Perhaps the Talabamaban should have eight commandments

Mr. quite contrary, Hitchens, has a go at the 10 commandments:

“I wonder what would happen if secularists were now to insist that the verses of the Bible that actually recommend enslavement, mutilation, stoning, and mass murder of civilians be incised on the walls of, say, public libraries?”

Anil Dash’s quip about the Talabamaban is more economical: ‘protestors decry removal of golden calf monument’.
There goes commandment number 2.

Oh, and now that some (toothless, banjo-playing?) politicians in Mississipi want the two tons of bad art, I guess that’ll be breaking the last commandment.
