2. It is better to be obtuse and let them...
think about it but it usually goes over their heads anyway.

3. Have the MSM reported on this?
Churches snubbing Blinky the Wonder Chimp would be big news, you'd think.

5. I just heard this reported on the BBC World Service
"...here too the Bush administration is seen as lagging behind."

Not sure if the BBC counts as MSM in the US though. :-)

6. You're right,
here's a bit from the BBC website:

Time for prayer over'

The day-of-prayer initiative has been criticised by several pastors:

While many places of worship have said that they will participate, several others said that they had already held their services and would not.

"Not to be critical, but the president is a little late," Rev Reginald Jackson, president of the Black Ministers Council of New Jersey, was quoted by the Associated Press news agency as saying.

Rev Enoch Fuzz, president of the Interdenominational Ministers Fellowship, which represents about 100 Tennessee pastors, said the effort now should be on action, not praying.

"We need a prayer that's walking and not just talking," Rev Fuzz told the AP. "We need a prayer with legs right now."

7. Enoch Fuzz!

I love that name. "Rev. Fuzz" It sounds like the name of a member of 1970s Jazz-Funk Fusion band. :-)


On edit: Now with all the right letters in just the right place.

4. I am reminded of the words of Robert Ingersoll...
"The hands that help are better far than lips that pray."
