Ed Brayton has a fantastically hilarious post covering the uproar over a Hindu's prayer that opened a recent session of Congress. What did Jefferson say about the number of gods his neighbor worshiped as it related to his finances and femurs? Aren't these people always getting their chastity panties in a wad over "religious freedom in America?"
I want to see an atheist give a short speech (in lieu of a prayer) at the beginning of Congress. It can extol the virtues of the Enlightenment and thank the United States for upholding them, however poorly, for over 200 years. Much better than asking false deities for protection and guidance.

Silly Christers, since when was a mere MOTTO (of recent origin, no less)a founding principle of our republic? What really troubles me is how the zealots got past security. Did they get a free pass because they appeared to be Christers? I hope the jihadis aren't paying attention to this.
