The Bishop and the Butterfly: Murder, Politics, and the End of the Jazz Age

    Whodunit!

    So now we know the culprits of the holiday blizzard: weatherman Pat Robertson, with his direct cellphone line to God, revealed that it was his punishment to Americans who were planning to attend some gay event! The Eastern flight snarl, furthermore, would prevent them from attending until it was over. And straights, get this: "I think God probably wonders, if these people are really straight, then what are they doing in New York?"

    The incoming teabaggers will have a good deal of their agenda devoted to another form of terrorism: the conspiracies of which the gays are being alleged: teaching gay life styles from kindergarten onward; same-sex advocates who are gaining ground; and then the recent repeal of DADT will allow “recruitment” of straights by gays —even allow—gasp—for gay military officers. (I know they’re there—I was one for 8 years!)

    Is it too much to hope that in these not too propitious times, the mayhem may even provoke some new spiritual values to emerge?
