House to God: Help!
The House just opened Day 140 -- the session's last -- with a prayer by Dallas GOP Rep. Tony Goolsby.
"God, we ask that you watch over your flock and ... deliver them safely from the clutches of conflict," he said.
No, that wasn't a reference to internecine strife in the House but a Memorial Day prayer for the troops.
Mr. Goolsby did beseech the Almighty, though, for patience with a certain group of lawmakers.
"God, this is our prayer," he said. "Hang in there with us. We need you more now than ever. Amen."
