Wow, I never thought I’d see this. On the lawn of the century-old Cumberland County Courthouse in Tennessee is a statue of The Flying Spaghetti Monster. They issued a permit for it’s construction and everything. Granted, it’s only temporary, but the fact that this happened without inspiring a demonstration is a huge First Amendment victory.

Time to plan that Pirate Pilgramage. But hurry, the statue is only there until May 1st.
