"There is no fact-checker more ruthless than I when it comes to me quoting myself." -- Elliot Bougis

I think it's only fair that I give credit to me for giving credit to myself for providing such quotable quotations when I needs them.

I love losing Facebook friends for ideological reasons!

It would be unfortunate if Elliot's head were to be saved.

The Pope's interfaith/non-believer dialogue was a fine effort; however, the manner in which it was presented seemed to leave out a sustantial definition of what was to take place. Were the non-believers a select few or all? Or, were there to be intellectuals that would meet the parameters of Albetus Magnus's principles? Non-believers, those like Hitchens and Dawkins have already accepted their position as victims of their own inquisition.
