"He instinctively can find the shining greatness of our American culture and does a good job of highlighting it (although he also does have those rare lapses when he writes about hockey, but that is something caused by impurities in the Eastern waters or something)." Erik Keilholtz

Friday, June 27, 2003 In covering the Anglican crack-up, Christopher Johnson of Midwest Conservative Journal has been without peer. Reading his send-up of the latest Episcopal "peace" mission to the Mideast, all I could think of was Monty Python's Fire Brigade Sketch:
(As she puts the phone down the front door beside her opens and there stands a huge African warrior in war paint and with a spear and shield. At his feet are several smart suitcases.)
Eamonn: Mummy,
Mrs Little: Eamonn. (he brings in the cases and doses the front door) Mervyn! Look it's our Eamonn - oh let me look at you, tell me how... how is it in Dublin?
Eamonn: Well, things is pretty bad there at the moment but there does seem some hope of a constitutional settlement.
Mrs Little: Oh don't talk. Let me just look at you,
Eamonn: Great to be home, mummy. How are you?
Mrs Little: Oh, I'm fine. I must just go upstairs and get your room ready.
Eamonn: It's a bungalow, mummy.
Mrs Little: Oh dam, yes. Mervyn, Mervyn - look who's here, it's our Eamonn come back to see us.
(Mervyn appears. He still looks shattered by the death of the hamster.)
Mervyn: Hello, Eamonn.
Eamonn: Hello, Merv.
Mervyn: How was Dublin?
Eamonn: Well as I was telling mummy here, things is pretty bad there at the moment but there does seem some hope of a constitutional settlement.
