"Everett, WA -- Ten Commandments out of place at police station, agnostic says"

(I was wondering when this was finally going to happen)

that's one of the most bizarrely put together news-items I've ever seen.
Plus, the kid is dressed like Avril. He's cute!

Jesse Card is quiet, polite -- a thinky 20-year-old who wears a necklace made of macrame, coiled wire and a wisdom tooth.

STONE HIM

a thinky 20-year-old???

Thinky vs. Drinky.

EVERETT -- Jesse Card is quiet, polite -- a thinky 20-year-old who wears a necklace made of macrame, coiled wire and a wisdom tooth. A button on his funky thrift-store tie indicates he is a 2-gallon donor to Puget Sound Blood Center.

In jeans and fleece, with moussed-up hair, he doesn't look like the man to take on Moses.

sounds EXACTLY like the kind of person who would sue to get a plaque with the 10 commandments removed.

The court date is set for October 2004. The city already has spent $30,000 to defend keeping the monument where it is.

Another case of governmental waste, kids! Where are the cow/field research studies to make sense of this?

Believe in standing up for your ideas, but get serious.

why doesn't he get together with some other "thinky" 20 year olds and vandalize the stupid monument? a large spray painted cock and balls will get them to remove it, if only for repairs!

If I was gonna take on Moses, I would definitely go with the mousse. Part this, motherfucker!

"Sure, I'll let you put a copy of the Ten Commandments in my (school|office bldg|courtroom) if you let me nail a copy of the Constitution to the chest of that Jesus statue in your church...."

and that's why the Baby Jesus cried, Custos...

Bad jokes.

No. Really.
I wish someone would go up to Jerry Falwell/Pat Robertson and say that directly to their faces.
It won't *help* the situation, but at this point, nothing will. (I doubt they can be reached even by such an obvious bit of logic.)

Having the ten commandments at a police station is vaguely unacceptable, but spending $30,000 of the state's money totally violates separation of c & s.
