Piccola laments lack of focus on Commandments

Thou shalt not make any graven image, the Ten Commandments say. Now, a state lawmaker wants to avoid any blurred images, too.

A tourist booklet of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court shows a picture of the jurists in front of a painting depicting the Ten Commandments, but the painting was blurred in the photo.

State Sen. Jeffrey Piccola, R-Dauphin County, complained about the blurring yesterday during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the nomination of Allegheny County Court Judge Cynthia Baldwin to the state Supreme Court.

Piccola asked Baldwin for help in ensuring that the next edition of the booklet does not "blur out the words of the Ten Commandments."

Every time I see Piccola's name, I always think of it in terms of that swiss cough drop Ricola, and I have to say his name to myself in the same way. "PEEEEE-CO-laaaa."
