<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Reno, Nevada-based Hindu priest Rajan Zed will read the opening prayer before the California Senate Aug. 27 in Sacramento, according to a press release from Zed.
Zed will read from ancient Sanskrit scriptures. He will read the English translation of the prayer after that. The full text of the prayer will be recorded in the Daily Journal of the Senate, which is a permanent public record.

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->He will start and end the prayer with "Om," the mystical syllable containing the universe, which in Hinduism is used to introduce and conclude religious work. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Didn't Witzel and his side-kick Farmer state that 'Om' was a goat's mating call?
If they want to buy a Greyhound bus ticket to Sacramento so that they can lodge a protest, I'm sure we can pass the hat around <!--emo&:blow--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='blow.gif' /><!--endemo-->
