Religious license
By Bruce Kluger, David Slavin and Tim Foley
June 21, 2008
South Carolina passed a law this month allowing it to become the first state in the nation to offer its citizens specialty license plates that carry a Christian message. Adorned with a stained-glass window, a cross and the words "I Believe," the plates are already inciting protests from, among others, the American Civil Liberties Union and the American Jewish Congress; and Americans United for Separation of Church and State filed a lawsuit Thursday.

Then there's the matter of equal time ...





Bruce Kluger and David Slavin write satire for National Public Radio's "All Things Considered." They are coauthors of the new book, "Young Dick Cheney: Great American," which is illustrated by Tim Foley.

1. Love the wicca plate.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. My dear asdjrocky!

It's a hoot for sure!

:hi:

[asdjrocky]

6. And so, so good to "see" you as always Peg.

I hope you're doing well, and staying cool in this Ca heat.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. Thanks, sweetie!

I'm staying relatively cool, thanks to our wonderful central A/C!

:hi:

2. Shouldn't the PA plate be Amish?

they could put it on their horse or whatever.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. My dear newmajority!

Good thought!

I believe that the main focus was religious, however...

:shrug:

:hi:

[newmajority]

10. I figured the Amish were the most famous religious sect in PA

I didn't realize they had a large JW population. It seemed that the artist of the cartoon was going for the stereotypes in his examples.... Jews in Florida, Scientologists in California, Mormon polygamists in Utah, etc. It's funny either way, but I just think "Amish" more than the door knockers when I think of Pennsylvania.

Could have been worse, I guess. He could have gone for a Quaker Oats joke.

[pleah]

5. K&R What a hoot!

:rofl: :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. My dear Jesuswasntafascist!

7. "Call your mother!"

:rofl:

Good stuff there! :thumbsup:




BTW, CaliPeg, if you use "Direct Link" instead of "IMG code" from photobucket you won't get that extra pic placeholder on the left.

:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. My dear krispos42!

Oh, thanks!

I wondered how to do that...

These are hilarious, IMHO!

If you click the link to the article, you can see the images in a much larger format...

They wouldn't copy and paste, so I went the Photobucket route...

:hi:

[PetrusMonsFormicarum]

13. Ha ha ha-Whew!

Hilarious!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. Glad you liked them!

We could certainly use a laugh!

[Libby2]

14. LMAO

Love the GODSHMOD.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. It made me laugh too!

:rofl:

[MissB]

15. I'm not sure which one tickles my funny bone more.

It's a toss up between the Atheism one and the Scientology one. :rofl:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. My top fav was the Utah one!

Glad you enjoyed them!

:rofl:

[UrbScotty]

21. Oh my gosh, my dear CaliforniaPeggy!

I'm not sure which is my favorite... probably the Jehovah's Witnesses one!

:rofl:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. My dear ih8thegop!

I keep thinking the next one...no, the next one...etc!
