If you Christians don't quit worshipping golden calf statues, I'm gonna smash your laws.

I was just listening to MPR's Talk of the Nation, and they were discussing the Supreme Court's recent rulings on the display of the Ten Commandments in public space.

It was going along about as these things usually do (everyone treated with courtesy and respect--even the most preposterous--and everyone quite sonorous and boring) until we got to the inevitable Christian boob-of-a-caller. This guy, in a spirit of American tolerance and ecumenism, suggested that, since we, (the Christians,) get to place the Ten Commandments monuments, it would be okay with him if the "Jewish people" could put a symbol of their religion in our courthouses, too.

Now that's entertainment I'm willing to pay a membership fee for.
