I know: I was trying to say "sweet decorum," though perhaps Justin will
want to reenact the scene from "Monty Python's Life of Brian," in which the
Roman guard lectures Brian on the poor Latin grammar of his anti-Roman
graffiti and then makes him write the correct version 100 times on the
wall. It's a great scene.

Of course, that movie summarizes my knowledge the way Madonna's "Evita"
summarizes my knowledge of Péron.
