I find this, from yesterday's New York Times, somewhat disturbing:

ALABAMA: MOSES ON THE MOVE Chief Justice Roy Moore, suspended for ignoring a federal judge's order to remove a Ten Commandments monument from the State Supreme Court building, has offered the monument to Congress. Jessica Atteberry, a spokeswoman for Justice Moore, said that he was sending the offer to the Congressional leadership and that the office of Representative Tom DeLay was researching who had the authority to decide whether to accept it. Justice Moore turned down offers from Gov. Ronnie Musgrove of Mississippi and others to display the granite block.

This Moore guy is no dummy. He knows that, if he gets cooperation from DeLay, and if he can catch the news cycle just right (probably with a big assist from Fox News), his little screw-the-separation-clause act can go national -- right there in Washington, D.C.

This guy is not going to go away.
