Saw this gem in the AJC:

House Speaker Glenn Richardson (R-Hiram) has been a leading proponents of a smaller, less intrusive government. But he calls the Sunday sales ban a “time-honored tradition.”(link)

Correct me if I’m wrong Mr. Speaker, but aren’t we currently debating an official apology for another “time-honored tradition” which is now generally viewed as one of the worst crimes against humanity ever permitted by the US Government?

“Often, the less there is to justify a traditional custom, the harder it is to get rid of it.” – Marc Twain

Update: Will over at Peach Pundit has a different take. He thinks the Speaker is reverting to Papism and the infallibity of the mortals in determining God’s will.
