18. The article made one small mistake...

it's the Council for Secular Humanism that this guy Flynn heads.

But, this isn't the first time Flynn has dumped on the administration for bringing religion into government. Here, he jumps on Obama and Vilsack for their "praying for rain" comments:

I'm guessing shooting off his mouth like this, and using such tragedies to get publicity, isn't going to make many new friends.
