Most of us by now acknowledge that the Second Amendment was a mistake, or at least has been overtaken by events and should be repealed. To the extent that it will help get believers out of Congress, or at least no longer allow them to claim biblical justification for every damn thing they do or won't do, can't we now tinker with the First Amendment just a bit?

Something like this, perhaps:

<blockquote>Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, <strike>or</strike> <b>but shall </b>prohibit<strike>ing</strike> the free exercise thereof.</blockquote> What's the harm in changing just a few words?

If Sen. James Inhofe believes that God controls the climate, he should be concerned that God is trying to demolish his state of Oklahoma with fires, earthquakes and tornadoes. But then, subtlety is lost on people like Sen. James Inhofe.

Highest point in the Cayman Islands: 141 ft above sea level. On Grand Cayman, 60 ft. Switzerland may be a better bet.

Or, as the South Africans would say, kaffirdams.

Which airport would then be on the east coast, Pittsburgh?, Buffalo?

The report contains those liberal talking points such as "facts" and "science" and "data" so it's probably the work of Satan. Pass the fried pork rinds please.

My move from Denver to San Diego isn't looking so smart now. At least I got a few years in without shoveling snow.

They laughed when Mitt stashed money in Switzerland, but he'll be swimming off the dock of his Zermatt mansion while all the rest of us are drowning or baking. The Cayman investment was a hedge against nuclear winter. Mormons don't store up a year's worth of food in their basements because they think everything's going to turn out <i>well.</i>
