It's all a punishment from above

Hurricane, Earthquake Comments 'A Metaphor'

Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) on Sunday changed her explanation for her controversial statement about Hurricane Irene and the earthquake that rocked the East Coast.
Last week, Bachmann seemed to suggest to a crowd in Florida that the natural disasters were messages from God warning politicians to take heed of small-government conservatives.
"I don't know how much God has to do to get the attention of the politicians. We've had an earthquake; we've had a hurricane. He said, 'Are you going to start listening to me here?'" Bachmann told the crowd.
Bachmann dismissed the controversy over the remark the next day, calling her line a joke. "Of course, I was being humorous when I said that. It would be absurd to think it was anything else," she said.
When asked about the statement in an interview on CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday, however, Bachmann shifted her tone somewhat, calling the statement a "metaphor."
"Obviously, I was speaking metaphorically," she told host Bob Schieffer. "That was clear to the audience. It was clear to me."

Wonder if she thinks the Texas wildfires are from the gods.
Wait - if the intensity of the weather is being increased by climate change - and intense weather is from god - and man is a cause of climate change - then man is God!!
