If you can do that, you will have the evening free...
Scalia's siege mentality was manifest in his speech this spring at a Mississippi prayer breakfast. "We are fools for Christ's sake...We must pray for the courage to endure the scorn of the sophisticated world," he declared, explaining that in educated circles Christians are regarded as "simpleminded."
