    … Spouses of U.S. Supreme Court Justices Neighborhood Welcome Wagon Association, and Liberals for the Prevention of Morality.

    Hmm, yeah, I think you’re right, it’s probably satire, but it’s getting harder and harder to say for sure…

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Mr. Landry is sued by 28 organizations, including the American Civil Liberties Union, Amalgamated Atheists of America, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Beelzebubbians, the Spouses of U.S. Supreme Court Justices Neighborhood Welcome Wagon Association, and Liberals for the Prevention of Morality.

    Speaking before the annual conference of the Evangelical Substitute Teachers Association on the eve of Thursday’s presidential debate against Mr. Biden, Mr. Trump calls the Ten Commandments “my favorite of all the commandments.” In an apparent reference to Moses, he says that “being from New York City,” he “personally knows many, many people named Moe, all of them terrific, and most of them dentists.”

    Bill Lee mandating that screen savers on devices (including televisions, iPhones and GPS) display clips from the 1956 movie “The Ten Commandments,” starring Charlton Heston as Moses.

    Henry McMaster mandating that all Boeing aircraft and BMW vehicles assembled in South Carolina show the Ten Commandments on windshields, using heads-up display technology.

    U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito Jr. says he has “no idea” how a 50-foot-high billboard inscribed with the Ten Commandments “ended up” atop his New Jersey vacation home.

    Drone footage taken by a neighbor shows a woman closely resembling Martha-Ann Alito, the justice’s wife, dangling from a crane, wearing a hard hat and painting what appear to be the words “THOU SHALT NOT.”

    Mr. Buckley is a novelist and humorist.

    Most definitely satire.
