The 2023 National Prayer Breakfast came to an abrupt and premature end today due to severe lightning that kept striking the building where the politicians were gathered. “Well anyway, you know, we’re here to pray to, you know… the thing!” said a barely audible Biden as deafening thunder shook the room. “Let’s all remember that a woman’s right to choose is fundamental to our…”

At publishing time, the storm had mysteriously ceased after all the politicians left the building.
