Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

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).

In a political context, Judeo-Christian originally meant "Not a godless Commie." So it's antitotalitarian in that it's anti-Stalin.
I see at as more window dressing for people who want to pay lip service to the constitution by pretendong that it's a cultural thing rather than straight-up Christianity boosting.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My sister is all "Dr!" and I'm all "You'll always be Missy to me, young'un."

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Me and my lowly B.A. figure if someone put in the time and effort and big brains to get a PhD, if they want to be called "Doctor," that's fine by me.
But not if they want to be called "Doctor Judeo-Christian," because that would just be weird.
