Today's Washington Post had a hilarious article about Alan Keyes and his wacko buddies at the Conservative Caucus. They got together to rant 'n' rave about the Judiciary, of course, and to suggest that "Ten Commandments Judge" Ray Moore is really the only sensible choice for the Supreme Court. Pardon me for saying, "God, help us!" What really got my attention, though, was this:
Members of a group called the Conservative Caucus sat around an oval table wearing Ten Commandments pins on their lapels and declining to speak in the polite tones favored by Bush in this "dignified debate" over judicial nominations.Ten Commandments lapel pins!? I've GOT to get me one of those. So I searched around the internets, and here they are! And are they tacky?
Yes, they are very, very cheap and tacky.
EDIT: I almost forgot about my favorite part! Although former Judge Moore couldn't attend the meeting, he was there in spirit, represented by his portrait from the cover of his book... a graven image, if you will.

You know they are right... With the state of America right now, the 10 commandments are the most important things. I would hate it if the criminals didn't get to go to trial without being reminded to keep the sabbath holy.
You know, these folks are forgetting that in the gospels, Christ told his followers that the greatest commandment was "Love thy neighbor." Not that the others are unimportant, but that one -- the one they NEVER bring up -- is paramount.
Alan Keyes is moving to Vermont to run for the senate against Bernie Sanders.
