WWJD(if he were a misogynistic advice columnist)?

Pat Robertson is receiving criticism for telling a 700 Club viewer concerned about her husband flirting with other women that she should “make [herself] as attractive as possible and [not] hassle him about it.”

In fairness to Robertson, his job as a pastor is not to take sides in America’s culture wars, but rather to interpret and spread the word of Christ. And I believe his remarks here are taken almost verbatim from Jesus’ Sermon to the Sadducees, commonly referred to as the “Lighten Up, Toots” sermon.

Quick, Someone Explain Symbolism to Scalia

During oral arguments in the Salazar v. Buono case (involving the constitutionality of a 5-foot cross in the Mojave National Preserve), Justice Scalia clearly just didn’t understand what all the fuss was about. After Peter Eliasberg of the ACLU explained that the cross symbolizes, you know, something Christian-y, Scalia had this to say:

The cross is the most common symbol of … of … of the resting place of the dead.

I’m pretty sure that’s more commonly symbolized by zombies. If only there were someone out there with a very simplistic knowledge of both symbolism and Christianity to explain this….

“It’s a McNaughton!”
