There's a story about Catholic priests who contracted to have a new church built for their congregation. When the church was completed, and just before the priests came for their final inspection, the contractor cemented a Buddhist statue in the center of the altar. Seeing the statue, the priests were incensed, demanding its removal before they would pay and take possession of the church. The contractor happily complied. The contractor anticipated the priests' response, but that was a part of his agenda. He built the statue to divert the priests' attention from other possible shortcomings of the construction job. That's precisely what Congress has done with the McCain-Feingold/Shays-Meehan campaign finance reform bill that passed the House by 240-189 and is now before the Senate.

And now is law. Perfect story, BTW. I love Dr. Williams to pieces.

Yep, his analysis is usually "spot on".

I even love the way he constantly clears his throat when he is on Rush's show. It somehow makes his points seem all the more eloquent. As if there is something really big inside of him that he needs to edge out gently.
