"The Supreme Court’s Fake Praying Coach Case Just Got Faker

Last year, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of a high school football coach’s right to engage in “brief, quiet, personal” prayer—despite photographic evidence that his prayers were drawn-out, loud, and extremely public. . . Kennedy appeared to have little interest in taking back his old job, . . Then he acknowledged that he had sold his house and moved across the country . . ."

@morgfair
redux. To simply say that God hates democracy will piss a lot of people off, but let's face it, the American hoi polloi worship the King of Jews, or at least pretend to. Does no one notice that nobody votes or gets elected in the Bible? No corroboration of witnesses. Slaves. Theocrats want a stinking king, even if it has to be Trump. The one thing everybody agreed on in 1789: no stinking king.

The Oklahoma (recited daily)

Hail, Little Debbie,
Mother of Marshmallow,
In you we find our sweetness,
Our preservatives,
Our artificial flavors,
And creme filling.
To you do we turn,
Poor greedy children,
Moaning and feeding
In this vale of empty calories.
In you we find strength;
In you we are enabled
To transubstantiate
The trans-fatty acids
And bear with the aftertastes
Of life. Oh sweet
Virgin Debbie,
We give ourselves over
To your individually wrapped
Tender mercies. Amen.

The Charleston County (SC) School District Board of Trustees is considering prayer before school board meetings, with a majority of the committee of the whole members voting in favor of the amendment at the January 10 meeting. The amendments will likely be discussed again during the regular board meeting, which is at 5:15 PM January 23.
