...same thing with other people. Believe me, I’ve got my own list for “tools,” “douchebags” and the like. (I even have a list of Anti-Chrises, the human particles I avoid completely, lest we annihilate each other in a weird anthropomorphic physics catastrophe.) Once you find your way on to my lists, it’s really hard to get off. What scares me is that everyone has lists like mine. How do I know that all those people in my sections aren?...
...make that bit particularly supportive of his cause. Falwell no doubt liked God better when he was laying down plagues and wiping out whole peoples from the earth. The God that he supposedly follows—the God of love, human fellowship, forgiveness and, to repeat lest we forget again, love—doesn’t fit in well with the Christian Right agenda.

And lest you think there's something special about football that encourages vulgarity, USA Today last week had a front-page story on the troubles that colleges are having with cursing at basketball games. University of Maryland coach Gary Williams has been forced to appeal for more decorous behavior from fans...
...imagined and may no longer be able to write his own exit lines. And they revived plans, long abandoned, of a badly needed reform of the nation's numerous, mysterious, overlapping and often quarrelsome intelligence agencies. Bush had shelved the idea of a massive, one-time overhaul after 9/11, lest the undertaking distract the nation's spooks from their job of protecting the country from further calamity. But if the resulting work has not been effective, as Kay's findings suggest, there's little reason to put off a fix much longer...
