Begone Ye Potholes, Begone!

Only in America: Praying the potholes away:

Facing a need for $743 million worth of repairs to crumbling infrastructure, the mayor of Jackson, Mississippi, has told residents the city can fix its many potholes through the power of prayer. "Yes, I believe we can pray potholes away," said Mayor Tony Yarber, who is also a church pastor, on Twitter. "Moses prayed," he said, "and a sea opened."

Perhaps Mayor Yarber has a special affinity with potholes since both potholes and the space between his ears are full of empty space.
