The Chant of the Barbie Dolls

Indepdent TD Wannadem Healy-Rae today rounded on the people of Kerry, claiming that "as God above" controls the weather, He is clearly punishing the people of Kerry by repeatedly lambasting and smiting their coastal towns and villages, and wrecking the blossoming tourist industry, not to mention making it difficult to get out and drink and drive properly.

When questioned further, the deputy claimed that "Sure, 'tis only logical and reasonable, in all scientific truth". The fact that God has chosen to repeatedly inflict the most significant storm damage over the past 5 years on the South West, he claimed, must mean that God himself is angry with the good people of Kerry.

"It isn't clear just now", claimed the deputy, "whether 'tis their lifestyles, or the heathen ways of the permissive society that has unfortunately taken hold, even in Kerry; or indeed if He's just upset that maybe we're infringing on his copyright of the phrase 'for dine is de kingdom'. But whatever it is, he is using the weather as a tool to express his displeasure with them - this is an outrageous example of Divine eco-terrorism, at it's worst. I'll be communing with God forthwith so He may reveal unto me his reasons; but I'll be giving him a good piece of my mind, on behalf of the people of Kerry (that I represent)".

I asked the deputy if he thought that perhaps the people of Kerry might think of adopting a different God, one that didn't smite so much with the weather and stuff, but the deputy proceeded to rant so much about false gods, blasphemy and so on, it wasn't possible to tell what he was saying.

I wonder if God is actually just really browned off with the people of Kerry for who they are choosing to elect as public representatives?
