"State Representative Steve Hurst (R) has proposed a bill in the Alabama legislature that would set aside 15 minutes of every school morning for students to recite a prayer.

The proposed legislation, House Bill 318, was introduced last month.

The bill characterizes the extra time in the morning being used "for study of the formal procedures followed by U.S. Congress." This would require "a reading verbatim of one of the opening prayers given by the House or Senate Chaplain or a guest member of the clergy.""* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

The Young Turks (Winner - Best Political Podcast & Best Political News Site of 2009) were the first original talk show on Sirius satellite radio and the first live, daily webcast on the internet. But that is not the revolution.

We are a rare show that combines all of the news that people care about in one place. We are not afraid to talk about politics and entertainment and sports and pop culture. But that is not the revolution either.

The real revolution is in daring to be honest with people. We don't patronize our viewers or lie to them. We have real conversations and deliver the news honestly.
