A Prairie Home Companion from American Public Media:

"This week on A Prairie Home Companion we'll bring you a live broadcast
performance from the Civic Center Auditorium in Bangor, Maine. Featuring
Pulitzer Prize winning poet Maxine Kumin, the David Mallet Trio, and a
comprehensive artistic rediscovery of our regular cast: The Guy's All-Star Shoe
Band with Rich Dworsky, Pat Donohue, Gary Raynor, Andy Stein, and Peter Johnson,
The Royal Academy of Radio Actors: Tim Russell, Sue Scott, and Fred Newman, and
that gangly guy with the socks. Join us this week, live from the Queen City of
the East."

I just got home from the live broadcast of this show. I will blog more regarding this in the morning.

Man asks court to change his name to "In God We Trust"

0 comments
ZION, Ill. -- Steve Kreuscher wants a judge to allow him to legally change his name. He wants to be known as "In God We Trust."
Kreuscher (CROY'-shir) says the new name would symbolize the help God gave him through tough times.
The 57-year-old man also told the (Arlington Heights) Daily Herald he's worried that atheists may succeed in removing the phrase "In God We Trust" from U.S. currency.
He recalls that the phrase "God Reigns" was removed from the Zion city seal in 1992 after courts deemed it unconstitutional. Zion was founded as a theocracy - by a sect that believed the Earth was flat.
The school bus driver and amateur artist in the northern Chicago suburb says he has filed a petition to change his name in Lake County Circuit Court.
