A little nugget from The Onion
Good for a quick chuckle, anyway:


Church, State Joyfully Reunite After 230-Year
Trial Separation

WASHINGTON, DC—Following a two-and-a-quarter-century-long trial separation, Church and State reunited in the U.S. Department of Justice press room Monday. "Even through all the bad times, I knew there had to be a way to get these two old friends back together," Attorney General John Ashcroft said. "With a little counseling and faith-based intervention, I knew Church and State would work it out. It was meant to be." Effective Oct. 15, prayer will be mandatory in public schools and congressional sessions will open with Holy Communion.

1. If Ashcroft had his way
this would be in the New York Times rather than the Onion.

3. I want them to divorce again
They really aren't suited to each other. The State can do so much better without being tied down to the Church. I think the State was also much happier when it was free of that stifling entanglement.
