Words to live by

I found a link to the latest Overcompensating strip (a consistently funny webcomic) on religion and in the accompanying blog post the author writes about Maine's bigot-folk happily denying rights to gays in the recent election:

It's a good thing there isn't a commandment in the Decalogue that simply says "Don't Be an Asshole," because a lot of American Christians would be in trouble right about now.

I had to laugh because staring at me from my office wall was one of my favorite cartoons. If only the founders had included it in the Constitution.
