A Sign From God
If we've learned anything from Pat Robertson and other evangelicals over the years, it's that god uses hurricanes like pitchers use the high and tight one: as a message pitch. So when Mitt Romney blames his loss on Hurricane Sandy, I think we need to consider it in that light.
Before that, though, I'd say we need to know where Mitt stands (and, sure, I understand that that's about as stable a concept as ol' Galloping Gertie up there) on the matter of our maker manifesting meaning via meteorological manipulations. And, given that Mitt has long since proved he'd say anything at any time to anyone, maybe someone should ask Pat Robertson himself to comment on the assertion. Because that's something I'd really like to see.
