PRAYER & THE SUPREME corpse

Q:  What are the 3 branches of American government?

A: The President, the Congress and the Supreme Corpse. 

Today the Supreme Corpse proved once again it is nothing but a dead body willing to let anyone do anything – all ya hafta do is ask It nicely. 

This morning, the town of Greece, New York, asked the Corpse if it could open its town meetings with Christian prayer.  The Corpse mumbled 
yes, from now on all American towns can open their meetings with Christian prayer.

This flies directly in the face of the First Amendment, which says you can’t do that. 

One more sign that in this country an unholy alliance has congealed and coagulated between Cons* and Jehovah the Control Freak.**   

Never vote for Cons.  Cons have swamped Congress and Corpse both, and have nearly brought America to a screeching standstill.

* “Con” is short for “conservative wingnut”   
** Richard Dawkins’ title for Jumpin’ J, not mine.

COURT Favors CHURCH OF SUMMUM

Much to the horror of Christians in Pleasant Grove City, Utah, the Supreme Court recently ruled to allow the Church of Summum to post its Seven Aphorisms in the town park alongside the Ten Commandments:

“They’ve put a basically Judeo-Christian religious text in the park, which we think is great, because people should be exposed to it,” Mr. Temu [of the Summum Church] said. “But our principles should be exposed as well.”

Su Menu, the church’s president, agreed. “If you look at them side by side,” Ms. Menu said of the two monuments, “they really are saying similar things.”

The Third Commandment: “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.”

The Third Aphorism: “Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates.”

Michael W. Daniels, the mayor here, is not the vibrating sort.

Sitting with the city attorney in a conference room in City Hall, Mr. Daniels deftly drew several fine lines in explaining why the city could treat the two monuments differently....
