Atheist Sues Accident Pilot

Famous Atheist Michael Newdow, fresh from his Supreme Court campaign to strip "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance, has filed suit against the estate of Transoceanic Airlines Captain Myles Lucky.

Lucky was one of 88 persons who perished when a Transoceanic jet flying a military charter crashed April 1, 1989 in Gander, Newfoundland. The root of Newdow's case is that Captain Lucky's last words, recorded on the CVR of the ill-fated DC-8, were, "Oh, my God!"

"Because it was a government charter, this constitited an unconstitutional establishment of religion," according to briefs filed by Mr Newdow.

Mr. Newdow, a California attorney, is representing himself. The case will move forward as soon as he can raise sufficient funds to pay himself. "These lawyer bills are killing me," Newdow confided.
