    Surely with your now vastly-expanded powers to think hypothetically you can come up with several scenarios in which asking for God's help in a small thing is neither myopic not self-centered. An OU win over Texas, for example.

              Granted, it may well be the most rational explanation for the Pa-10 invite.

                Well he should go bless someone else for a while

                  You should know that it depends on who's living right on and off the field.

                    Oral was older than the Rube? Who'da thunk it?

                    To play Devil's shyster, she did pass the Bar and practiced as a tax attorney for two decades prior to holding office. Whatever that means.
