Not Your Fathers Prayer meeting?

Imagine walking into church Sunday morning and seeing three SUVs behind the pulpit. That's just what church goers at Greater Grace Temple in Detroit saw this morning. The SUVs served as the backdrop to a prayer service with the purpose of petitioning God for bailout money to keep the big three alive. UAW members, executives, and even the dreaded car salesmen present in the service came forward and were anointed with oil as prayers were offered up to turn the hearts of congress to favoring the 15 billion "loan". UAW Vice President General Holiefield told the attendees of this morning's service that after pleading their case and fighting for the bailout that "We have done all we can do in this union, so I'm going to turn it over to the Lord."

Ugh, this sounds more like a petition to Michael Moore to make another documentary about the failing auto industry. (Google: Roger & Me)
