The phrase "under God" was incorporated into the Pledge of Allegiance on June 14, 1954, 70 years ago today.

Random thought, if both the Senate and House have to recite the pledge before they start their session, how do they go directly from "with liberty and justice for all" to "let me tell you why these women and blacks and gays don't deserve rights" without the faintest bit of irony? Do they snicker during the last line of the pledge? Cross their fingers behind their backs?
