I mentioned this guy a few days back when he was praying at the pump in San Francisco. Here he is now in Washington, DC, having burned a lot of fuel to get there no doubt. Perhaps it would just be cheaper to pray in his closet at home.
Yahoo News....
Americans have turned to prayer because the earthly powers-that-be don't seem to give a hoot, said Judy Dugan, a research director at Consumer Watchdog, a non-profit group based in California. She described Prayer at the Pump as "the ultimate Hail Mary."
At the Shell station, Twyman had dire words of warning for those who are raking in profits from high gas prices.
"Woe be unto those people that are really greedy and taking advantage of American families," he proclaimed from his pump pulpit.
"These prices will come down, just like the walls of Jericho came down in the Bible," he said, as another chorus of amens punctuated the sound of cash flowing out of the gas pumps.
*Yes, I am fully aware that this is likely the corniest blog title I have ever come up with in over 2,800 posts. I am very proud of it. What's next? The Call BP? Ha! Ok, I gotta stop...

Dude, I pray at the pump too! Only I add a buck to the pump rate and claim it. However I concur that a strict "no hand-holding" code must be observed, especially with strangers.

at least he looks like a recycler...my wife commented that he must have picked up my 1989 chess king sweater somewhere along the way....
And my daughter thinks that the reprimand to "not pray in front of others" means that at bedtime she should sit next to, not in front of me.
Some of us are more literal than others, I guess.
And some of us think that puns are great!
