- I know the generic ballot looks great for a Dem Congress. But when people say they hate Congress in general they also say they like their current Congressperson just fine. I wonder whether the generic ballot number needs to be filtered through this lens? Then again, GOP is showing signs of panic. September 23, 2026 Michael Froomkin

Great piece, thanks for the link.
Angry? Ya think?
I gotta say I never ran across this crap when I was in the service–but that was long ago.
It really is offensive when groups of the faithful (of any denomination) – attempt to insinuate their beliefs into military or political culture by using scriptural terminology, holding impromptu prayer meetings, handing out leaflets etc. Strict rules need to be enforced to ensure it doesn’t happen. Religion should be a personal matter, especially in a pluralistic setting – out of respect for others if nothing else. A soldier or political rep can always go visit their pastor, or retire to their office/residence to pray alone or in the company of others – it should not be put on display.
