Several weeks ago a prayer request was circulating in certain right-wing fundamentalist religious circles petitioning God to drown out the Democratic National Convention with torrential rains. They wanted a flood — not quite a “Noah” level flood, but certainly enough water to endanger not only the human beings who attended the convention, but the countless (nonpolitical) children and elderly who live in the area too.

After reading this article this morning, my advice to these petitioners would be: Be Careful What You Pray For.

For those who won’t click through otherwise, the punchline here is:

The sprinkler was located on the club level in a skybox which had recently been renovated to host a news crew. It appears the skybox belongs to Fox.

God’s sense of irony is undiminished, I see.

Enjoy.
