The not-almighty dollar
Oh, I wouldn't say I've been missing it:

PHILADELPHIA - An unknown number of new George Washington dollar coins were mistakenly struck without their edge inscriptions, including “In God We Trust,” and are fetching around $50 apiece online.

The properly struck dollar coins, bearing the likeness of the nation’s first president, are inscribed along the edge with “In God We Trust,” “E Pluribus Unum” and the year and mint mark. The flawed coins made it past inspectors and went into circulation Feb. 15.

The U.S. Mint struck 300 million of the coins, which are golden in color and slightly larger and thicker than a quarter.


Like "under God" in the "Pledge of Allegiance," this fornication of church and state was sicced upon us in the McCarthy era, a time that everyone more evolved than Ann Coulter supposedly has repudiated.

Hey, the liberal light is always on at the Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy. Please stop by and say "hi!"
