Two massive storms in one month? An escalating cultural war between the left and the right over the role of religion in public life? A political war between America and Iraq (and the Taliban, too, I suppose) that’s spiralled into a religious war between Jesus and Allah? Even as I write this, thousands of ecstatic evangelicals are probably flipping through the Book of Revelations quicker than your average pornhound fast-forwards through dialogue. Armageddon would seem to be at hand, indeed.
Well, except for the part about Rita hitting Texas. I have a suspicion that Pat Robertson et al think of Texas as the Western Hemisphere’s answer to the Holy Land. If Yahweh were to damage it with one of them there hurricanes, well, that might put the whole prophecy thing in jeopardy…
