RIP Zina Linnik - the sad and cruel irony

So much cruel Irony.  The body of the girl was found after the suspect in custody led them to it.

Body of missing Tacoma girl found

A suspect in the case of a missing 12-year-old Tacoma girl directed police to her body today, ending a week-long search after her July 4 abduction that drew national attention.

"It is with great regret and sorrow that I am informing our community that we have located the body of Zina Linnik," said Tacoma Police Chief Don Ramsdell, reading from a prepared statement tonight.

Ramsdell said information provided by the suspect led police and FBI investigators to the girl's body. Court records name the man as 42-year-old Terapon Dang Adhahn, a convicted sex offender who has been in custody on an unrelated immigration matter since Monday. He had not been charged in Zina's abduction or death as of Thursday night.

Stupid, Intolerant Christians disrupt Hindu Prayer in the Senate

Idiots!  I can't say it any more clearly then that.

Christian activists disrupt Hindu prayer in US Senate 

Invited by the Senate to offer Hindu prayers in place of the usual Christian invocation, Rajan Zed, a Hindu priest from Reno, Nevada, had just stepped up to the podium for the landmark occasion when three protesters, said to belong to the Christian Right anti-abortion group Operation Save America, interrupted him by loudly asking for God's forgiveness for allowing the ''false prayer'' of a Hindu in the Senate chamber.

"Lord Jesus, forgive us father for allowing a prayer of the wicked, which is an abomination in your sight," the first protester shouted. "This is an abomination. We shall have no other gods before You."

Democratic Senator Bob Casey, who was serving as the presiding officer for the morning, immediately asked the sergeant-at-arms to restore order. But they continued to protest as they were headed out the door by the marshals, shouting, "No Lord but Jesus Christ!" and "There's only one true God!"
