A note of explanation first: On Passover, we sing a song of praise to God called Dayenu, or "enough" in Hebrew. It chronicles each event that paved the way out of Egypt for the Israelites, beginning with God sending Moses to ask Pharaoh to let them go, all the way up to the temple being established in Jerusalem, and says that if God had gone no further than each event named, it would have been enough for us.
Well, someone took that prayer and plugged the Saints' past season into it, and here are the results:
Here is a special prayer that will be read throughout Jewish homes in South Louisiana this Passover.
Had He receded the floodwater and not given us our team back
Dayenu, It would have been enough for us
Had He given us our team and not provided a Payton
Dayenu, It would have been enough for us

That was just about the sweetest post prayer I've ever seen.
Passover my ass. Lucky us, eh?
I agree with Abby Hoffman, Jews invented stand up comedy.
But did you hear what is on the Internets?
Former Hindu, Exorcist, and now child-governor of Louisiana Bobby "Brady" Jindal was found this morning, crouched in his bath tub in his Gub'na Suit, with his hands clasped tightly around the tiny helpless neck of a King Cake Baby, muttering drool:
"Die, Whore Child of Bourbon." Quietly, almost subliminally PBJ mewled his frustration beneath a louder drone mantra: "It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion."
But King Cake Baby Won't Die! It, Louisiana, just stares back at His'Boner with those cute purple and gold plastic eyes, singing to itself, "These poor goddamn fools never learn. Who'dat?"
It's true! It's on the Internets!
Well it's hanging on the Ladder anywayz...
Thanks youz.
