More Sillier Than Thou Is

Flag Banning. . . .

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled recently that the Pledge of Allegiance is unconstitutional because it mentions God.

Circuit Judge Alfred T. Goodwin said leading schoolchildren in a pledge that says the United States is “one nation under God” is as objectionable as making them say “we are a nation `under Jesus,’ a nation `under Vishnu,’ a nation `under Zeus,’ or a nation `under no god,’ because none of these professions can be neutral with respect to religion.”

The decision was met with widespread criticism. [Duh.]

Road Rage

Smiley Guy gets what’s comming to him. . .

I’ve had a real time trying to explain to a co-worker why there are traffic laws.... And why I hang onto every fixed object in the car for dear life. One of my most frequent expressions when she’s driving us to a job is “Aieeee!” This graphic was sent to us by another co-worker familiar with my bouts of driverphobia.

Enjoy!
