It must be so very, very awesome to always know God is fighting for your political team:

No, you got the name wrong, I am sure they are praying to Lucifer.

I've asked Mrs. Yard, a witch, to cast a spell afflicting all members of the Senate with a serious case of the cooties if any one of them utters so much as ONE MORE SYLLABLE on this matter. I don't care if they continue to caucus and switch sides and horse-trade and what not; I just want them to stop using the English language to do so. Any minute now, we're going to run out of words. They are using them all up. We have other matters to discuss, matters of grave importance--say, the Phillies signing Halladay, or the relative merits of the various little black dresses in the latest Boston Proper catalog--and we can't allow every last letter to be squandered on a debate that has long since talked itself out. The Senators will have to make like the psychohistorians in Asimov's Foundation trilogy and grunt, shudder, nod etc. to communicate, once the wifey's spell kicks in. Obscene gestures are also permitted, of course.
