Electric Josh

Everyone elected is freaking out about the fact that a federal judge has ruled the Pledge of Allegiance to be unconstitutional. I, for one, find the Pledge of Allegiance (ask any elementary school kid to spell that) to be stupid. It's a rote sequence of syllables; it doesn't matter whether one of those syllables is "god". If I absolutely had to pick a side on this issue I'd agree with the judges, but I'd rather have the anachronistic thing tossed out altogether. How would the debate shift if it was called the "McCarthyist Loyalty Oath" instead? #
