Why Paul, I had no idea you were Ken Arndt's twin brother!

You're next, with your satanic company name.  But that's easy for you to
say when you're sitting snug in your bedroom 600 miles away from
Massachusetts, where the action is.  You're probably trying to persuade
Congress to provide grants to the states for enforcement of these laws.
I can spot a right-wing fundamentaloid lobbyist a thousand miles away!

Now I understand why your last name is different from your twin bother
Ken's.  Your mother could only fit one of you in her pouch, so she put
you out for adoption.  :-)

If I get the sleeping dog's leashed, then I won't have to tiptoe.
Massachusetts is essentially violating the Constitutional leash law for
religions.  Why wait?  Public humiliation will do far more to solve the
problem than tolerance of unconstitutional law will.
