Silly Science: The Power of Prayer

There is an article in today's NYT on a decade-long study of over 1800 heart-surgery patients on the power of prayer to heal.

It did worse than no good at all. It actually increased the complications of patients who knew they were being prayed for.

With that in mind, I'd like to say this:

Now, more than ever, we need to keep the Vice President in our prayers. Please email Mr. Cheney and tell him you're praying for him.

Hard.
