newsreaders invoke God before each bulletin

Anchor woman: God is great. And speaking of great, Spiderman 3 is smashing box office records.
Anchor man: Praise God. Not many praising George Bush though, as his approval rating is now below 30%.
Sports Guy: Hail, Mary full of grace. Favre beats the Vikings with a 60 yard touchdown pass as time ran out!
Weather guy: Hey! I was going to use Hail Mary.
