I wasn't paying attention and tuned into a fundy station. i couldn't really hear it too well until the DJ came on. he started the whole god thing and then he said something really funny. He said, "it is through your prayers that we are able to support this station" So please contribute what you can to keep us on the air. Meaning "Give us your money". I thought it funny because he starts with prayer being the cause but in this reality knows full well that it is hard earned cash. What a shyster. This reminds me of the radio station I had on today.
