Establishmentarians 0

Schuyler Mitchell takes deep look at efforts of far right evangelical they-call-themselves Christians to destroy the Constitution’s establishment clause. A snippet:

But in chipping away at foundational constitutional protections, Christian nationalist groups stand to win more than prayer in schools or Bible-based lesson plans.

Musical NotesGuns and stupid, guns and stupid.
They go together like love and Cupid.
Let me tell you brother,
You can’t have one without the other.

William Anton, in the voice of Assistant D.A. George Donovan:

The people who gave us golf and called it a game are the same people who gave us bagpipes and called it music.

Afterthought:

I used to shoot pool–indeed, I once had my own table–so I understand golf. Your opponent is the ball, not the other players
