Just a Guess Again

Yes, "Newdow" does mean "Dipwad" in some foreign language.

Mike Newdow said his daughter was being "injured" by having to listen while the other children in her public school recited the Pledge of Allegiance with the dreaded words "under God".

According to the girl's mother, as reported by the AP in the WaPo, that would seem to be a lie:

The 8-year-old girl whose father successfully sued to have the Pledge of Allegiance declared unconstitutional has no problem with reciting the pledge at school, her mother said today.

"I was concerned that the American public would be led to believe that my daughter is an atheist or that she has been harmed by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, including the words 'one nation under God,' " Sandra Banning said. "We are practicing Christians and are active in our church." ....

I Can't Wait

Phil Donahue is starting a new TV show, next Monday on MSNBC. I predict his ratings — and reviews — will start abysmal and go down from there.

The heydey of the let's-never-think-about-anything, how-we-feel-about-it-is-all-that-matters liberal is over. Unfortunately, their deleterious influence on our society will linger for a very long time.

Phil Donahue's show is going to crash and burn, baby, burn. And he knows it will, too. That's why he (and helpful MSNBC) are already trying to give him an "out":

He may be in for a culture shock. “MTV I’m not,” acknowledged Donahue when asked about his age. “We’re going to find out if it matters.”

There you have it. Phil will console himself, and his 8 remaining supporters, by saying he's just too old for the MTV generation. Ha. Truth is, America is starting to realize the social morass that brainless liberalism has induced in our nation. And we now prefer that the people telling us what's wrong with the world actually use their brains (when available) instead of giving us only gushy do-whatever-you-want-to-do feel-good-ness.

Crash and burn, baby, burn. I would like to say I can't wait to see it happen. But I'm not going to be watching. And neither will anybody else.
