Today, for Five Dollar Friday I just donated $5 to the Freedom From Religion Foundation in appreciation of its successful effort to end the “National Day of Prayer.” Specifically, I donated to their Legal Fund, so as to avoid the insanity of helping them fund an advertisement in the New York Times, an institution for which I think we should invent Unsubscription Saturdays.

During 2007 and 2008 dozens of government officials were subpoenaed, right on up to the Vice President, who simply showed Congress their middle fingers and went on their merry way. During 2009 and thus far in 2010, as far as we know, and with a
