HR 153

I posted yesterday about House Resolution 153 which would designate a day as a national day of prayer, fasting and humility.  Well, the damnable thing passed today.  If you'd like to find out whether your representative voted in favour of it or not, here's the vote roll at thomas.loc.gov so you can find out.

Over at Atrios' Eschalon, several people have suggested various ways to protest this action, including declaring your own day of gluttony, bragging and hedonism.  One suggestion is to - on whichever day is eventually chosen to be The Day - spend the day visiting every all-you-can-eat buffet you can find, bragging about yourself and having some good, not-so-clean fun.  While I can't actually go out to do something like this, I love the concept, and want to encourage anyone who thinks this kind of a resolution is inspiringly insipid - not to mention a violation of the separation of Church and State - to join in.
