SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - An atheist who sued because he did not want his young daughter exposed to the words "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance is now filing a suit to bar the saying of a prayer at President Bush's inauguration.
Michael Newdow, of Sacramento, notes that two ministers, the Reverend Franklin Graham and the Reverend Kirbyjon Caldwell, delivered Christian invocations at Bush's first inaugural ceremony in 2001.

This man won't be at the inauguration, so what right does he have to say what goes on?
This country is full of crybabies and busy-bodies. They all need a punch on the mouth.

This jerk almost won the Pledge of Allegiance case. The judge ruled against him on a technicality, that he didn't have custody of his daughter. Maybe this time it will be the charm for him.
Citizens, we can't become complacent in this issue.

Interesting.
How does a "Jewish Atheist" differ from a "Christian Atheist"?
It seems to be an oxymoron.

There's his screen name. That previous link just shows
his comments that are still up.
Unless there's something I'm not aware of, anyway.

It's possible. I've never heard of anything like that, but then again, Jane Fonda's life interests me about as much as the mating habits of earthworms. :-p
