"Yes, not everyone thanks a deity for their survival and nobody should thank their god for a vicious tornado that wiped out so much of what people owned and even took lives, especially the lives of innocent children.

Freedom From Religion Foundation Commercial on CBS Evening News
For once, a commercial during a news broadcast may have been as notable as the news itself. The Freedom From Religion Foundation aired a 30-second commercial at the third break, during the CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley. Not an event we see very often, but in light of the Reason Rally and the seeming lack of mainstream news coverage it got, perhaps this makes up for it, if only a little.

Trust me, if I weren't unemployed, the FFRF would be on my list, and they'd be getting a PROPER shot of cash from yours truly!

The ad was also on this Sunday's CBS Sunday Morning. Wonder if CBS is the only station that will show them?

Loren, thank you for posting this. Fortunately, I happen to be lucky enough to be employed. FFRF just got a shot of cash from me.
