State senators designated Sunday as a day for citizens to ask for God's help dealing with the oil disaster.
"Thus far efforts made by mortals to try to solve the crisis have been to no avail," state Sen. Robert Adley said in a statement released after last week's unanimous vote for the day of prayer. "It is clearly time for a miracle for us."
The resolution names Sunday as a statewide day of prayer in Louisiana and calls on people of all religions throughout the Gulf Coast "to pray for an end to this environmental emergency, sparing us all from the destruction of both culture and livelihood."

Who the hell elected these people?
No, I'm being serious here, who the hell elected these senators? We elect senators to take action in our Representative Democracy and support our most popular views. We want them to take our issues that we care about to Congress. We don't pay them to make these ludicrous statements.
Sure, I may not be the most religious person, but come on! God didn't create this problem to begin with! We did! This is just one way the senators are washing their hands clean of the issue and saying "hey, we don't want to deal with this anymore, let's act someone else to fix it."
No. No, no, no, no. Fix the fucking problem. It's been 2 months already. And no, I'm not saying people aren't already trying to find a solution. I'm saying that there are other people who aren't taking responsibility.
