Now that the election is over, and it is a few months for Senator Neophyte starts really screwing things up as president (“say, ah, um, er, folks, I initiated this 3am conference call to see what I should do about the Iranians announcing they just exploded a nuclear weapon.

Nope, that title is not a joke. And it is not that far off. Charging that principles of Islamic law are being introduced in the United States by stealth, critics on Thursday will protest outside a U.S. Treasury Department seminar on shari’a-complaint finance.
