GAMOW Should Still Be Postponed

      Even though the fabulous efforts of the law enforcement community ended the Washington, D.C. area sniper crisis much faster than anyone expected, the GAMOW is still a badly planned idea and should be postponed until next year.  Doing it next week on Saturday will make atheists look bad, not good.

      The idea of a godless Americans march on Washington is a great concept.  The execution, however, demonstrates great incompetence on the part of the leadership of American Atheists, who put the plan together.

      Perhaps Ellen got tricked as a result of her naivety and inexperience.  Perhaps the date offered to her, the weekend before the national elections when Congress would be out of session, was offered to her by those who wanted the efforts of atheists to have no impact, whatsoever.  Ellen fell for it and allowed all that money and effort to be expended on a time when nobody important from the federal government would be in town to hear about it.

      It is difficult to get good box seats to see the Cubs play at Wrigley Field.  I, however, can get you as many good box seats as you'd like at Wrigley for just three dollars per ticket.  The only problem is that, like Ellen's GAMOW, the tickets would be good only on November 2, 2002.  Just like Ellen's GAMOW, showing up when the season has been over since the previous month is a big waste of money and a big waste of time.  It accomplishes nothing.  It may make the participants feel good ("Look, honey, we're sitting just thirty feet from home plate!"), but if the team you went to see ended it's season and went home a month ago, you look like a real bimbo for showing up at all at that time of year.

      We've all heard a number of dumb blonde jokes, over the years.  Here's the latest one:

 

      When does a blonde schedule a protest rally to take place in our nation's capital to demand that Congress take certain action?  A month after Congress concludes its two-year session and goes home to campaign for the upcoming elections!

 

      While concentric circles no longer need to be placed on the GAMOW T-shirts, a much better plan would be to re-schedule the Godless Americans March on Washington for next year, at a time when Congress will be in session so that they will be around to hear the atheists' important message.

      It's still not too late to change it, Ellen.
