Andrew Klavan has a delightful episode about America’s newspaper of record:
I like most the explanation about Pope Benedict XVI. Excellent.
Several blogs out there are presenting this stand up act of Carlin as their Earth Day offering.

Carlin reminds me of a crass but witty pre-Socratic philosopher, or perhaps a sophist or a cynic.

Mr. Klavan has a humorous infomercial on religion, which I find clever and smile inducing. Enjoy.
He’s great.
