God Tells Rick Perry Not to Run

According to sources, God has answered Texas Governor and potential Presidential candidate Rick Perry's prayers, and has told him not to run for President.  Earlier this week, Perry had voiced his self-assurance that God wanted him to run: "God will answer my prayers by encouraging me to enter the race.  Surely, He has payed close attention to how many prisoners I have executed and how tough I have been on the gays."  After being informed that God has told Gov. Perry not to run, the 3 term Governor seems to be very confused and would not take any questions.  "I punished everyone the bible says to punish!  What did I do wrong?" said Perry in a published statement.
