-evangelical outpost
"Blogs are like sausages, it is better not to see them being made."
-Commenter on DanielDrezner.com, revising Bismarck
"Occam's Razor, revised: do not multiply clauses unneccesarily"

"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
