on November 3, the day before election day, I wrote: "I for one am highly looking forward to being disappointed in obama."

I didn't think I'd have to wait very long, but I thought he might at least actually make it to inauguration day first.
but no.

I'll let fr_defenestrato, in a priceless bit of parody, take it from here though:

President-elect Barack Obama made no apologies Thursday for asking evangelical pastor Rick Warren to give the invocation at his inauguration

Wait, is this ANY pastor or just this idiot you are objecting to?


I think having a religious invocation is inappropriate in general.

I think inviting a anti-choice, anti-gay fuckbiscuit like warren is a bad decision in specific.

the reasons for each of these is different.

see my response to boutell first post on the subject for a fuller explication on the second item.

Are we also to be disappointed in the pick of Joe Lowery?

he seems less objectionable on the specific grounds that warren is problematic, but equally objectionable on the church/state grounds.
