Every now and then you get the idea that Someone is playing a massive practical joke on you.
Actually, I have that feeling all the time. But The Farce is strong with me now, perhaps because both Cheech and Chong and Glenn Beck are coming to Bibleburg.

Elmer Gantry, courtesy of Sinclair Lewis:
“Let me count this day, Lord, as the beginning of a new and more vigorous life, as the beginning of a crusade for complete morality and the domination of the Christian church throughout the land. Dear Lord, thy work is but begun! We shall yet make these United States a moral nation!”
And Glenn Beck, courtesy of (who else?) Glenn Beck:
“We are 12 hours away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America. And it has nothing to do with this city or politics. It has everything to do with God Almighty.”
The Gantry soliloquy comes at the end of the book. Let’s hope Beck’s tale is likewise coming to a close.
