Texas Enacts Leviticus as State Law

Texas governor Rick Perry today signed into law the entirety of the Bible’s Book of Leviticus after it passed both houses of the legislature by more than two-thirds majorities. Meanwhile, Congressman Tom DeLay forced a mandatory kneel-down prayer meeting in the U.S. Congress to give thanks for this first enactment of Leviticus. The book is being incorporated into legislation in fourteen states nationwide, and legislatures have been racing to see who can make it law first.
Immediately after the signing, the Texas governor privately removed and then publicly burned the cotton-polyester leisure suit he had worn to the ceremony. It was replaced with an all-polyester leisure suit.
