Happy New Year with a Mixed Bag of News
From CNN:
A number of atheists and non-religious organizations want Barack Obama’s inauguration ceremony to leave out all references to God and religion.
In a lawsuit filed Tuesday in Washington, the plaintiffs demand that the words “so help me God” not be added to the end of the president’s oath of office.
In addition, the lawsuit objects to plans for ministers to deliver an invocation and a benediction in which they may discuss God and religion.
From Perez Hilton:
We hope this happens!
A source close to Jennifer Hudson has said that the Oscar winner
may perform the Star Spangled Banner at Barack Obama
’s inauguration on January 20th.
It would be her first public performance/appearance since the horrific murder of her mother, brother and young nephew.
From La Figa:
Wow, talk about emasculating and meddlesome! This wife makes Dagwood’s Blondie and Bewitched’s Samantha Stevens look laudenum-dosed by their husbands’ work. On Christmas Eve, Rebecca Griffin sent out an email asking friends to sign a petition going asking that her husband keep his job now that a new boss was coming in.
And there is more from La Figa:
Mike has been working hard to keep his GWB appointed gig. He had NASA print and bind at the agency’s expense 2,500 copies of his speeches at a cost of $57,000 and then used priority mail to make sure PEBO got one. No other past adminstrator has done that, and considering NASA, and the country, is sorta cash strapped right now, maybe that wasn’t the best move to impress the P-E.
Any thoughts?
