WASHINGTON - With all the trouble facing the nation, you’d think our Congressional representatives would have weightier matters on their minds than a “year of the Bible,” but you’d be wrong.

2010: Year of the Bible?

The Daily Kos is reporting that Rep. Paul Broun [R-GA] has introduced a resolution to encourage the president to declare 2010 as The Year Of The Bible.

Broun’s managed to assemble a fairly large list of co-sponsors for his resolution.

With unemployment at staggering levels, two wars and a raging recession, creating a  “year of the bible” is the burning issue for some elected officials?

Oh, brother, we are doomed.
