What would "Judeo-Christian political theory" be, anyway?
Everything has to be "based on the Bible," whatever that means.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Frequently, people who use the phrase "Judeo-Christian" like that remind me of people with PhDs in botany or some other non-medical field who insist on being called "Doctor".

Dude, if I put went through all the blood, sweat, and tears of getting a PhD you'd be calling me Dr.
Miss? Mrs? Ms?

In a political context, Judeo-Christian originally meant "Not a godless Commie." So it's antitotalitarian in that it's anti-Stalin.
[er, not that the Christian Governance people seem to be aware of that bit of history. Though they also seem to be Canadian, so perhaps it's not really relevant.]

I hear "Judeo-Christian" and then to think "ok, so we (the white guy Christinan establishment) like the Jews now. So include 'em for this."

After WWII that was exactly the point - religious to differentiate us (Americans) from the Soviets, and "Judeo" to make it clear we also weren't Nazis.

The Ig-Nobel for Management makes so much sense it's depressing:
MANAGEMENT PRIZE: Alessandro Pluchino, Andrea Rapisarda, and Cesare Garofalo of the University of Catania, Italy, for demonstrating mathematically that organizations would become more efficient if they promoted people at random.

Trudy, I tried, but much as I love Scorsese and MKW, I hate it. I thought I would love it...I have a sad. The production design people deserve a prize, though.
I think we can still be friends. It IS gorgeous...

The only time I use Dr. is if someone actually asks me "Miss or Mrs?" (which, thankfully, happens very rarely).
