And now the blessing of the fleet isn't really religious

[DavidDvorkin]

The president can pray at the end of his speech because it was a reference to the blessing of the fleet, which has great emotional significance in coastal areas, so that makes it okay and atheists should just shut up.

Oh, and "I'm an atheist and I don't mind it, so therefore all other atheists should shut up about it."

I think that covers it.

1. Los Angeles has the Blessing of the Low-Riders

Nope, not kidding. LMAO the first time I saw that. Car clubs get together and a Catholic priest comes out and mumbles over the bling.

2. Next time there's a disaster in LA

I want to see whoever's president refer to that reverently during an address to the nation.
