Speaking of Seattle scumbags, did you see Baghdad Jim McDermott today leading the House in the Pledge of Allegiance, and refusing to say "under God" in the Pledge? The scum in this article are his people. They love him, and until the God he refuses to acknowledge sends him home (to his father the Devil), McDermott can be counted upon to be the worthless teasonous SOB that he is.
I'll not disagree with you a whit about McDermott's character, but I do kind of appreciate both the traditional pledge as originally written, and the improvement meant to include a few little details its socialist author so conveniently left out.
But my hometown is that of the late Hoosier comedian and clown Red Skelton, who could be serious when he felt like it. And I once heard him give his little dissertation on the Pledge, and figure he called it long ago.
