As you may know, the US Supreme Court is hearing a case about the Pledge of Allegiance.

Nothing's perfect, but otherwise the whole thing sounds perfectly nutty.

So Slate -- which is, after all, owned by Microsoft -- has thoughtfully provided a PowerPoint version of the Pledge.

That was quite funny. I was quite surprised by the Jose Padilla reference.

That was amusing...although you have to know the Pledge in order to get a good laugh out of the last frame of the powerpoint presentation. Once I looked up the Pledge on the web, I found it very amusing indeed.
