One of the more amusing bits of commentary motivated by Mitt Romney's first Presidential run:
"My residual problem with Romney being a Mormon is not that Mormonism is a faith (the atheist's problem), or that Mormonism is not unambiguously Christian (the Christian's problem), but that it seems such a wacky collection of man-made Moronical codswallop. And I do find myself wondering - even if he is a natural conservative, even if Mormonism is, as he puts it, "the faith of my fathers", including the most recent father whom he hero-worshipped - how on earth a well-educated man who aspires to lead the most powerful and modern nation in the world can seriously believe this stuff. Ah well, there's nowt so queer as folk."
