Arelcao Akleos said...: I wonder if she is related to Rev. Coffin, that Yalie chaplain back in the 60s and 70s who egged on so many of the Leftie anti-war types?; 12/05/2008 9:05 PM
Tecumseh said...: I remember that friggin pinko chaplain -- but he was in NYC, close by Columbia, from what I remember: either Riverside Church, or St. John the Divine. All ban-the-bomb, better-red-than-dead jabbering, all the time. Joys of Planet Pepe! (Was Obama in the pews, I wonder?); 12/05/2008 9:49 PM
Arelcao Akleos said...: don't think so. I think Baracky was at Columbia in the mid-late 80s.; 12/05/2008 10:43 PM
Arelcao Akleos said...: Any news on tomorrow, AI?; 12/05/2008 10:43 PM
Mr roT said...: So what about Swift? I think it is a proposal, that seems modest and probably will sway anti-religious types better than an appeal to Jesus' words and deeds.; 12/05/2008 11:00 PM
Arelcao Akleos said...: Read Swift's "A Modest Proposal". That's my modest proposal.; 12/05/2008 11:08 PM
