "extreme." And that Times article's description of Focus as a "fundamentalist" group is bullshit.

*cue evil cackling* that indeed is classic, and so very deserved!

TAKE THAT!

"FUCK!" they growl at the sky. "Doesn't God know we hate irony???"

Really I just wanted an excuse to use this icon. ^-^
