Absurd: NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM?
Public schools in Fayette County are posting framed, enlarged copies of the back of the $1 bill to comply with a new state law that requires all schools to display prominently “In God We Trust.” The GOP should be totally down with this brilliant workaround because it satisfies the law and pays homage to this nation’s bedrock, founding ethos — “The chief business of the American people is business.” That was said by another shitgibbon president, Calvin Coolidge, as he shepherded us into the Great Depression.

Thorn: Let The Brown-Nosing Begin
