# 50 No crosses at inauguration.
We've hit the half-century mark; and a fitting milestone this is - another repudiation of Christianity by "Brother" Bush (rather, BIG Brother Bush!).
We might pass 60 by the inauguration - move over Babe, here comes Bush! That'll be in only three months - only half a season!
We'll certainly shoot for 75 to pass Barry Bonds, and then go for 92 to pass Wayne Gretzky on our way to 100! Bush is going to shatter every record on the books!
Again, crosses are symbols and I don't believe God is pleased with them anyway, but that's NOT why the Bush administration has now twice been anti-cross. It is another repudiation of anything thought to be Christian.

A Christian group is accusing the U.S. Secret Service of religious discrimination and censorship for issuing a memo that bans Christian crosses from the presidential inauguration parade later this month.
Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, director of the Washington, D.C.-based Christian Defense Coalition, contends the Secret Service has "trampled the First Amendment and crushed religious freedom in the public square."
"Simply put, it is religious bigotry and censorship," he said. "It is even more troubling when one realizes that it is only Christian symbols that have been excluded from the inauguration parade."
Tom Mazur, spokesman for the Secret Service, told WorldNetDaily the prohibition is simply a security matter that has nothing to do with the religious nature of the cross.
