Not that I really wanted to get involved in this one, but reading one of the news stories on Yahoo! set my teeth to grinding. Here’s the bit of nonsense in question:

Senate Chaplain Lloyd Ogilvie joined the fray in his opening prayer on the Senate floor on Thursday, saying: “Almighty God …. We acknowledge the separation of sectarianism and state, but affirm the belief that there is no separation between God and state.”

Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, a South Dakota Democrat, thanked Ogilvie, and said: “He spoke for all of us. We are one nation under God.”

Uh, Lloyd? Tom? Last time I checked, “freedom of religion” means that I don’t have to acknowledge your God, and my government (that would be you) shouldn’t be forcing your God down my throat.

A phrase added to the Pledge half a century ago is being removed because it violates church/state separation. Cool.

My wife was mildly amused by the “Karel is” Google search results. On a whim, we decided to try her name instead. Sadly, “Wendilynn is” returns almost no results at all, and none worth using.

“Wendi is”, however, indicates that she’s much more interesting than I am. (Hey, I’m a robot, remember?)
