Ray Nagin, mayor of New Orleans, not quite the speaker MLK was.

I don’t point out the obvious here because it’s as if the mainstream
won’t mention it.  Quite the opposite: a Democratic mayor says
something stupid, it’s Headline News.  A Democratic former vice
president accuses the sitting president of intentional repeated
criminal acts, it’s sandwiched between a space probe and a cake for Ben
Franklin.  (Gore would have gotten more coverage if he’d taken
hostages, spilled toxic waste on a highway, or both.)

I mention Nagin here out of basic fairness: sure, it’s offensive when
the Pat Robertsons of the world invoke some weird notion of god as
projections of their own ego and desires.  But it should obviously be
just as offensive and idiotic when someone else does it, too.

If not, then I hereby justly declare that God Almighty, the Infinite
and Unknowable, Creator of All That Is Beyond Comprehension, is
cheating on his diet with a tuna sandwich at the moment.  He also bats
left-handed but throws with his right, loves the ketchup-flavored
Twisties snacks you can buy in southeast Asia, and hasn’t played the
banjo in almost a year.

Oh — and God Almighty really, really thinks it’s incredibly stupid-sounding when anyone claims with certainty to speak for Him.
