Springtime For Hitler...On Ice!

I don't really need to tell you how dumb, or unsurprising, this proposed bill from U.S. Congress is, that would declare 2010 the "Year Of The Bible." Regardless of the fact that the U.S. government seems to treat every year like the Year Of The Bible, they want to make it official this year. Religious minorities and atheists alike, both in and out of Congress, are outraged, the Jesus-Freak Congressmen are fighting like the religious crusaders they are, and Bill Maher likely just shat a brick.

But one thing did pop out at me from the article by Victoria McGrane at Politico...read below:

Jews in Congress and atheist activists are dismissing the resolution, while none of the many Democrats in Congress who are Christian have bothered to sign on as co-sponsors.

I know this may be the completely wrong place, but does the simple mention of "Jews In Congress," isolated from everything else, seem a little odd to anyone?

Or is anyone like me and only reminded of "Jews in Space" from History Of The World, Part I?
