from the mouths of morons

[Jim Devine <jdevine03@xxxxxxxxx>]

from SLATE's news summary:>On the USA Today op-ed page, Jonah Goldberg
argues that while Western liberals [including Brad deLong?] want there
to be a Muslim reformation a la Martin Luther, his reading of history
suggests a different conclusion. "Many Protestant sects were as
austere as bin Laden's Wahhabi faith," and occasionally violent, too,
he says. The solution: "What the Muslim world needs is a pope."<

after all, we've had such good luck with popes!
