A Ten Commandments monument survives judicial scrutiny.

The Eighth Circuit, applying the newest Supreme Court cases, says yes to a 40-year-old, stone monument in Plattsmouth. Dissenting judges objected to the lack of a "contextualizing presence of other messages or some indicia of historical significance."

I said it last June.
The rule is: old things carved in stone should be left alone.

pigeons make more use of that stone than people do. I never look at things covered with bird poop.

I'd be more likely to look at it. Even photograph it if the crap was just so.
